"Since we started back in 2010, we were actually the first company in the Gulf region and specifically in the UAE to recycle used cooking oil into biofuel and biodiesel," said Chairman Yousif Bin Saeed Al Lootah. It was a completely new concept at the time. Lootah Biofuels began with a basic biodiesel processing method. Over the years, they improved it through trial and error and by bringing in experts from Europe and Asia to refine the technology. One of their milestones was creating a small reactor called Biobot, which they send to schools so students can recycle their used cooking oil. It’s a simple way to start, but when it comes to scaling up to a larger plant, the process becomes much more complex.
