Prices for used cooking oil (UCO) delivered to the US Gulf Coast continued to climb on Tuesday December 10, even as markets softened in other regions.
Sizeable volumes of UCO traded into the Gulf, at 46 cents per lb delivered.

But many agree that the anticipated shift from the Blender’s Tax Credit (BTC) to the Clean Fuel Production Tax Credit (CFPTC) is expected to solidify used cooking oil and other waste fats as the preferred feedstocks.
