Problems the industry faces

High demand, low supply

As EU renewable fuels for transport incentives surge, demand for used cooking oil (UCO) for biofuels has increased and is set to almost double in the next year. UCO biofuels can deliver a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas when used in lieu of fossil fuels. Europe has not yet been able to keep up with demand for this waste, so more than half the UCO in the European biofuels market must travel from China, the US, Malaysia and Indonesia, among others.

Fraud in the supply chain

Public concerns and ongoing investigations on the legitimacy of biofuel UCO are rising. The EU sustainability rules that are currently in place can’t guarantee that imported UCO to Europe has been tracked, so rising demand beyond sustainable supply levels could lead to the importation of fake UCO, potentially leading to environmental devastations like deforestation. 

Hard to regulate

The EU has not yet instituted verification and monitoring requirements to stave off the sale of fake UCO along the supply chain. Checks to detect and prevent adulterated UCO from entering the biofuels market should be a top priority— but it isn’t. Detailed assessments of available UCO within EU member states do not, at this stage, exist.

Your supply chain is sorted, from end to end.

Trust

The UCO Network has aligned itself with partners who are experts in certifying genuine UCO intended for use in biofuels. We use a combination of Blockchain and IoT technologies to mitigate the risk of fraud in used cooking oil supply chain fraud.

Transparency

Transparency is everything, so we make it our business to know where the UCO is coming from and where it's heading. Also providing Proof of ownership of the feedstock used for production of Biofuels, no more can sellers  claim to have UCO when there's no UCO NFT in their wallet.

Traceability

We are joining the fight for a greener planet, so we monitor our supply chain from beginning to end with the utmost attention to sustainable practices. From certification, to production, to transportation, you can count onus. We will provide a solution to assess the origin of the feedstocks, and guarantee its compliance and sustainability.

Token utility

The $UCOIL token is the catalyst of the UCO Network ecosystem.

$UCOIL is the non-native token of UCO Network, powering its self driving circular economy.

It derives its utility from two main purposes: Access and Governance.The maximum supply of $UCOIL is fixed at 100 Million. The Token Distribution has been designed to ensure a gradual increase of the circulating supply of $UCOIL, to align the interests of the community, investors, core contributors and advisors, and to ensure longterm sustainability.

UCO Network has allocated $UCOIL tokens to be distributed as grants to the early builders and adopters of the UCO Network Protocol.It is important to also highlight the staking pool, where stakers can earn direct rewards incoming from UCO Network Protocol transaction fees.
