Turning Waste Oil Into Clean Diesel for Sub-Saharan Cities
The Triple Challenge
Sub-Saharan cities face three critical challenges:
- Unreliable diesel supply.
- Volatile fuel prices.
- Hazardous waste oil and plastics accumulation.
Used motor oil, hydraulic fluids, and lubricant residues collect in depots, workshops, and landfills—creating environmental and public health risks. While plastic waste accumulate in the streets and on landfills.
