In the UK, Stolthaven Terminals, part of Stolt-Nielsen Ltd, a global provider of bulk-liquid logistics, distribution, and storage services, has announced that it is partnering with cooking oil supplier and collector, Olleco, the renewables division of Ireland-headed ABP Food Group, to build a state-of-the-art used cooking oil (UCO) processing plant at its Dagenham facility.
Stolthaven Dagenham has allocated land to Olleco to build the facility, which will process UCO collected from restaurants and food production sites.
It will then be transferred to Stolthaven Dagenham’s storage tanks before it is converted into renewable, low-carbon biodiesel fuel.
We are pleased to welcome Olleco to our Stolthaven Dagenham terminal. In recent years, we have invested significantly in the terminal – including a new jetty due for completion this year – to ensure we continue to meet the specific needs of our customers and we are looking forward to partnering with Olleco on this project, said Steve Walker, General Manager, Stolthaven Dagenham.
Stolthaven Dagenham is the closest storage terminal to Central London and is well connected by road to the greater London area and South East England, making it a strategic new location for Olleco, which has several UCO processing sites in other parts of the UK.
This long-term partnership with Olleco aligns with both companies focus on developing sustainable energy alternatives.
This is an exciting next step for Olleco. The new facility will deliver efficient conversion of our waste oil, whilst adding capacity to facilitate our continued growth. We’re delighted to partner with Stolthaven, a company that aligns with our values and are committed to the renewable agenda, said Ciara O’Keeffe O’Donovan, Olleco Executive Member.
It also supports Stolthaven Terminals’ sustainability strategy and highlights its commitment to providing bespoke solutions for its customers.
Our new partnership with Olleco highlights the significance of waste oil in the production of biofuels and the role we play in the supply chain and the transition to sustainable products and alternative fuels. Together with our sister companies, Stolt Tankers, and Stolt Tank Containers, we provide safe, integrated storage and handling solutions to the biofuel industry worldwide, and our Dagenham terminal stores UCO for several customers, ended Pim van den Doel, Commercial and Business Development Manager (EMEA) at Stolthaven Terminals.
