France has approved a proposal to refuel cars with used cooking oil instead of fuel, RIA Novosti reports referring to BFMTV.
The French Senate approved a proposal to fuel cars with used vegetable frying oil, but limited the possibility of its use. Thus, the use of frying oil instead of fuel will be allowed for specific fleets, i.e. vehicles belonging to a company or organization but not for individuals.
The proposal to fuel vehicles with used fryer oil was made by the deputies of the Green Party. The bill was first passed by the French National Assembly on first reading in July, but senators did not allow it. The French Senate’s position on the issue later changed.
Earlier, it was claimed that 20% of France’s gas stations were experiencing fuel supply disruptions. Minister of Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runachet said that the situation is slowly recovering and improving.
