In Poland at least, people were doing it - mostly rural in their tractors - but just straight using cooking oil for your trucks&tractors is illegal - too much pollution.
Of course SAF is cleaned up to different standards. Also, SAF is not just cooking oil, they use various kinds of tech.
- davidzweig 3y agoRunning personal cars on cooking oil was legal in the UK up to a certain number of litres/year. I think it was more an issue of taxation, I'm not aware that it creates additional polution.
- kolinko 3y agoI just checked and you're right. In Poland it's also during taxation - the penalties for using that are due to taxation laws, not environmental laws.
