European Food Safety Agency greenlights BDI-Bioenergy’s RepCAT for high risk fat materials

In Germany, BDI-Bioenergy’s research team has succeeded in convincing the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) that its RepCAT process is suitable for the recycling of high-risk fat materials. The RepCAT process is based on a patented sustainable technology using a recyclable catalyst in biodiesel production. This important process step increases product quality while reducing the consumption of operating materials.

Thus, the RepCAT process can be used to safely produce high-quality biodiesel from highly contaminated animal fats that pose a risk to the environment. This positive assessment was based on joint trials with the renowned University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf which led to a recognized technical publication.

Currently, BDI is building 3 large-scale industrial BioDiesel plants in the USA and Europe by means of the RepCAT technology.
