Thammasat University and Bangchak team up to turn used cooking oil into aviation fuel
Thammasat University and Bangchak Corporation are jointly promoting systematic handling of used cooking oil through the Fry to Fly and No Re-frying projects, with used oil going towards aviation fuel production.
Why it matters: Thammasat University has committed, with Bangchak Corporation, to campaign against reusing frying oil and to channel used cooking oil towards aviation fuel production.
Thammasat University said it is working with Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited to promote systematic management of used cooking oil.
According to the university, the collaboration runs under two projects: Fry to Fly and the No Re-frying project.
The university said the partnership campaigns to reduce the reuse of frying oil and to put used oil towards producing aviation fuel.

Thammasat University and Bangchak Corporation have agreed to run the Fry to Fly and No Re-frying projects together, so used cooking oil handled under the scheme is intended to feed aviation fuel production rather than be reused for frying.
