Phillips 66 has strengthened its renewable fuels supply chain through a long-term agreement with Restaurant Technologies, Inc. to source used cooking oil (UCO) from restaurants across the United States for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel production.
The agreement will supply ISCC-certified UCO to the Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewable Energy Complex in California, one of the world's largest renewable fuels facilities. The waste-based feedstock will be converted into renewable diesel and SAF, helping support demand for lower-carbon transport fuels.
Restaurant Technologies operates a nationwide collection network serving more than 45,000 foodservice locations. The company said its closed-loop system delivers cleaner, more consistent feedstock, reducing processing requirements and improving renewable fuel yields.
Phillips 66 said the deal enhances feedstock security as competition intensifies for waste oils and fats used in SAF and renewable diesel production. The agreement is also expected to support airlines and corporate customers seeking verified emissions reductions through the use of renewable fuels.
As global SAF demand rises, securing long-term access to sustainable feedstocks is becoming increasingly important. Industry analysts expect UCO to remain one of the most sought-after renewable fuel feedstocks due to its strong greenhouse-gas reduction profile and widespread regulatory acceptance.
