Edible-oil refiners can sell acid oil, PFAD, and palm stearin to biodiesel buyers in India on the BioTradX marketplace.

Refinery by-products that become fuel

Acid oil from soapstock splitting, palm fatty acid distillate, and stearin fractions are established biodiesel inputs. They have different FFA bands than kitchen UCO.

How refiners should sell

Issue a COA per lot. List monthly tonnes. Prefer tanker movement. Marketplace RFQs from plants beat ad-hoc trader calls when you want a repeat offtake.

Do not blend into UCO

Mixing acid oil into used cooking oil to 'make volume' destroys trust and can violate how buyers report feedstock origin. Keep SKUs separate on BioTradX.
