In September 2009, the city of Higashiomi launched a used cooking oil collection service for residents using its municipal "Chokotto" transit buses (chokotto bus means "quick bus ride" in Japanese).
在日本,地溝油被制作成蠟燭。2009年12月,日本東近江市針對乘坐城市公交快線的本市居民,發(fā)起收集廢棄食用油的行動。
The collected cooking oil is refined and recycled for use as biodiesel fuel (BDF) in the very same buses, which run on 12 routes through the city.
收集上來的食用油通過提煉,最終變成生物柴油,為運營在該市12條線路上的快速公車提供燃料。
