A visit to ASB Biodiesel Plant was organized on 26 October 2021 for students to better understand the waste oil recycling and sustainable biofuel development in Hong Kong. ASB Biodiesel Plant is located in Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate in which 250 tons waste oil is treated per day and around 230 tons sustainable biodiesel is produced. Biodiesel can be widely used in industry and transportation, replacing the fossil fuel diesel. Waste oil recycling and reuse is not only reducing the landfill pressure but also prohibiting the waste oil from re-entering food chain.
Students were able to know about the background, objectives and products of ASB Biodiesel Plant through a talk and a guided walk in the factory. They also gained a deeper understanding about the process of converting wasted oil to biodiesel and the safe operation of Biodiesel Plant.
