There are a lot of uses for used vegetable oil, that include but not limited to the followings:

1) reuse for cooking.
2) pet food
3) making soap
4) running diesel cars
5) convert to biodiesel
6) recycle waste
7) less CO2 and better for the environment

The lists go on and on.

Not to get off into another world...but... there is nothing wrong with CO2.

Ask anyone who has ever grown anything. Plants love CO2.
