They will be in competition with some of the street food cooks who buy up old oil to continue using the muck. St food is cheap for a reason! 

The production of SAF and how and when it is used is discussed in this article,

I don't want to believe this.   They do use cheap unhealthy palm oil.  

oho....safe costs.... but saves lives?

Is this for the upcoming trip to the moon?  ????

What could possibly go wrong? 

Jet engines cut out at 30,000. Thai aviation quick to make a statement "Nothing to do us".....

 

No thanks. 

In other news, a Bangkok street vendor told the press that since he started using jet fuel for cooking his sales had really taken off......????

I used to know a bloke who had a restaurant and they bought almost black old palm oil off him to use, horrible.

That is also another reason I never eat Thai street foods except steamed lemon fish. I don't like most Thai foods except Tom Yum Kung and steamed lemon fish. 

Which will be used to run engineless Chinese Submarines or Make Belief F-35 fighters.

Thailand --- Hub of all kind of oils!!!

Yep, I can see locals driving  around trying to find one of these stations to sell their cooking oil.

Or just tip it down the nearest drain like normal.

My Mrs collects her old cooking oil, often wondered what she does with it.

I had a friend who used this stuff in his old van and yes, it smelled like a mobile chip-shop!
