About
National Highways awarded a contract to WSP for a research project on the production of biofuels from Used Cooking Oil (UCO), focusing on the potential for fraud and indirect impacts.
The research aims to address the shallow evidence base regarding the magnitude, likelihood, and impact of risks and issues related to UCO sustainability and traceability.
It will go beyond a literature review, preferably using a mixed-methods approach, to examine diversionary and indirect impacts of UCO demand and fraud risks in the supply chain, and identify key risk points and mitigation opportunities.
The contract value is £49,137.05.
