  • Used cooking oil is considered a second-generation feedstock, whereas the virgin vegetable oil from which it originated is classified as first-generation.

    “Materials originally derived from food products may only be classified as 2-G feedstocks when representing unavoidable residues or waste streams not diverted from the food chain or when they have become unsuitable for consumption [118]; for example, used cooking oil (UCO) is considered a 2-G feedstock, whereas the virgin vegetable oil from which it originated is classified as 1-G [119].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
