Celebrating 25 years of biodiesel production at ecoMotion

25 years of biodiesel from animal fats, used cooking oils, and waste and residue-based raw materials 

Long before circular economy and renewable fuels became widely recognized concepts, ecoMotion was already demonstrating the potential of waste- and residue-based feedstocks. 

ecoMotion as we know it today was not built overnight. What began in 2001 with animal fats and used cooking oils, and was later bundled under the ecoMotion name, has grown over time into a European network capable of processing increasingly complex raw materials and supporting the next generation of renewable fuels. 

Over the last 25 years, plants, technologies and feedstock portfolio have continuously been adapted, helping to transform unconventional feedstock into an established part of Europe’s renewable fuel landscape. 

The knowledge, commitment and entrepreneurial spirit of ecoMotion’s teams across Europe have been essential in transforming an ambitious idea into a long-term success story. Their expertise, resilience and ability to adapt have enabled ecoMotion to remain at the forefront of renewable fuels for more than two decades.
