Used cooking oil is being recycled into biodiesel. They are a valuable commodity right now.Curious, can Used cooking oil be used to make ethane? Cn seem to export alot of UCO..
Americans will be too poor to cook with new oil in the future. They will experience the full “gutter oil” experience that they love to bring up whenever China is mentioned. Bon appetit!Used cooking oil is being recycled into biodiesel. They are a valuable commodity right now.
Trump didn’t even have to create a Waffen SS equivalent. It’s like if the Wermacht took off their uniforms to reveal the SS runes that were on their collars all along.View attachment 154164
The context is that the US soldiers behind Trump Booed at the media and Biden name, violating the A-political role the US Military has therefore the US Army is the new Waffen SS.
Of course, there will also be a reduction in the profits of these companies, which they transfer to the US. And these are big numbers. The balance of payments, which is almost balanced today, could fluctuate significantly.Bro most of those exporters are American, European, SK and Japanese company. Apple alone accounts for 22% of Chinese exports to the US. So the narrative that China suffers is false and the one who is lobbying the most are the multinationals.
From my readings, the Chinese restriction strategy is the right one, a total ban will force your customers to be your competitor, destroying your monopoly.
Is this true? Does China really buy all of it's ethane from US?
China imported per day of U.S. ethane in 2024—a substantial volume representing nearly half of total U.S. ethane exports. At first glance, this might seem like significant leverage. But context matters. Ethane accounts for only 8–10 percent of China’s total ethylene production feedstock, with the vast majority coming from naphtha (70 percent) and liquified petroleum gas (15–20 percent). Even if U.S. ethane disappeared entirely tomorrow, China would lose at most 5–6 percent of its ethylene capacity in the short term.
More critically, China’s petrochemical infrastructure was built with exactly this kind of supply disruption in mind. The country’s newest crackers utilize —particularly Linde’s PyroCrack systems—which can switch between gas feeds (e.g., ethane) and liquid feeds (e.g., naphtha). This is not theoretical capability; it is engineered resilience designed to handle, among other things, geopolitical volatility.
When U.S. ethane supplies are cut off, Chinese plants do not shut down—they simply burn more naphtha.
