Driving Road Transport Decarbonization with Certified FAME and UCOME
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester) are renewable diesel fuels produced by transesterification of vegetable oils, animal fats and used cooking oil, refined to meet international fuel-quality and sustainability standards. Both are used as road-transport diesel substitutes or blend components in B7, B10, B30 and B100 programs. Prime Elements supplies certified FAME and UCOME sourced to specification, backed by ISCC and RED II-compliant documentation.
Consistent Quality and Performance
We verify all critical specifications before each shipment — including ester content, cetane number, viscosity and cold filter plugging point. All volumes are produced to meet EN 14214, with seasonal CFPP grades matched to the destination market and delivery window.
Trusted Logistics Partner
Prime Elements ensures flexible and scalable delivery options, including bulk vessel shipments, rail tank cars, road tankers and ISO tank containers, with end-to-end documentation support. Our logistics network covers road, rail and sea transport to keep supply reliable across European and international markets.
Compliance and Sustainability
All FAME and UCOME volumes are supplied with ISCC and RED II-compliant documentation, supporting greenhouse-gas emission-reduction reporting for our clients. UCOME, produced from used cooking oil, qualifies as a waste-based biofuel under Annex IX Part B and supports circular-economy and CO₂-reduction objectives.

Choose Prime Elements as your partner in dependable, certified biodiesel supply for the energy transition.
FAME and UCOME biodiesel are used as diesel substitutes and blend components across road transport, off-road machinery and stationary power generation.
Typical applications include:
- Road diesel blending (B7, B10, B30)
- B100 use in compatible fleet and captive vehicle operations
- Renewable diesel and biodiesel blending programs
- Circular-economy fuel production from used cooking oil (UCOME)
- Off-road, agricultural and construction machinery fuel
- Industrial and fleet decarbonization initiatives
Compliance with EN 14214 makes FAME and UCOME blend-ready substitutes for conventional road diesel, usable without engine modification within approved blend ratios.
