of a call for project proposals
unprecedented within the industry
In February 2024, CYCLEV-
IA launched a nationwide
call for project proposals
to build a waste oil regen-
eration facility in France
capable of producing group
2 and/or 3 base oils. This
will boost the volume and
quality of regenerated oils
on the French market. Even-
tually, the facility will produce oils compatible with the
latest generation equipment, in particular Euro 5 and 6
engines. Currently, France only has industrial units pro-
ducing Group 1 oils which are unsuitable for these more
demanding engines Therefore French formulators have
no choice but to obtain supplies from Europe mainly
Germany and Italy where increased demand is leading to
a shortage of available volumes CYCLEVIA is supporting
the project with 105 million and will provide its opera
tor with specif ic aid for Group 2 andor 3 regenerated oils
placed back on the market in France This support may
be combined with existing aid for regenerators sourcing
waste oils collected in France
