Recycled Vegetable Oil Available is a calculator that simulates the production, use, and trade of vegetable oil. It comprises 3 procedures:
| Inputs | Outputs |
|---|---|
| crop for person food (tonnes/year) from Food Biomass Requirements | vegatable oil use (tonnes/year) |
| oil production feedstock intensity (intensity per oil crop type) |
Vegetable Oil Use uses crop for person food (tonnes/year) from Food Biomass Requirements and oil production feedstock intensity (intensity per oil crop type) to determine vegetable oil use (tonnes/year), which is passed on to the following procedure.
| Inputs | Outputs |
|---|---|
| vegatable oil use (tonnes/year) | vegatable oil import (tonnes/year) |
| vegatable oil export (tonnes/year) | vegatable oil production required (tonnes/year) |
| vegatable oil import share (tonnes/year) |
The Trade procedure uses vegatable oil export (tonnes/year), vegatable oil import share (tonnes/year), vegatable oil use (tonnes/year) from (1) Vegetable Oil Use to compute the quantity of vegatable oil imports (tonnes/year) and the domestic vegatable oil production required (tonnes/year).
| Inputs | Outputs |
|---|---|
| vegatable oil use (tonnes/year) | used vegatable oil available (tonnes/year) |
| vegatable oil reuse fraction |
Vegatable Oil Reuse uses vegatable oil use (tonnes/year) and the vegatable oil reuse fraction () to determine the amount of vegetable oil available for reuse and saves it in the variable used vegatable oil available (tonnes/year).
