GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Incineration plant for household waste
French term or phrase: UVO
"une UVO permettant de traiter la fraction organique contenue dans les ordures ménagères résiduelles (OMR), pour une capacité d’environ xx,xxx t/an afin de produire du biométhane injectable sur le réseau de distribution xxxxxx."

The only possibility I've come up with so far is "Used vegetable oil", but the scale is too big for it to be that, into the tens of thousand of tonne per annum.
