Not really. Biomass refers to the waste products of plants which are burned to produce electricity. These include, bagasse, wood, brush, chaff or any other farm or agricultural production waste products. Vegetable, or cooking oil, waste is not an agricultural waste product.

It is however a food waste, like garbage, which can be converted into biodiesel and glycerine, leaving less waste product to be disposed.
