English term or phrase: used fats

14. Alternative forms of fuel: Refuel your car with an alternative form of fuel such as biodiesel instead of diesel. It can be quite expensive in the short term but it is possible to refit your vehicle to run on gas, ethanol or {used fats} and vegetable oils. This tactic is especially good if the fuels are locally produced.

动物脂肪

Explanation:
我觉得这里应该是指“动物脂肪”。
参见：
生物燃料是指从农作物或动物的脂肪中提取的可再生燃料。目前，已研制成功并投入使用的植物油型燃料有菜籽油、棉籽油、棕榈油、豆油、甲醇酯混合油等。将植物油和动物脂肪与酒精反应，脱去甘油三酸脂转变成甲酯或乙基酯之后就可以在柴油机上使用，这些酯类物被称为“生物柴油”。

用过（回收）的动物油

Explanation:
请注意这里”used fats and vegetable oils"是连在一起的，可译为“用过/回收的动植物油”。
顺便提一句，biofuel（或者按其政治上正确的新名称“agrofuel"-因为其大规模生产依赖于大规模单一种植的甘蔗、大豆、玉米等作物）已被证实并非象其倡导者鼓吹的那样“绿色”和“环保”，发达国家的人们享受到这一“环保”的“清洁能源”，但在种植这些作物的国家却造成巨大的生态破坏，并且其生产过程中的二氧化碳排放量可能就已高过它作为“清洁能源"所减少的排放量。那些被跨国大公司垄断的种植场里侵犯人权的事件更是屡见不鲜。

Notes to answerer

Asker: 多谢！开始没看清楚句子结构！

Asker: 又看了一下，感觉应当是：used fats ＋used vegetable oils。如果是“动物油”，原文应当是used fat and vegetable oils，而不是used fats and vegetable oils。
