Re: Looking at Malaysian Palm Oil Today (none / 0)

Is palm oil used as a fuel? I have only seen it as an ingredient in processed foods.

Any vegetable oil or animal fat can be used to make biodiesel.

Someone I know has tampered? with his car and uses know used cooking oil (mostly for frying), which he collects from restaurants. Seems a good idea to me, though I have no idea if this could be used in a larger scale.

Our energy coop's renewables study included an oil palm plantation to supply our diesel engines. Came out pretty expensive though.
