Palm kernel oil (extracted
from fruit seeds of oil palm tree) and palm oil (extracted from palm
fruit) are the two products obtained from palm tree. Crude palm oil,
CPO, is used to make biodiesel.
BIODIESEL FROM VEGETABLE
OIL
Biodiesel should sobstitute
diesel as it is a more clean fuel.
The mayor plantations which
produce palm oil are in Malaysia and Indonesia but palm oil trees
are also planted in many other countries between equator and the 8th
parallel. The production is increasing in these years as result of
the huge demand from European countries to make biodiesel.
