  • Can palm oil be used as renewable diesel feedstock in Malaysia?
  • Although palm oil is edible oil, it is one of the main feedstocks for biodiesel production in Malaysia and one of the main exportation products worldwide. High possibility of palm oil being used as renewable diesel feedstock in Malaysia for the plan, shifting from biodiesel to renewable diesel production as a substitution for petroleum diesel.
  • Can sunflower oil be used as a feedstock for renewable diesel?
  • Studies were also conducted using edible oil like sunflower oil, palm oil, and soybean oil despite food competition. High conversion into renewable diesel was observed through selective deoxygenation using sunflower oil as a feedstock at an operating temperature of 310 °C , , .
  • Does sunflower oil make biodiesel?
  • However, sunflower oil has not been strongly involved in biodiesel on this decade, the major raw materials being in order of importance palm oil (17?MnT in 2019), soyabean oil (11?MnT), rapeseed oil (6.7?Mnt), tallow and reused oils (4.6?MnT).
  • Why is biodiesel industry growing in Malaysia?
  • At the same time, the bloc of palm oil derivatives from European Union (EU) also effected the biodiesel, as 80% of biodiesel is exported to EU. The combination of internal, external, and unexpected factors like has contributed to the growth of biodiesel industry in Malaysia, despite the available of abundance raw materials and mature technology.
  • Which Malaysian palm oil products are associated with Malaysian biodiesel?
  • Another Malaysian palm oil product that is closely associated with Malaysian palm-based biodiesel is the Used Cooking Oil (UCO). UCO is of reasonable value in the EU due to the bloc¡¯s commitment to the Renewable Energy Directive (RED).
  • Is sunflower oil better than palm oil for biodiesel?
  • Different oil sources such as corn, and grapeseed can be used in its production, however, sunflower oil has proved to have better fuel quality as compared to other oil sources [ 17, 18 ]. Furthermore, Simbi et al. [ 19 ], reported enhanced fuel quality of biodiesel produced from waste sunflower oil as compared to waste palm oil.
