  • How is palm biodiesel produced?
  • Palm biodiesel production involves two main steps. First, palm oil is extracted, and then the oil is processed to produce biodiesel. These steps are explained in detail here. Processors of palm oil of all scales proceed through the operating processes of the unit.
  • What is first-generation biodiesel made from?
  • In general, first-generation biodiesel is produced from edible oils and food crops. Common feedstocks include soybean oil [ , , ], sunflower oil [ , , ], palm oil [ , , , ], rapeseed oil [ , , , ], and cottonseed oil [ , , , ].
  • How is biodiesel produced?
  • In general, biodiesel can be produced through transesterification reaction, in which triglyceride from vegetable oil is reacted with short-chain alcohol (e.g., methanol) in the presence of catalyst as shown in Equation (1). Soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, and palm oils are among the common vegetable oils that are used in biodiesel production.
  • Does palm oil mill effluent produce biodiesel?
  • The production of biodiesel using residual oil from palm oil mill effluent and crude lipase from oil palm fruit as an alternative substrate and catalyst. Fuel 2017, 195, 82¨C87. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Klabsong, M.; Kungskulniti, N.; Puemchalad, C. Feasibility study of biodiesel production from residual oil of palm oil mill effluent. Int. J.
  • Can palm oil be used for biodiesel?
  • 4.3. The Prospect of Palm Oil By-Products and Mill Effluent for Biodiesel Production Although the effects of biodiesel on the global food market prices could be considered as non-significant, the focus must be put on non-edible sources rather than the edible sources to ensure the social acceptance of biodiesel.
  • Is palm oil a viable feedstock for biodiesel production?
  • Although oil palm has been severely questioned regarding its sustainability and environmental issues, the oil yield attained annually is still far superior than other edible oil bearing crops. Therefore, palm oil should be considered as an alternative and promising feedstock to further diversified the biodiesel production in the global market.
