Coconut Oil as Biodiesel Fuel

Coconut oil is making the news again in a new way. It turns out that coconut oil makes a great biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel is a renewable and biodegradable fuel extracted from plant oil. Coconut Biodiesel fuel will help substantially in reducing emissions from diesel-fed engines. It is now starting to be used in the United States, Philippines, Canada, Thailand, and many countries in Europe.

According to a Philippine Manufacturer, Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) or Coco-Biodiesel is one of the best forms of biodiesels and offers excellent lubricity, solvency, and detergency. Studies show that the addition of Coco-Biodiesel results in better combustion, less pollution, and more engine power; the engines run smoothly & with longer maintenance intervals. Coco-Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine with little or no modification to the engine or fuel system. Also, blending Coco-Biodiesel with standard diesel actually improves the quality of the diesel fuel. Just a 1% mix of Coco-Biodiesel is enough to significantly reduce emissions. http://www.doe.gov.ph/Alternative/cme.htm
