Biodiesel

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel for diesel engines made of vegetable oils and animal fats. It can be mixed well with conventional diesel fuel. The mix ration can be from 1% to 99%. The blending rate of the FAME varies by country within the European Union according to each state’s own regulations.

Glycerol

Crude glycerol is a liquid byproduct of biodiesel production, obtained by transesterification of fatty acids. The basic raw material used in the production are vegetable oils, while UCO (used cooking oil) can be used as well.
