  • Is palm olein a sustainable option for biodiesel production?
  • Palm olein can become a sustainable option for biodiesel production because it is a bye product of palm oil ( Pannilawithana and Pathirana, 2017 ). Both unrefined palm oil (UPO) and palm kernel oil are primary oil sources from oil palm trees ( Gourichon; 2013 ).

This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging.

  • According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), if Nigeria had maintained its market dominance in the palm oil industry, the country would have been earning approximately $20 billion annually from cultivation and processing of palm oil as at today. To meet the supply gap of palm oil, the country had to depend on importation over the years.
