Palm oil is derived from the palm and is an essential source of income for many farmers ranging from South East Asia, Central to West Africa and Central America.
Even if it is mostly employed as cooking oil, it can be transformed as well and used as a biofuel. These biofuels are usually obtained from renewable materials such as vegetal oil and they are strongly promoted as “green products” in order to reduce net carbon monoxide and dioxide emissions.
Malaysia's economy heavily depends on the production of palm oil and together with Indonesia, they cover 80% of world production.
