Fuel made from coconut oil helps limit emissions

Limiting emissions is a measure recommended by experts to address global warming. While countries are discussing the direction to do this, an Australian entrepreneur introduced a product that he thinks is very effective and completely environmentally friendly. It is made from coconut oil fuel.

Australian businessman John Wolrath may have found gold in the small Solomon Island in the Pacific. He is the owner of a company that is producing fuel from coconut oil for sale locally. While the demand for cheaper and environmentally friendly fuel is increasing, Wolrath's business is probably also thriving.

Do not export anything, people let them fall and spoil. I have heard about coconut oil. , and decided to buy a sawmill to switch to producing 1,000 liters of oil every day. And I'm building my fortune from this small factory. "

Extracts from coconut rice can be used to directly replace diesel or blend with diesel. This type of fuel called biodiesel is produced by enhancing the chemical composition of vegetable oils or animal fats. The glycerin in the oil is removed and replaced with alcohol.

Wolrath's company is selling products for $ 0.70 liters, a little lower than regular gasoline prices. Wolrath is calling for funding to expand production, but he said his call did not respond. But with demand growing, raw materials are available, Wolrath believes he will soon promote his eco-friendly fuel.
