Raw corn oil is too viscous for direct use in diesel engines. However, once converted into biodiesel, it becomes a suitable and clean-burning fuel for standard diesel engines. Transesterification reduces viscosity and improves combustion properties. The GlobeCore USB system ensures this transformation is done efficiently, resulting in a fuel that meets ASTM D6751 or EN 14214 standards. This makes corn oil a practical renewable fuel option when processed correctly.
