Yes, sunflower oil can be used to produce biodiesel, which is a renewable alternative to petroleum diesel. However, raw sunflower oil cannot be used directly in most engines due to its viscosity and combustion characteristics. It must first be converted into biodiesel via a process known as transesterification. GlobeCore’s USB biodiesel production unit is specifically designed for this, ensuring high-quality fuel output from various oils including sunflower. The resulting biodiesel meets international standards and is engine-safe.
