Yes, corn oil is a viable feedstock for biodiesel production. It undergoes transesterification, where it reacts with methanol and a base catalyst to produce fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerin. While not as widely used as soybean or palm oil, corn oil—especially distillers corn oil (a byproduct of ethanol production)—is cost-effective and abundant. The GlobeCore USB biodiesel plant is fully compatible with corn oil and automates the process to deliver high-quality biodiesel that meets industry fuel standards.
