Can you make biofuel from corn?

Yes, corn can be used to produce two major types of biofuels: ethanol (from corn starch) and biodiesel (from corn oil). Ethanol is produced through fermentation, while corn oil is converted to biodiesel via transesterification. Ethanol dominates the market, but corn oil biodiesel—especially as a byproduct of ethanol refining—adds extra value to the crop. The GlobeCore USB plant enables efficient, small- or large-scale conversion of corn oil into biodiesel, supporting integrated biofuel systems in agriculture.
