Sustainability depends on farming practices. While palm oil offers high yield per hectare, concerns include deforestation, land-use change, and water use. Using waste oil or certified sustainable palm oil improves the profile. The GlobeCore USB system further enhances sustainability by reducing chemical waste, enabling methanol recovery, and lowering energy use. It supports small-scale, local production models that can reduce the global footprint of palm oil biodiesel.
