Yes, peanut oil qualifies as a biofuel feedstock. While not commonly used in its raw form due to high cost and viscosity, it is excellent for biodiesel production through transesterification. The resulting biodiesel offers clean combustion, good lubricity, and high cetane numbers. When processed with the GlobeCore USB plant, peanut oil yields a high-quality, renewable fuel compatible with diesel engines, contributing to energy diversification and reduced environmental impact.
