While olive oil biodiesel is low in emissions and fully biodegradable, environmental impact depends on feedstock sourcing. Using virgin oil raises concerns about food competition and resource use. However, producing biodiesel from waste olive oil or byproducts of pressing improves sustainability. The GlobeCore USB plant supports such practices by enabling clean conversion of lower-grade oils into eco-friendly fuel, making it a strong solution for circular bioeconomy goals.
