Coconut oil biodiesel (FAME) is primarily composed of methyl laurate, methyl myristate, and methyl palmitate, derived from the saturated fatty acids in coconut oil. These short-chain methyl esters give it a high cetane number and excellent combustion properties. However, they also result in a relatively low cold-flow performance. The GlobeCore USB plant ensures proper processing so these methyl esters meet industry standards, offering clean-burning biodiesel with excellent ignition quality and lubricity.
