Crude Sunflower Oil
Crude sunflower oil is supplied in two distinct types for fuel use. Standard high-linoleic seed gives good cold flow but weak oxidation stability; high-oleic seed reverses both, and the two are not interchangeable in a specification.
Crude Soybean Oil
Crude soybean oil is the dominant biodiesel feedstock in the Americas. Its high linoleic content gives good cold-flow properties but the weakest oxidation stability of the major feedstocks, so antioxidant treatment is standard.
Crude Rapeseed Oil
Crude rapeseed oil is the reference biodiesel feedstock in Europe. Its high oleic and low saturated content give rapeseed methyl ester the best cold-flow behaviour of any major FAME, which is why it dominates in temperate markets.
Crude Palm Oil
Crude palm oil is the highest-yielding biodiesel feedstock per hectare of any oil crop. Its saturated profile gives an unusually high cetane number and excellent oxidation stability, at the cost of poor cold-flow behaviour.
Crude Palm Kernel Oil
Crude palm kernel oil comes from the seed of the oil palm fruit, not the pulp, and is a lauric oil. Its short C12 and C14 chains give the highest cetane number and the lowest cloud point of the palm-derived fuel feedstocks.
