Coconut oil for fuel

I heard about this long ago, now I finally find it on major news outlet.

Coconut oil -- extracted from copra, or coconut meat -- can be used to make biodiesel to directly substitute diesel, or be blended with diesel. SOPAC said engines only need to be adapted for diesel blends of more than 10 percent coconut oil.

Electricity companies in Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa are testing blends of coconut oil and diesel to run power generators.


Looks quite real. Hopefully it helps on the energy crisis, although I don't think it will be a huge source for energy.
