Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is one of the main products of South East Asian countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. Those two countries together supply more than two third world’s CPO needs. CPO is the main source from many food and cosmetic products.

In the present times, there is a growing popularity of CPO followed with the high demand. It is not only the increasing demand of food and cosmetic products but it also the fact that CPO is one of the best materials for biodiesel production. We all know that biodiesel become a new trend for alternative energy. As a result, the CPO price is growing higher. Of course it is directly affected to the high price on palm oil products. Palm oil is one of the most important ingredients of Malaysian and Indonesian culinary, and off course the people of those countries got the worst effect.

It is not only the high food price. High demand of CPO for biodiesel leads to a new environmental disaster. There are a high deforestation rates in both countries and most of them are turned to palm tree estates. Both countries are having bad reputation in deforestation and high CPO price make it worst. It is true that Biodiesel could reduce Carbon Gas Emission, but with the vast deforestation, is it equal with all the benefits of biodiesel?

The world is facing a major threat from global climate chance. There is an increasing awareness on gas carbon emission that is the most responsible for global climate chance. Since oil-based fuel is one that has the most carbon gas emission, we need to find much greener alternative energy resources. Among many alternatives, biodiesel is one of the most favorites.

Biodiesels could replace oil-based fuel in most of industrial and vehicle machineries without major modification and it could be directly applied to them. However, biodiesel leads to a new dilemma. Most of biodiesel are produced from crop plants and as the direct result, the food supply is decreasing and of course, the price is soaring high. But thanks to the new technology, there is an alternative source for biodiesel. It is the cellulosic materials.

Cellulosic materials used in biodiesel production are collected from switch grass, woodchips or other non-edible plant by products. Off course it is need enzymatic process to break complex cellulose on to a simple sugar structures prior to the fermentation process. Cellulosic materials are most common in ethanol production but it is reported that Japanese Government has been initiated commercial scale biodiesel production using grass clipping and wood chips. This could be the solution for both greener alternative energy and food security.

With the high oil price, off course you need to find new alternative especially in this tough economics. It would be more urgent with the threat of global climate change. We all know that oil-based fuel is the main producer of carbon gas emission that is responsible for the global climate chance.

Forget the Electric Vehicle (EV). Even the automotive industry itself buried this program. The most realistic options are using alternative fuel from non oil-based materials. Among them biodiesel and biofuels are the best options. It could be applied directly to our vehicles without need of major modification. Even with fewer emissions, our vehicles will need less maintenance. Furthermore, we can produce it ourselves in our own home.

Yes it is true, you don’t need to be a scientist to produce your own biodiesel. There are many DIY biodiesel kits offered in the market. It provides you with all equipment and needed to produce biodiesel from many different resources. All of them are based on the latest technology for effective and safety production. Well, off course you will need to learn proper knowledge about it. Producing your own biodiesel will totally cut your dependency to oil company and helps you save more money from your fuel expense. Moreover, you will take your part for the sustainable environment. Is it really nice?
