RE: Can Diesel engines run on Vegetable oil? Let's find out.

in #stemng6 years ago (edited)

When this gets popularized, the demand for vegetable oil could increase, and scarcity would set in, which will push up the price.
Imagine buying a litre of vegetable for 5000naira just to fry dodo :)
Maybe they should just go with another alternative - zobo could suffice. Don't you think so?
Wait, is it even possible for cars to run on zobo? 😂

Nice piece as always bro

Hehehe thats the bitter truth, popularisation of this would push the prices.
You mean Biozobo oil?

It's waste vegetable oil though, not fresh ones. So I don't think it would push the price of fresh vegetable oil up. Or could it?

One cannot get "waste" vegetable oil in large amounts to drive a good market for the bio-diesel, fresh oil can also be used and that might drive the prices
