Introduction
Vegetable oil can be used as fuel for diesel engines, either as straight vegetable oil (SVO) or as biodiesel (after chemical conversion). Given rising crude oil prices and the search for renewable fuel solutions, there was a worldwide hype surrounding biofuels - especially as fuel for vehicles - in industrialised countries some years ago. However frustration instantly followed, as exportoriented biofuel mass production appeared fraught with environmental and social problems. Local production and use of biofuels came back on the agenda. Since then the potentials of local electricity production based on plant oil have been more seriously considered for rural areas in the developing world.
