Overview
OSE principles suggest minimal use of petroleum products, which often means the substitution of locally produced vegetable oils. Oil crops are also likely to be grown for edible cooking oils. In either case, appropriately-scaled oil processing technology is required.
Applications
- Cooking oil
- Hydraulic fluid
- Motor fuel (Biodiesel)
- Lubricating oil (e.g. [1])
- Paints/coatings
- Electrical dielectric fluid[2]
