Coconut oil as a biofuel

The purpose of this article is to highlight some very important facts and information with respect to using coconut oil (CNO) as alternative fuel to diesel due to its rising price.
The use of CNO is not new as it was used during the World War II, in Philippines by the armies fighting there due to shortage and disruption of diesel supply. In the Pacific Islands Countries (PICs), different projects and trials using CNO oil as fuel were implemented and tried.
Between 1991 and 1999 on the island of Ouvea (New Caledonia) two projects were established to use CNO as fuel to generate electricity.
