The high cost of energy supplies as well as the over the availabylity of oil have brought much pressure on many countries to search for renewable energy sources, especially after the oil crisis in 1973. Vegetable oil fuels such as palm oil fuel provide one of the alternative forms of energy that are currently being studied, particularly as a diesel fuel substitute.. The purpose of this note is to review the potencial of palm oil as a alternative fuel in automative and industrial diesel engines with respect to its performance and tribological, environmental, economic and social implications..
