The potential of nyamplung oil in Indonesia reaches around 4.8 million metric tons per year, making it highly potential to be developed as a renewable energy source. Performance testing of diesel engines using pure nyamplung oil has been carried out and shows promising results.
This research is part of the development of biofuel-powered diesel engines, specifically those fuelled by coconut oil and nyamplung oil. Through a fuel heating system that utilises exhaust heat, conventional diesel engines can be adapted to use pure vegetable oil without undergoing a complicated chemical conversion process.
