Palm oil eyed to power Brazil diesel buses and trucks
Brazil aims to use palm oil as a diesel substitute to cut dependence on imported oil. Experts note palm oil yields up to 4.5 tons per acre on poor Amazon soil, and DENPASA plans a 7,400 acre plantation near Belem. Research from the French Institute for Oils supports palm as a strong substitute, with officials citing potential for large scale use in the Amazon.
