Sunday June 3 9:37 AM ET Thai King Promotes Homegrown 'Green' Palm Fuels By Dominic Whiting dailynews.yahoo.com ``Crude palm oil prices are about eight baht (17 cents) at the moment, while diesel is 15 baht per liter, so this will be widely used because it's cheap, and people can make the fuel themselves,'' Sawang said. ``But we have to advise the public on the right formula to use.'' Greenpeace's Jiragorn said palm oil would cut down hazardous exhaust emissions, particularly carbon dioxide -- one of the causes of global warming. ``Tests have shown there's less air pollution from palm oil, almost no carbon dioxide because combustion is more complete, less carbon dioxide than fossil fuels, and no sulfur emissions at all,'' he said. Malaysia, which accounts for more than half the world's palm oil production, and Indonesia are also developing palm oil fuel. Sweden, Brazil, Australia, Canada and Mexico are using ethanol, which can be produced from cane sugar and from palm and coconut trees. (excerpts)
