Biodiesel from Peanut Oil – Groundnut, Peanut Oil as Biofuel
History tells us that Rudolf Diesel ran his first diesel engine on peanut oil. Even later, during times of fuel shortages, cars and trucks were successfully run on preheated peanut oil. Currently however, peanut oil is used relatively less (when compared to sunflower oil, palm oil or soybean oil) for biodiesel production. One major reason could be the cost.

Peanut oil - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peanut oil is an organic oil derived from peanuts, noted to have the slight aroma and taste of its parent legume. It is often used in Southeast Asian cuisine much as olive oil is used in the Mediterranean. Peanut oil is appreciated for its high smoke point relative to many other cooking oils. Its major component fatty acids are palmitic acid (8-14%), oleic acid (36-67%), and linoleic acid (14-34%). The oil also contains some 6-8% (total) of arachidic acid, arachidonic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid and other fatty acids.
Peanut oil was used as the original source of fuel for the diesel engine.
Peanut oil is most commonly used when frying foods, particularly french fries. Commercial peanut oil will not cause an allergic reaction because the allergen is a protein, not a fat; however, organic and cold pressed oils will.

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae
has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing
alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a
feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally
formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil
again from algae!"
