Methyl Esters (FAME) (fatty acid methyl esters, biodiesel)
Palm's route into the fuel tank
Oleochemicals & industrial derivatives
Product Overview
Fatty acid methyl esters are produced by transesterifying palm oil or its fractions with methanol, releasing glycerine as a co-product. As biodiesel they underpin Southeast Asian blending mandates such as Indonesia's B40 (advancing to B50 in 2026) and Malaysia's blend, and they also serve as a cleaner-profile oleochemical intermediate.
Applications & Uses
Biodiesel feedstock and blendstock, precursor for fatty alcohols and methyl ester sulphonates, green solvents, agrochemical carriers.
