Vegetable oil refining Diesel from various refiners and feedstocks are reported to see lower emissions, reduced maintenance costs, and nearly identical experience when driving with this fuel. Vegetable oil refining Vegetable oil refining is a process to transform vegetable oil into biofuel by hydrocracking or hydrogenation.
