    CNSL & Cardanol – Renewable Feedstocks for Bio Green Fuels

    Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and Cardanol are sustainable, plant‑based phenolic derivatives used as feedstocks in biodiesel and biofuel production. They provide eco‑friendly alternatives to fossil fuels, supporting cleaner energy and reduced carbon emissions.

    Feedstock Families

    What We Supply

    Three feedstock families for renewable fuel producers - each leading directly to grades, specifications, documents, samples, and quotation support.

    Documentation & Compliance

    ISCC chain-of-custody, sustainability declarations, specification sheets, third-party inspection reports.

    Feedstock Sourcing Built Around Refinery Requirements

    Feedstock buying is a specification and compliance exercise, not a commodity click. We help refiners qualify material against FFA, moisture, impurities, unsaponifiables and sulphur limits, verify sustainability chain-of-custody, and secure repeatable volumes at the loading ports that suit their logistics.

    Product & Grade Matching

    We help buyers select suitable grades based on melting point, oil content, iodine value, SFC, FFA, peroxide value, hardness, texture, application, and end-use performance.

    Technical Documentation Support

    COA, SDS/MSDS, TDS, specification sheets, origin details, and compliance documents can be shared where applicable depending on product, grade, and source.

    Sourcing & Supply Flexibility

    We support sourcing from selected refineries and manufacturing partners across multiple origins, helping buyers compare product grades, packing formats, MOQ, and lead times.

    Sample, Trial & Logistics Coordination

    We support laboratory evaluation, sample dispatch, trial quantities, commercial shipment planning, export documentation, and international logistics coordination.

    Featured Feedstock

    Refinery-grade feedstock qualified against your specification

    Used Cooking Oil (UCO) – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Used Cooking Oil (UCO)

    Used cooking oil is the highest-value waste feedstock in the biofuel market, qualifying under RED II Annex IX for double counting. Frying degrades it, so free fatty acid, polymer content and moisture are confirmed per source.

    Biodiesel (FAME) after esterification pretreatmentHVO / renewable diesel feedstock
    Soapstock Acid Oil – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Soapstock Acid Oil

    Soapstock acid oil is the generic acidulated refinery residue, made from whatever oils a refinery was processing. It is the cheapest fatty feedstock available and the most variable, so it is always bought against a lot analysis.

    Biodiesel after acid esterification or glycerolysisHVO feed after pretreatment
    Soybean Acid Oil – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Soybean Acid Oil

    Soybean acid oil is the acidulated soapstock from soybean refining. It is the cheapest route to a soybean-derived ester, but its high polyunsaturate content gives the resulting fuel poor oxidation stability.

    Biodiesel after acid esterificationHVO feed after degumming and bleaching
    Rapeseed Acid Oil – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Rapeseed Acid Oil

    Rapeseed acid oil is recovered by acidulating the soapstock from rapeseed oil refining. As a residue stream it qualifies as waste-based feedstock, and its high free fatty acid content routes it to acid esterification rather than the alkali process.

    Biodiesel after acid esterificationWinter-grade FAME blending for cold-flow performance
    Sunflower Acid Oil – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Sunflower Acid Oil

    Sunflower acid oil is the acidulated soapstock from sunflower oil refining. It is generally paler and lower in phosphatides than soybean or rapeseed acid oil, which makes it marginally cleaner to process.

    Biodiesel after acid esterificationHVO feed after pretreatment and filtration
    Palm Methyl Ester – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Palm Methyl Ester

    Palm methyl ester is finished biodiesel, produced by transesterifying palm oil with methanol. It offers one of the highest cetane numbers and best oxidation stabilities of any FAME, with cold-flow behaviour as its limiting property.

    Biodiesel blendstockRenewable diesel component
    Ethanol – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Ethanol

    Fuel ethanol is produced by fermenting sugar or starch crops and is blended into gasoline at 5 to 85 percent. It raises octane and adds oxygen to the fuel, but its affinity for water sets the rules for how it must be handled.

    Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL)

    Cashew nut shell liquid is a renewable phenolic oil from cashew processing, not a triglyceride. It cannot be transesterified like a vegetable oil, and is used instead as a bio-based fuel oil, blend component and chemical feedstock.

    Decarboxylated Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (DCNSL) – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Decarboxylated Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (DCNSL)

    DCNSL is cashew nut shell liquid heat-treated so its anacardic acid converts to cardanol and releases carbon dioxide. Removing that unstable acid group gives a lower-acidity, thermally stable renewable liquid for fuel and resin use.

    Biodiesel productionRenewable diesel feedstock
    Cardanol (Bio‑Based Phenol) – renewable feedstock product from Bio Green Fuels

    Cardanol (Bio‑Based Phenol)

    Cardanol (CAS 37330-39-5) is the distilled phenolic fraction of cashew nut shell liquid. In fuel applications it is a renewable blend component and additive base rather than a biodiesel feedstock, since it carries no glyceride to transesterify.
