Energy, Economic And Environmental Impact Of Palm Oil Biodiesel In Malaysia. Abstract: Malaysia is among the lushest places on Earth with nearly countless varieties of flora and fauna residing within it. An interesting one being the palm oil tree, a stereotypically tropical sight. A specific variety of it known as Elaeis, is used to extract palm oil from it. Apart from being a nutrient rich vegetable oil consumed by people as an edible, it is also used to a lesser degree for refinement into biodiesel for energy. A tree so abundant in Malaysia and has the potential to be a viable energy source is definitely something that needs a closer examination of on its potential. Which is what this study aims to do
