CNSL- A biofuel that is renewable and biodegradable

Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is a biofuel that is renewable and biodegradable and has similar properties of petro-diesel fuel.
CNSL has the potential to be used as an alternative to diesel fuel in compression ignition engines, and thereby mitigate challenges associated with high dependences on imported petroleum and environmental impact that is due to the emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.
CNSL has a similar quality and heat content to Light Fuel Oil (LFO). Both the CNSL and Cashew Nut shell cake are used as biomass fuels for clean power generation.
