Abstract In the present article, properties of vegetable oils which make them suitable, either totally or in part, for replacing C-diesel oil (which is the most widely used combustible for this purpose in Spain) in thermal energy production are studied. Vegetable oils, due to their agricultural origin, are able to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere as well as improve energetic crops.
