Biokerosene from coconut and palm kernel oils: Production and properties of their blends with fossil kerosene

► Coconut and palm kernel oils have been converted to FAME with basic catalyst. ► The FAME's have been subjected to fractional distillation at vacuum. ► The low boiling point fractions have been blended with two fossil kerosenes. ► Fossil kerosenes: straight-run atmospheric distillation cut and commercial Jet A1. ► The essential specifications required by ASTM D1655 were tested in these blends.
