Liquid vegetable oils make excellent vehicle fuels. Solid fats burn
well in diesel engines although fully heated fuel systems are required
to get fats to flow to the engine.
Always feels a bit of a waste using them in heaters or generators. No
doubt in some situations it makes sense.

Dear Friends
Is it environmentally advantageous to use vegetable oil directly as
biofuel instead of converting it to biodiesel?

A stove can use either. If it is a biodiesel or bioparaffin (very
similar) it will burn in a paraffin stove.
So far there are not many stoves that can operate on the raw oil.
Should there be more
