Test show that cashuel, oil extracted from cashew shells, lasts longer than ordinary oil by several minutes. It emits less fumes and lessens the usage of the almost non-renewable fossil fuel which is used for machines, cars, etc.
Based from research, cashew is highly flammable because of its acids. It is also proven that cashew shells can be used for igniting fire on materials and is ideal to use in cooking.
Cashew shells are also known to be abundant in Antipolo City because of its cashew nut industry. Cashew shells are crushed and heated to extract the oils from it and thus produce cashuel.
Cashuel already garnered an award from the Division Science Fair on Investigatory Project Making. Further studies are being conducted to maximize the use of cashuel and to test its possibility to run engines like petroleum products do.
