The depletion of fossil fuel in time impel industrial companies to emerge with a solution in order to prevent from the possibility of deficiency source of energy. Besides, the usage of fossil fuel increase the carbon dioxide emission especially in aviation industry and it is predicted that air traffic will increase in a decade or two. To prevent such catastrophe from occur, an alternative source of energy must be introduced in aviation industry especially to release the dependent to fossil fuel to produce kerosene. Palm kernel oil and coconut oil are found to have abundant of triglycerides chain type of lipids that are very important in the production of biokerosene to replace the current industrial kerosene type fuel. But, the production of biokerosene must comply with the international standard specification to ensure it can be commercialized and implemented for the betterment of humanity.
