Biodiesel from Sunflower
– Sunflower Oil as Biofuel
Sunflower oil is being tested in quite a few places
worldwide for its biodiesel capability. While the chemical properties of the
oil lend themselves well for biodiesel manufacture, the high cost of
sunflower oil casts doubts on whether it can ever be a significant feedstock
for biodiesel production.
