Determination of the Potential Biodiesel Volume of Soybean used as the First-Generation Biodiesel Feedstock in the United States
Determination of the Potential Biodiesel Volume of Soybean used as the First-Generation Biodiesel Feedstock in the United States
In the United States (U.S), biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, recycled restaurant oil, and waste oil. Soybean oil has been by far the most widely used feedstock for U.S biodiesel production, accounting for more than half of the nation's biodiesel feedstock. This study aimed to determine the potential biodiesel volume of the soybean plant, which is the most cultivated product as a first-generation biodiesel feedstock in the U.S. The potential biodiesel volume of the soybean plant, which was grown on an area of 30 352 150 hectares in the U.S in 2019, was calculated as 1 020 749 343 liters. Knowing the potential of oilseed plants used as feedstocks in first-generation biodiesel production will accelerate efforts to identify products that should be used in second-generation biodiesel production and expand their cultivation. Studies should be planned to remove the threat on the food sector by replacing the first-generation biodiesel production feedstocks, which are mainly used as oil feedstocks in the food sector, with the second-generation inedible oil feedstocks that are not used in the food sector.
