Energy Balance for Camelina under Turkish Conditions

Widespread of camelina culture in Turkey will provide an alternative oil crop to country. With camelina culture, cooking oil deficit of the country may be reduced, pulp production may be increased and the plant can also be used as biodiesel source. Thus, camelina will definitely be a significant crop for the country economy. Energy balances are significant indicators in assessment and comparison of production methods. In this study, energy balance of camelina, a new crop in Turkey, was investigated. Experimental results and calculations for a yield of 0.756 t ha-1 revealed the total energy input as 15 347.20 MJ ha-1, the total energy output as 77 390.73 MJ ha-1, energy efficiency as 5.04 and the Net Energy Ratio (NER) as 4.04.
