Investigation of fuel properties of biodiesel produced from hemp seed oil

Investigation of fuel properties of biodiesel produced from hemp seed oil

Scientists continue to work in order to obtain clean and efficient energy in a sustainable and economical way. Biodiesel is an important research topic not only because it is a renewable energy source, but also because it is an environmentally friendly fuel that can be produced as efficiently as petroleum-derived fuels. The raw materials used are as important as the production parameters in the production of biodiesel fuels. Hemp is not a widely cultivated plant because its cultivation is subject to government control. However, by breeding, the production of species containing low amount of stimulant and high amount of seed and fiber can be realized. In case of an efficient fuel production in compliance with the determined standards, the hemp plant can be accepted as a raw material that can also be evaluated in the field of energy. In order to guide the studies to be carried out for this purpose, in this study, the conformity of the fuel obtained by producing biodiesel from hemp seed oil to the standards was examined. As a result of the fuel analysis, it has been seen that the fuel properties of the produced hemp biodiesel are largely compatible with the TS EN 14214 standards. The results obtained provided a sufficient starting point for the development of the study.
