Abstract:
Energy has a crucial role in the modern world. As a result of the negative environmental effects
of fossil fuels, the number of the studies on renewable and alternative energy sources is
increasing with each passing day. Diesel oil is one of the most frequently used environmentally
harmful energy sources and biodiesel is its renewable and clean alternative. This study
investigated whether the biodiesel derived from tobacco seeds that were collected from different
tobacco-farming regions of Turkey was in compliance with the standards. Accordingly, twentythree
different tobacco seed materials were collected and the quality parameters of the biodiesel
derived from these materials after extracting their oils were examined. The results showed that
the majority of the samples have comply with the standards. |
