Biodiesel production—current state of the art and challenges

  • How would biodiesel be produced in South Africa?
  • Also seen from the results is that biodiesel would mainly be produced from sunflower seeds and soybeans on a large scale. Canola and possibly even other oilseeds would only make up a small fraction of the total feedstock required for the biodiesel production in South Africa.
  • How to produce biodiesel from crude vegetable oil?
  • When it does become financially feasible to produce biodiesel from crude vegetable oil, it can be done by either a SEBP plant or a COBP plant. Details and costs of these two types of production plants have been discussed in this section and are summarized in Table 27. Uses oilseeds for the production of biodiesel.
  • What are the different types of biodiesel plants in South Africa?
  • The previous section mentions two different types of biodiesel plants, SEBP and COBP, which can be used for biodiesel production in South Africa. The SEBP plant uses oilseeds while the COBP uses crude vegetable oil as feedstock.
  • Which seeds are suitable for biodiesel production in South Africa?
  • Sunflower seeds show a decent oil yield per hectare and are currently the main oilseed produced in South Africa which makes it the primary candidate for commercial biodiesel production. Soybeans have a lower oil yield per hectare but are also produced on large enough scale to be considered for biodiesel production.
