  • Does rapeseed produce biodiesel?
  • A case study for Denmark compared rapeseed-based biodiesel production with four other vegetable oils such as sunflower, palm, soybean, and peanut ( Schmidt, 2015 ). The biodiesels derived from rapeseed and sunflower oils had the smallest environmental impact.
  • How much moisture does rapeseed contain before oil extraction?
  • The harvested rapeseed generally contained 12 wt.% moisture ( NHA, 2016 ), which was required to be reduced to 7.5¨C9 wt.% prior to the oil extraction process ( HGCA, 2006 ). For both large- and small-scale production systems an on-site seed drying process was assumed prior to the respective oil extraction processes.
  • Is rapeseed oil-based biodiesel production a life cycle assessment?
  • Life cycle assessment of rapeseed oil-based biodiesel (BD) production was presented. Influences of process operating conditions and production scales were investigated. The systems had GWP of 2.63 (large-scale) and 2.88 (small-scale) tCO 2 -eq/tBD. Rapeseed agriculture stage caused more than 65% of the CO 2 emissions.
  • How much oil is available in rapeseed?
  • Based on the rapeseed yield (see Section 2.2.1) of 3 t/ha a maximum of 286.8 t rapeseed yield was estimated, relevant for reactor sizing. Typically, 40 wt.% oil was available within the rapeseed ( Malça et al., 2014 ). However, the cold press technique considered here was only capable the seed to an oil content of 10 wt.%.
  • How much land is used to grow oilseed rape in the UK?
  • There was approximately 331 ha of land used to grow oilseed rape in the UK ( DEFRA, 2020b ), which as of 2020 had an average yield of 2.7 t/ha ( DEFRA, 2020a ). Due to the opportunities of its cultivation strictly for biodiesel production, oilseed rape and raw RO have experienced significant attention in recent years.
  • How many jobs will Saudi Arabia's new chemical plant create?
  • The new facility ¡ª expected to be operational by the end of 2020 ¡ª will be the first specialty oil field chemicals manufacturing reaction plant in Saudi Arabia, and will initially create approximately 100 jobs.
