  • How to make biodiesel from sunflower seeds?
  • The oil extracted from seeds was applied for biodiesel production through transesterification using a 6:1 methanol to oil molar ratio with 0.7% catalyst at 50 °C for 65 min. The process resulted in a 96.2% biodiesel yield with a heating value of 41.6 MJ/kg, corresponding to 84 kg biodiesel per ton of sunflower crop and 108.8 L gasoline-equivalent.
  • How biodiesel is produced on pilot scale from sunflower oil?
  • In this study, an environmental analysis of biodiesel production on pilot scale from sunflower oil was performed. The life cycle of biodiesel production involves different stages: 1) agricultural phases; 2) oil extraction from seeds; 3) transesterification to obtain the biodiesel; 4) distribution and 5) waste management.
  • Can palm oil be used as biodiesel feedstock in Indonesia?
  • While Soegiantoro et al. (2019) used waste cooking oil and chicken fat as biodiesel feedstock, palm oil has not yet entered the commercialization stage for biodiesel production in Indonesia.
  • Which biodiesel feedstock is used in Indonesia?
  • From 2008¨C2016, the mandatory program for the transport sector only applied to the public service obligation (PSO). Under the program, the Government of Indonesia explored several kinds of biodiesel feedstock, including jatropha, crude palm oil (CPO), and used cooking oil (UCO) (EBTKE, 2019).
  • Can biofuels be produced in Indonesia?
  • Studies of the second and third-generation feedstock for biofuel production are interesting since Indonesia has abundant waste materials such as waste oil and agricultural biomass. Of course, there is also a need to perform comprehensive studies in terms of LCA and techno-economic analysis of palm and other feedstocks for biofuel production.
  • Who facilitates palm biodiesel development in Indonesia?
  • Several key institutions and governmental bodies which facilitate the palm biodiesel development in Indonesia include (1) the government represented by the MEMR, (2) Indonesian Oil Palm Estate Fund Agency (BPDPKS), (3) the biodiesel industry, and (4) Pertamina as the state-owned oil and gas company.
