In this paper, the future role of renewable agricultural resources in providing fuel is discussed and the possible use of sunflower oil, soybean oil, and rapeseed oil as substitutes for diesel fuel.Abstract:
In this article, the future role of renewable agricultural resources in providing fuel is discussed. it was only during this century that U.S. farmers began to use petroleum as a fuel for tractors as opposed to forage crop as fuel for work animals. Now farmers may again turn to crops as fuel for agricultural production - the possible use of sunflower oil, soybean oil and rapeseed oil as substitutes for diesel fuel is discussed.read more
