Popis: Selection criteria for potential energy crops for biodiesel application include chemical structure and quality parameters of the oil and factors related to genotype, ecology, cultivation, maturation, oil extraction performance, etc., of the plant species. Target compositions should ensure desirable cold flow, ignition, oxidative stability and emission characteristics of biodiesel. The agronomic challenge is to create such affordable oils, preferably complying with food applications and creating value across the food and fuel chains. New feedstock opportunities vary significantly as to their potential impact in the market in terms of volume and timing to commercialisation. A limited number of developments will add to the global feedstock supply for biodiesel.
