  • Can sunflower oil be used for biofuel production?
  • The residues of the sunflower crop are inexpensive and widely available substrates. These waste streams are typically burned or even left unused, creating serious environmental issues. In the present study, sunflower oil and its residues are used for biofuel production in the biorefinery framework.
  • How to produce methane from pretreated sunflower head and stalk?
  • Production of methane from pretreated sunflower head and stalk by NaOH at moderate conditions (24 h, 55 °C, and 4 wt% based on total solids) and in batch mode showed an increase in their production yields, and the highest methane yield was obtained from pretreated head (268.35 mL CH 4 g ?1 volatile solids) [ 14 ].
  • 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 much oil is in sunflower seeds?
  • Sunflower seeds contain about 39¨C49% oil [ 9 ]. In the year 2018/2019, the production of oilseed sunflower crops in the world amounted to 51.46 Mt [ 28 ], and the global cultivated area of sunflower during 2018 was 26.7 M ha [ 29 ].
