Abstract: |
Fossil fuels have long been the source of internal combustion engines energies. The rapid growth and increased demand for fossil fuel consumption, the increase in the price of petroleum products and the reduction of available reserves have doubled the efforts to find new sources of energy. On the other hand, the fossil fuels environmental pollutant emissions such as unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), nitrous oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuels is one of the major disadvantages and problems for the future of life. In order to preserve existing resources and reduce environmental pollution, it is obvious and necessary to turn to renewable energies and alternative fuels. Biodiesel is one of the renewable fuels and an outstanding option in this field. Oil Seeds are one of the sources of biodiesel. According to agricultural data and the results of conversion of agricultural fields in Ardabil city, 790.15 grams of biodiesel is extracted from each kilogram of rapeseed oil, and 1260 kilograms of biodiesel is extracted from it according to the performance of rapeseed. Each hectare of farm data was calculated to be 24.8 thousand liters of oil and fat waste from restaurants in the city, equivalent to 20 hectares of rapeseed land. Since the fuel consumption of tractors in Ardabil city reaches 28 million liters per year on average, waste biodiesel can only supply 0.1% of the city's diesel fuel. |
