Evaluation of alkyl esters from Camelina sativa oil as biodiesel and as blend components in ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel☆

Evaluation of morphology, productive potential and oil content and composition of plant genetic resources of Camelina sativa

“…The analysis of fatty acid composition of evaluated Camelina sativa accessions differs from the reported results for other researches (Moser andVaughn, 2010, Putnam, 1993). Camelina oil is characterized by high content of unsaturated fatty acids (about 80 percent) but still lower than the reported 90 percent from Zubr (1997).…”

Characteristics of vegetable oils for use as fuel in stationary diesel engines—Towards specifications for a standard in West Africa

“…Vegetable oil sulphur content is generally close to zero and lower in any event than that of diesel fuels (≤100 ppm) [28,100]. While the specifications for light diesel are fixed at around 10-15 ppm in Europe [101], this limit is much higher in other countries and reaches 500 ppm in India [28], 5,000 ppm in the USA and 10,000 ppm in Burkina Faso. The sulphur content specifications for heavier fuel oils are even higher (30,000 ppm in Burkina Faso) (see Table 2).…”

Growth and Yield Response of Camelina Sativa to inorganic Fertilizers and Farmyard Manure in Hot Semi-Arid Climate of India

“…Camelina is favoured as an alternative feedstock for biodiesel production due to its low cost in comparison to commodity oils [5]. Moreover, the fuel properties including cold flow properties, oxidative stability, kinematic viscosity and cetane number of biodiesel made from camelina are similar to those of the soybeanbased biodiesel [6] and canola [3]. Recently, camelina oil-based jet fuel has been developed and test flights of different passenger aircrafts as well as fighter jets have been successfully conducted [5].…”
