    This document discusses candlenut oil as a potential feedstock for liquid biofuel production. It provides background on the growing interest in biofuels as an alternative to diesel due to concerns over depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution. Candlenut trees can grow in arid climates with low rainfall and produce seeds with 30-60% oil content, making candlenut oil a promising source for commercial biodiesel. Advantages of biodiesel include being renewable and producing fewer greenhouse gases than diesel, while limitations include higher NOx emissions and providing slightly less engine power than conventional diesel.

    'Candlenut oi: review on oil properties and future liquid biofuel prospects.', International

    AN INTRODUCTION TO BIOFUELS
    The fast depletion of diesel fuel, rise in energy demand, and
    environmental pollution concerns are causing an increase in global
    interest in the production of liquid biofuels. Biofuel (bio-aviation
    and biodiesel) is a possible and potential alternative to diesel fuel
    to help mitigate environmental impacts of future energy demands.

    Crop oil that is non-edible


    is said to be a potential
    feedstock to produce liquid
    biofuel considering the
    high demand for edible oil
    as a food source.

    The major limitation of


    using non-edible crop oil to
    produce biofuel is the high
    cost of feedstocks and the
    limited supply of extensive
    biodiesel production.

    CANDLENUT OIL
    Candlenut trees can grow arid and harsh climates because of their
    low moisture requirements. Therefore, candlenut can be grown in
    unused lands, for example in deserts riverbanks and other
    wastelands that are unsuitable for edible crops

    In addition, candlenut seeds have huge


    amount of oil (30%-60%). Therefore,
    candlenut oil is a very promising source
    for commercial biodiesel production.

    The tree can grow in soils with


    pH of 5-8 at 18 -28 Celsius
    degrees and rainfall of 6500-
    4000mm.

    ADVANTAGES OF BIODIESEL:
    Biodiesel is a renewable energy source, meaning that they can support a
    continuous supply chain.
    It is environmentally friendly energy source that emits fewer greenhouse
    gases compared to diesel.
    Biodiesel has a molecular structure that is highly biodegradable with
    minimal combustion toxicity.

    LIMITATIONS OF BIODIESEL:
    Produces higher NOX emissions than diesel fuel.
    Provides 5% less engine power and speed than diesel fuel
    It is degradable when stored over a long period.
