2023
Premović, Tamara
The energy needs of the ever-increasing number of inhabitants on Earth cannot be met by the existing reserves of fossil fuels, which are very depleted today. Therefore, it is necessary to look for alternative sources of energy and ensure a sustainable supply of energy sources, the production and application of which is adequate from a technical-technological and economic point of view, and which also meets the increasingly strict requirements regarding the preservation of the environment. Vegetable oils have significant energy potential, and in recent decades more and more research has been conducted on the possibilities of using vegetable oils as fuel. Sunflower seed oil is primarily used in the food industry, cooking and catering, but its application is also significant for technical purposes. Europe is the world leader in the production and application of sunflower seed oil, which has a long and successful tradition of production and application both in our region and throughout the world, therefore, by applying scientific methods, an analysis of the possibility of applying this very important industrial product as fuel was carried out, from initial research into the possibility of its use for these purposes, to the possibility of its application in modern society, the results of which are presented in this scientific paper.
