  • How much energy does 1 ton of sunflower oil consume?
  • Energy results reveal that 1 ton of sunflower oil consumes and produces about 180,354 and 39,400 MJ energy, respectively. About 86% of total energy consumption belongs to agricultural phase and electricity with 32%, has the highest share of total energy consumption.
  • How much energy is used in sunflower production?
  • Results revealed that the whole energy consumption and generated energy in producing processes of 1TSO were 180354.02 and 39,400 MJ, respectively. In addition, results of standard deviation showed that the scattering rate of energy use pattern for sunflower production has a logical amount (between 10 and 40% of average).
  • How to produce sunflower oil in a farming system?
  • The first section is the production of sunflower in the farming system that includes all operations, including preparing farms by tillage, planting, controlling diseases and weeds, and harvesting. In other words, all energy inputs entered as LCI in agricultural phase. The next section is extracting sunflower oil by cold press method.
  • Can solar energy save fossil resources in agri-food sector?
  • A major part of subsidy paid to producers of sunflower oil is related to the electricity price. Although supporting sunflower farmers is vital, inappropriate allocation of its resources can have destructive effects on agri-food sector. Supplying electricity energy by solar systems is an applicable solution for saving fossil resources.
