Abstract


Increase in the environmental problems nowadays is a generally accepted, indisputable reality. The main environmental problems in our country, and likewise around the world, include air pollution, water pollution, pollution being caused by pesticides, and noise pollution. However, all these problems work against the currently possessed natural resources, in other words, they cause a totally adverse impact, by which the natural resources are diminished both quantitatively, and qualitatively as well. That is why, permanent and effective solution(s) should be adopted from the point of the sustainability of the gradually diminishing natural resources. Phytogenetic bio-fuels have begun to be produced and used within this context, so as to reduce environmental pollution in particular. Thus, it is also known that, energy needs escalate in parallel with the technological advancements around the world, and in order to meet the aforesaid energy needs, alternative energy resources, such as bio-fuel, have increasingly become preferred, and utilized. While the production of Biodiesel, which is known as eco-friendly fuel, is assessed herein agriculturally from the point of view of the use of suitable field plants, comments on the issue will be delivered herein as well.
