Biodiesel production in Ethiopia: Current status and future prospects
Non-edible oil sources with low agronomic requirements, a short plant cycle, high oil content, and cheap cultivation and harvesting costs are favored for biodiesel production. Some of the main feedstocks available in Ethiopia for biodiesel production include jatropha, castor bean, palm oil, croton macrostachyus, Moringa stenopetala, neem (margosa), sugarcane, animal fat, waste cooking oil,
The analysis on chemical composition revealed that the castor oil bast [COB] fiber is composed of 64.5–67.3% cellulose, 16.4–21.5% hemicellulose, 15.8–17.2% lignin, 0.3–0.9% extractive with 4.9–5.3% ash content. FTIR spectra of the extracted fibers also confirmed the presence of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and extractives.

I. SUMMARY. This profile envisages the establishment of a castor bean farm & a plant for the production of Castor Oil with a capacity of 270 tonnes per annum. The present demand for the proposed product is estimated at 1,000 tonnes per annum. The demand is expected to reach at 1.34 thousand tonnes by the year 2010.
Castor oil plant is a fast-growing, branching perennial shrub or occasionally a soft wooded small tree that growing to 3 m high and occasionally higher. In the first year it may reach 12 m in height [27]. Fig. 1 shows pictures of the castor oil plant and its seeds

dimensional characteristics of the fiber showed that the extracted fiber has a diameter of 14.2–30.8 lm and fineness of 4.5–13.5 tex with fiber length ranging from 1.3 to 10 cm; the moisture content and moisture regain of the fiber are 7.0–9% and 8.1–10% respectively.

In the production of vegetable oils, including those from castor-oil seeds, uses the methods of oil’s extraction by pressing or extraction. The solvents used for oil’s extraction by the extraction method do not meet all the requirements during using the...
In this study, Ethiopian castor seeds were collected from a local market and studied for their oil yield and physicochemical characteristics including fatty acid composition. Their oil was extracted using mechanical method and using hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol solvents and its physicochemical properties were studied. It was done by varying solid-to-solvent ratio (1:9, 1:12 and 1:15
