Plant oil derivates as fuels [PDF]
Plant oil derivates as fuels The dependence of the Hungarian economy on energy imports has already reached that degree, which is forecast in the EU for the average of the community by 2020. The total quantity of the biomass in Hungary is 350 - 360 mtons, out of which 105 - 110 mtons reproduces itself annualy.

Research on the Extraction of Plant Volatile Oils
AbstractMicrowave-assisted extraction will probably be the main technique in the near future for industrial essential oil production. Two kinds of new methods for essential oil extracting were used in this paper: microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SC-CO2).
