Abstract

Factors such as increased energy demand, environmental pollution, energy security and ensuring energy sustainability have accelerated the search for alternative energy. The interest in renewable energy sources has increased with the decrease of oil, oil crises and the increase of environmental awareness. Biodiesel is an alternative energy source that is renewable with chemical methods from vegetable and animal oils. It does not cause CO₂ release and greenhouse effect compared to petro diesel. It is an environmentally friendly fuel. The tea seeds used in this study have been selected as an alternative from the idle tea seed for biodiesel production without harming the cooking oil stock in Turkey, which is an agricultural country where tea growing and tea consumption is increasing. Biodiesel production was investigated with the transesterification method, which is a method that reduces the production cost and viscosity of the oil obtained from tea seeds by using less chemicals to bring the idle tea seeds to the economy in Turkey and in the world.
