Abstract:
Although farmers have benefited from the creation of transportation fuels from grain and oilseeds, little research has addressed single farm or community self-reliance on home-grown fuels.  The Peanut Biodiesel Project is designed to determine if peanut is suitable for just such a concept through field evaluations and a scale pilot refinery.
