Furthermore, according to industry executives, the worldwide castor oil market is growing: The global castor oil market was $ 1180 million in 2018 and is expected to reach $ 1470 million by the end of 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8 percent between 2019 and 2025, according to international reports [ 7 ].
Environmental and Economic Assessment of Castor Oil
Among the species currently cultivated for industrial vegetable oil production, castor could be a good candidate for future investments due to the good resistance to pests, tolerance
The effects of plant growth substances on the oil content
According to 2019 FAO data, from all over the world, castor seed oil was harvested from an area of 1.158.609 hectares and the total production was 1.407.588 metric tonnes. The major castor bean-producing countries were India, Mozambique, China, Brazil, Myanmar, and Ethiopia [ 23 ].
GHG emission analysis and energy conversion in castor
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method was used to determine the input, output and environmental impacts of castor oil production. The result is, that the needs for a ton of
Castor oil as a potential renewable resource for the
Castor oil is increasingly becoming an important bio-based raw material for industrial applications. The oil is non-edible and can be extracted from castor seeds from the castor plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. The oil is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid esters linked to a glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl group, a double bond, carboxylic group and a long chain
