The goal of this one-year project was to assess the potential production and processing of oil seed and sugar-containing crops for use as a renewable energy source on a scale that would support
The pressure crushes the seeds, releasing the oil. One ton of sunflower seed is 38 percent oil and 62 percent meal when processed, Callahan said. Penn State and the University of
