  • What are the oil and meal extraction rates for sunflower & peanut oil mills?
  • The oil and meal extraction rates for sunflower and peanut oil mills are obtained using statistics on global oil seed crushing, and oil and meal production from the period 2010/11 to 2013/14 (USDA, 2014). The hull/shell contents are approximately 25% for sunflower seeds (Carre, 2009, p 17) and 15% for in-shell peanuts (Myer et al., 2009).
  • Are rapeseed oil and sunflower oil irrigated?
  • This may seem surprising because both rapeseed and sunflower are irrigated. However, the by-products of rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, i.e. the oil meals, displace soybean meal, barley, and palm oil.
  • Is rapeseed oil better than sunflower oil?
  • This revealed that rapeseed oil performed better than palm oil and soybean oil in 93% of the runs while it performed better than sunflower and peanut oil in more than 77% and 99% of the runs respectively. Palm oil (and soybean oil) performed better than peanut oil in 97% of the runs.
  • Are soybean oil and palm oil equal?
  • The results for soybean oil and palm oil are equal. This is because soybean oil is a dependent co-product, thus an extra demand for soybean oil does not affect the soybean oil production, but instead the production of palm oil.
  • What are the by-products of palm oil milling?
  • The by-products from the milling processes (e.g. empty fruit bunches from palm oil mills and oil meals) are utilised as fertilisers or feed and thereby substitute mineral fertiliser or feed energy (barley) and feed protein (soybean meal) on these respective markets (Schmidt and Weidema, 2008).
  • How many palm oil mills in Malaysia and Indonesia have biogas capture?
  • Based on MPOB (2014) and IPOB (2010) the total number of oil mills Malaysia and Indonesia are estimated as 1042. From RSPO (2013), it is estimated that 53 oil mills in Malaysia and Indonesia had biogas capture. Hence, it is roughly estimated that 5% of the produced palm oil mill effluent (POME) was treated with biogas capture around 2012.
