Abstract
Environmental pollution and the depletion of fossil fuels have created a growing interest in the world community for renewable energy. Large-scale production of liquid biofuels is supported by governments. Iran is a developing country that supplies its energy needs from fossil fuels. However, clean energy must be used to prevent environmental pollution and ensure food security. In this study, with a case study of Golestan province as one of the leading provinces in the field of agriculture, the existing capacities in this country have been studied. The results showed that 58,945.95 tons of biodiesel and 527.55 million liters of bioethanol can be produced annually in this province. By creating suitable grounds for the production of this fuel, solving technological problems and the support of the people and the government of this province, it is able to supply 2% of the fuel of the country’s gasoline engines. Also, the produced biodiesel can supply approximately 13% of the province’s diesel. Reports indicate that it has the largest share in the production of liquid biofuels in the agricultural waste sector.
