Replacing fossil oil with fresh oil – with what and for what?
Industrial chemicals and materials are currently derived mainly from fossil-based raw materials, which are declining in availability, increasing in price and are a major source of undesirable greenhouse gas emissions. Plant oils have the potential to provide functionally equivalent, renewable and environmentally friendly replacements for these finite fossil-based raw materials, provided that th...
متن کاملReplacing fish oil with vegetable oils in salmon feed increases hepatic lipid accumulation and reduces insulin sensitivity in mice
Background: To ensure sustainable aquaculture, fish derived raw materials are replaced by vegetable ingredients. Fatty acidcomposition and contaminant status of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) are affected by the use of plant ingredientsand a spillover effect on consumers is thus expected. Here we aimed to compare the effects of intake of Atlantic salmon fedfish oil (FO) wit...
متن کاملEvaluation of plant biomass resources available for replacement of fossil oil
The potential of plants to replace fossil oil was evaluated by considering the scale of production required, the area of land needed and the types of plants available. High yielding crops (50 tonnes/ha) that have a high conversion efficiency (75%) would require a global land footprint of around 100 million ha to replace current (2008) oil consumption. Lower yielding or less convertible plants w...
متن کاملEnhancing plant seed oils for human nutrition.
The age of true designer plant oils has arrived. Using the tools of biotechnology, it is now possible to modify the fatty acid content of oilseed plants to change the relative abundance of individual fatty acids in seed oil for health purposes or to produce nutritional fatty acids not normally found in crop plants. Fats and oils are an essential part of the human diet, and as a species we consu...
متن کاملThe future of oil: unconventional fossil fuels.
Unconventional fossil hydrocarbons fall into two categories: resource plays and conversion-sourced hydrocarbons. Resource plays involve the production of accumulations of solid, liquid or gaseous hydro-carbons that have been generated over geological time from organic matter in source rocks. The character of these hydrocarbons may have been modified subsequently, especially in the case of solid...
