Table of biofuel crop yields

Table of biofuel crop yields

The following table shows the vegetable oil yields of common energy crops associated with biodiesel production.It should be noted that this is unrelated to ethanol production which relies on starch, sugar and cellulose content - not oil yields.

- Note: Chinese Tallow ("Sapium sebiferum", or "Tradica sebifera") is also known as the "Popcorn Tree".
