Experimental biodiesel production in Eastern Macedonia on contaminated agricultural soil

The objectives of this project are to contribute towards cleaner environment, better human health and local economic development, through experimental production of biodiesel on farmland contaminated with heavy metals. This Project is experimental production of biodiesel from crops grown on the agricultural land contaminated with heavy metals. This would achieve multiple effects: 1) soil decontamination by the method of phytoextraction; 2) protection of human health by preventing consumption of contaminated food; 3) effective utilization of the agricultural produce, that is otherwise unusable for human and livestock consumption and 4) increasing the local economic development by contributing in the farmers’ budget with biodiesel that can be used instead of petrodiesel for the agricultural equipment.
