| Abstract | ||||
| The study aimed at measuring the economic and environmental revenue for the expansion of the production of non-edible vegetable oils for the purpose of producing biofuels. Research and studies are in Egypt to produce bio-fuel as an alternative to diesel and gasoline but have not yet been produced for commercial purposes. Energy is a key element for economic development, however, the traditional form of energy is fossil fuel energy. There are several reasons to search for alternative sources of traditional energy: (Economic objective); concern about climate change (environmental goal); low cost of renewable energies (economic target), and support for agricultural producers (agricultural and economic objective). As a result of many reasons, the most important of which is the expected oil depletion by the end of the 21st century, the rise in oil prices and the negative effects of toxic emissions from fossil fuels on the environment and climate. Therefore, it was necessary to search for alternative renewable sources such as solar, wind and bioenergy. The production of biofuels is related to the agricultural sector. In order to benefit from the enormous potential that it enjoys in terms of abundance of untapped desert lands and desolate land and water resources for the production of biofuel as a source of renewable energy has been studying the energy crops suitable for the production of biofuel Three plants were selected to be suitable for agriculture in the Egyptian environment and suitable for agriculture in desert and desert lands and sewage water. This is because there is no conflict between food and energy. The environmental impact of energy crops and the effect of biofuel production on energy crops on both land use change, On water, on agricultural soils, on biological diversity, study of the economic impact and production costs of biofuels (biogasoline and biodiesel) in the two ways of cracking and the method of extraction from the cost of growing energy crops until the stage of obtaining biogasoline and biodiesel. The study reached several results: Biofuel production is not a priority for the government and the government must establish a sound legislative framework and strict procedures to support its production in a sustainable manner. Egypt has abundant sources of bio-fuel production represented in land, water, labor and qualified cadres. Lack of accurate data on the assessment of the agricultural, environmental, social and economic impacts of bio-fuels produced from both Jojoba, Jatropha and Al-Kharoua. There are no success stories on the production of bio-fuels from the non edible vegetable oils of Jojoba, Jatropha and castor plants. Therefore, the government should interact with stakeholders and companies to disseminate the right information to make good decisions. | ||||
