The study provides a comprehensive overview of the use of rapeseed in renewable energy. Rapeseed is highly adaptable and has a high oil content, making it an important raw material for biodiesel production. In Europe in particular, rapeseed has become a valuable energy crop. The study covers the characteristics of rapeseed cultivation, the extraction and processing of oil, and the performance of rapeseed byproducts (such as rapeseed cake and straw) in different energy fields. These byproducts can be used to produce biofuels, heat and electricity in many ways. The study also introduces the use of artificial intelligence and geographic information systems. These technologies can help predict rapeseed yields and energy output. The results show that if rapeseed is grown on currently unused arable land, the yield of renewable energy is expected to increase significantly. In terms of energy utilization technology, the study mentions several methods, such as pyrolysis, pelleting and biochar production. These technologies can make the use of rapeseed biomass more efficient and reduce pollutant emissions. There are many benefits to using rapeseed biomass. Not only can it reduce dependence on traditional energy sources such as oil, but it also has a positive effect on sustainable agricultural development and environmental protection.
