Turkey is interested in developing its biofuel sector, to improve its security of energy supply. Currently Turkey is importing most of its energy needs. About 50 percent of oil is used for transportation. Biodiesel has been produced chiefly from imported oilseeds. However, the quantities of locally produced rapeseed and, to a lesser extent, safflower have increased strongly in the last few years.
