Benefits to Nepal: Vegetable Oil vs. Solid Fuels Heat of Combustion - Vegetable Oil: 40 k. J/g - Firewood: 20 k. J/g • Fumes given off by burning solid fuels indoors have negative health effects. • 64 % and 10 % of households in Nepal rely on wood and dung respectively as cooking fuels. • Vegetable oil from presses is superior to these fuels. http: //books. google. ca/books? id=Bg.

Benefits to Nepal: Agriculture Specific Benefits http: //travelospective. blogspot. ca/2011/07/sy mphony-of-jungle-chitwan-nepal. html • Meal, such as the soybean meal on the right, is a nutrient-rich feed supplement for livestock. • Effectively mitigate poor livestock nutrition and productivity that plagues Nepalese farmers. • Incorporating more oilseed crops into rotations will increase agrobiodiversity and soil health. • Limit soil degradation on Nepalese farms http: //www. worc. org/userfiles/file/Biodiesel%20 Benefits%20 Report. pdf http: //www. fao. org/ag/agp/AGPC/doc/Counprof/PDF%20 files/Nepal. pdf http: //www. doanepal. gov. np/downloadfile/Statusand.

Benefits to Canada • Four direct jobs at Energrow Incorporated in Listowel, Ontario • Supplementary manufacturing, machining, and distribution jobs • Increased choice of domesticallymanufactured oilseed presses for Canada’s own farmers as well as other individuals • Increased collaboration between Nepal and Canada http: //www. energrow. ca/ (N. Leja, personal communication, October 2, 2014)

Conclusion • Oilseed presses have great potential in Nepal. • Models available in Canada are too complex and too expensive though. • Simple, inexpensive designs are required for a greater effect to be seen. http: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Flag_of_Canada http: //states-world. com/state. php/2580
