From China to Brazil, countries have begun setting aside tens of thousands of acres for the cultivation of jatropha – a plant many experts say is the most promising source for biodiesel. At the same time, companies from Europe and India have begun buying up land throughout Africa to establish jatropha plantations.

The government-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) is planning to have 80,000 acres of jatropha in Sichuan Province alone by 2010.

Renova Biodiesel of Brazil is expected to plant 60,000 acres of jatropha, and reports suggest that other oil companies are considering planting nearly 500,000 acres in the next four years.

D1 Oils, a British company that is considered by many to be the leader in jatropha cultivation, has plantations from Swaziland to Indonesia, and hopes to nearly double its 385,000 acres of jatropha worldwide by the end of 2008.

The plant yields more than four times as much fuel per hectare as soybean, and more than ten times that of corn. A hectare of jatropha produces 1,892 liters of fuel

Niin ja toinen biodiesel "kuuma" nimi.

Etanoli on näillä näkymin jäämässä urheiluautojen polttoaineeksi sähköautoja odotellessa.

Mielenkiintoisia juttuja, jathropasta en ole lukenut aikaisemmin. Tuo leväpohjainen biodiesel on tullut vastaan useammassa paikassa.
Tuo 1892l/ha oli ilmeusesti se saatavan kasviöljyn määrä, eikä biodieselin määrä. Aika vaikuttava sato jokatapauksessa kun ottaa vielä huomioon, että kasvi viihtyy karussa maaperässä. Ihan rikkaruoho tuli mieleen kuvauksista.

leväpohjaset kasvit on kai yleisesti aika kovia kasvamaan paikassa ku paikassa.
