Brazil, Indonesia To Sign Ethanol Agreement
so much buzz around ethanol as an alternative fuel. As a result of this push toward ethanol production, we're seeing the higher prices of food such as cereal, drinks (fructose), etc.
I heard about this bush-like plant in Africa that is supposed produce oil.
Here is the direct quote from Washington University in St. Louis website.
"The plant is primarily used as a hedge because it is very hardy and inedible. Oil can be extracted from the plant's seeds and used for generating engines, cook stoves or lamps. Compared to the yield soybeans must generate to make ethanol, jatropha is a bargain. One hectare of jatropha can produce 1,800 liters of oil (or 190 gallons per acre). One hectare of soybean oil has a yield of only 446 liters."
