Engineers and scientists believe that Jatropha oil, a very hardy shrub, you can get fuel. Moreover, the plant tends the soil, creates jobs and benefits countries with few resources.
"The seeds of Jatropha are shaped like a walnut, although a little smaller. When your outer shell, usually green, begins to make a yellowish hue, the seeds are ready for collection. When removing the shell, we find other three seeds. Each contains 40% oil, "says Professor Klaus Becker, who is dedicated to testing the strength of Jatropha in countries such as Egypt, India and Madagascar.
Source of "biodiesel" Jatropha has natural advantages over other biodiesel and practices so far producidos.Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: The Jatropha has natural advantages over other biodiesel and practices so far produced.
For two years, Becker works supported by the car manufacturer Daimler-Chrysler. Given oil prices, environmentalists are not the only ones interested in finding alternatives to oil.
"Fuel is still under development. But the Jatropha oil fuel that has now been produced in line with the qualities a must have fuel to run a modern diesel engines," said Stefan Keppeler, engineer in charge evaluation of fuel.
Jatropha oil would not be the first natural fuel used in Europe. Until now, scientists have extracted oil from other plants such as rapeseed, a kind of cabbage, which does not grow on any soil or under any circumstances. Thus, the advantage of Jatropha to rapeseed is its strength.
"Madagascar could b
e planted 10 to 20 million hectares if we were to put up a plant with a little cold. This would mean that seven years would be capable of producing all the fuel that Madagascar needs more shipments of fuel sufficient for export "Becker said. Also for Latin America Jatropha plantations are presented as a unique opportunity.
Resistant to all

The plant is so poisonous, that Becker does not even have to worry about predators protect its natural oil factory.
In desert places where it does not place a root or the weed, Jatropha can create, with its shrubs reaching six meters, authentic green forests. More than eight months of drought each year and temperatures around 40 degrees to the Jatropha wilt not, as we have seen Becker in Gujarat, India.
Soil erosion by wi
nd and water also hurts the Jatropha. Not only that, thanks to her, the eroded soil to be fertile again. "In Africa we find that the wind and water, along with particles of Jatropha, create layers of sediment is precious to 0.7 centimeters per year. With the passage of time eroded soils become unfit for cultivation", Becker said.
Extensions hitherto useless land could be cultivated, creating jobs and benefits to countries with few resources. Meanwhile, the Jatropha protects the soil from erosion and pound to heaven from gaseous pollutants. Have you could ask more of a plant?
In the times we live in is much talk of protecting the environment, we should be open minded to receive all the changes for us and especially to the place where we all live our planet is. Please take care of the planet sooner or later we'll regret. Thanks for reading
