Marhay na hapot yan Francis, pero arog kan sinabi ko kan mga enot na forums, ining BIOFUELS na tanom, an lead agency kaini tabi iyo an Dept. of Energy(DoE). Bale ang DA technical support lang ang itatao. Su mga planting materials kaini DoE an may aram pati an market kaini. Siguro an marhay na guibohon mo, magduman ka sa upisina ninda dyan sa Bicol duman ka kumuha ki mga impormasyon manungod kaini. Su mga tips kan jathropa na nailaag ko digdi, kinuha ko sa sainda. Kung pwede pa tabi, bisitahon mo su upisina kan DA-RFU V dyan sa Pili, Cam. Sur ta igwa man ki naka assign duman na nag tataong impormasyon manungod kaining Biofuels. Salamat ki dakulaon…

JATROPHA

Jatropha grows throughout the country and is known as tubang-bakod in some parts of the country. It is mainly used as a living fence, protecting farmlands from free ranging cattle and other livestock. It thrives even with little water, can be grown quickly even in adverse land conditions. It has a productive age of 35 to 50 years and can start yielding fruits and seeds on the 10th month of its planting. The dry seed of Jatropha contains more than 30% of its weight in oil .

The process of transforming crude jatropha oil into a viable diesel product is fairly simple.
