Development Corporation Zhongshui Energy, planted the year 2004 13.500 acres of a tree that will be responsible for producing 15000 tonnes of biodiesel , this is the first harvest this tree and can be collected this summer.
This tree called jatropha , Barbados nut or nut seeds Physics gives a considerable size, these seeds after processing generate an oil that is used to make candles and soap, and from now, this company responsible for producing biodiesel from these seeds.
There are already planted more than 108,000 hectares of jatropha plants and the forecast is to increase this area up to 1.7 million hectares over a period of approximately ten years.
With this fact also is struggling against desertification that exists in this part of China.
Forecasts are for an increase in these plantations, which will mean an annual production of biodiesel extracted from jatropha 200,000 tons in 2010 and two million tons by 2020, according to Chinese state officials, an enormous growth of these plantations .
There are many areas in China where it would be possible to plant shrubs and oilseeds and the combat desertification and promote accelerated making biodiesel the economic benefit that this would in these regions. According to Jia Zhibang, head of AES (State Administration of Forestry), the surface that could be used for these plantations only 57 million hectares.
The forecasts predict that this new fuel will meet the emission standard Europe-IV according to tests conducted by laboratories Bosch, DaimlerChrysler AG, Royal Dutch Shell Group and Volkswagen.
Such action allows development areas currently suffering an alarming desertification and enable economic development also in addition to the study on environmental for new fuels and solutions for climate change .
