Planted Fuel

Have you ever wished our fuel will be free? If yes, you are 1 of the 98% of car owners around the world that having problem on our car's fuel consumption. Fuel consumption sometimes overtakes our budget on food for everyday living. Fuel consumption depends on engine size and engine displacement. However, how we drive our car also effects what our fuel consumption would be. If you are one of those people who drive like “street racers”, you definitely have higher fuel consumption. These kinds of drivers are driving in sudden brake and sudden acceleration mode.

Here in the Philippines, our government and its people are working on new reliable fuel alternatives or bio fuel. Philippines are importing 90% of its fuel overseas, and fuel cost increases almost every week. This oil price hike in the end of the line will cause major pain to the consumers. And dangerous oil fumes from petroleum or fossil fuels are damaging our environment.Alternative Fuels or Bio fuel will be the key for this problems.



JATROPHA CURCAS

Philippines because it vast land can now produce its own Bio fuel through planting. Yes through PLANTING, many plants here in Philippines can be a good source of bio fuel. Jatropha curcas or locally called tuba tuba in Luzon and Kasla in the visayas is one of those fuel alternatives plants. Jatropha is a 5-8 feet high wild fruit bearing tree with wide leaves. Its nut are used to produce Bio-diesel fuel and for soap productions. 3 kilos of Jatropha nuts can produce 1 liter of pure Jatropha Oil. Jatropha Oil is now in demand in other part of the world and many entrepreneurs distinguish the positive potential of this plant on the business point of view for Bio Fuel production. If you own a plantation of Jatropha curcas, you can start harvesting after 1-2 years from planting exactly 12 - 15 tons per hectares on the first harvest and it almost double its production every succeeding harvest until its 7th year of age. Jatropha nuts can be sold for P5 or $0.10 per Kg to Jatropha oil processing plant for Bio-diesel or Bio Fuel Production.



COCONUTS

Aside from Jatropha curcas, you can also produce Bio Fuel or bio-diesel from coconuts. Coconut was also a huge source for cooking oil production, virgin coco oil and Bio-diesel. Coconuts are known as a tree of life because of its general efficacy. With this tree alone you can build a house and have a food to eat for survival. Its juice from the nuts is also good remedy for Urinary tract Infection as most doctors advise. At this time, coconut oil is very in demand to the consumers. Coconut oils for Bio Fuel or Bio-diesel and cooking oil production are now its main function. To maximize the coconut oil usage, many chemists produce bio-diesel from a used cooking oil. Cooking oil will be purified and processed for bio-diesel productions. Bio-diesel or Bio Fuel compare to petroleum diesel are cleaner and less emission.
