Review and prospects of Jatropha biodiesel industry in China
Yang, Cheng-Yuan; Fang, Zhen; Li, Bo; Long, Yun-feng - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 16 (2012) 4, pp. 2178-2190
Jatropha curcas L. is chosen as an ideal biodiesel crop in China because its seed kernel has high oil content (43–61%) and it does not compete with food. Its oil is non-edible, and the trees can resist drought and grow on barren and marginal lands without using arable land. This article...
