China Plans to Put Up Massive Jathropa Plantation
The Chinese are aiming at doing something tremendous. This month, the Chinese government revealed plans to put up a 13-million hectare jathropa plantation, capable of producing over 6 million liters of biodiesel per year! According to the state forest Administration, this plan is in recognition of the viability of biofuels and the need for a diversified energy base for Chinese transport. On top of the biodiesel produced from the nut of this particular tree, wood from the plantation will also be used to generate power as fuel for a 12 MW power plant facility also being designed within the plantation area.

When you are thinking of putting up a plantation the size of England, you are an ardent support of renewable energy solutions! Read more about this development here.
