Hawaii picks jatropha for biodiesel

USA: A project to develop jatropha as biodiesel feedstocks on the Big Island in Hawaii has won a US$677,000 grant from the U.S. federal government. Hawaii County Economic Opportunity, the non-profit organisation that was awarded the grant, will be exploring the cloning and mass production of jatropha plant seedlings to be marketed to commercial growers in the biodiesel industry.

The project aims to produce 3 million seedlings within three years and create 70 jobs for the local community. U.S. Senator for Hawaii, Daniel K. Akaka said the project is an important step forward for Hawaii to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and a self-sustaining energy future.''
