Biofuels
Biofuels are products of plants and animals
which have undergone a series of processes
such as esterification
esterification,, distillation and mixed
with petroleum fuel to reduce nitrogen oxides,
sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and
particulates emitted by motor vehicles,
machinery, etc.

•Leaves are large, greenish, angular, 3 or 5-lobed and 10-18
cm long. The apex are pointed while the base is heart-shaped
with a long petiole.

Flowers
A soft, woody shrub with a
smooth gray bark which exudes
a whitish colored watery sap
when cut
•The flowers are greenish white.
Known Uses (Medicinal)
The sap, oil twig,
wood, and leaves
are all useful in
healing wounds,
bleeding,
rheumatism and
skin diseases.

PRODUCTION / Tree / harvest
3 kilos for the 1st 2 years
4 kilos more for the 3rd to 50th year
Number of harvest per year = 2 croppings
Expected price per kilo = P10 to P15/kilo
Therefore:
2500 trees x 3 kilos = 7,500 kilos/harvest
7500 kilos x 2 cropping/yr = 15,000 kilos/yr
Expected Gross Income /Ha./Yr.
15,000 kilos x P15/kilo = P225,000/ha/yr

An investment you cannot afford to miss.
Invest in the future.
Each year, we import 94 percent of all our
crude oil needs. The Department of Energy
reports that the country’
country’s net oil import bill
swelled to US$4.570 billion in the year 2004.
Meanwhile, our oil consumption is projected
to rise by more than 10 percent in the next
decade. We are indeed at the mercy of
constant world price hikes.
“Biofuels are not only alternatives,
but imperatives for the country’
country’s
energy requirements as well as
environmental and economic
concerns””.
