Biodiesel Production: Growing Fuel on Trees
Dec 10
Both the diesel oil tree and the fungus Gliocladium roseum can be used in biodiesel production eventually, it is just a matter of doing further research and waiting for the trees to grow big enough. Trees may play an essential role in the future of biodiesel production, and may have even more surprises in store. Biofuel production can help prevent global warming and pollution all over the world. Using sources like trees and tree fungus to create biodiesel has many benefits, including the fact that these sources are not used for food and so do not reduce the amount of food crops available to humans and livestock.
Another newly discovered source of biodiesel products that has been found is the mold Gliocladium roseum, which grows on some trees located in the Patagonia rainforest. This fungus produces carbons that create mid length chains under certain conditions, and these carbon chains are identical to many of those found in petroleum. This fungus shows great promise in biodiesel production, but needs more research before it can become a viable source of biofuel production. The petroleum products are only produced by the mold under very narrow and specific conditions, which means it must be studied to determine other ways to create myco-diesel, a biodiesel that comes from fungi.

September 7th, 2010 at 1:54 pmI m in Pakistan & looking for Bio deisel Tree, for my Country to produce Desiel fuel for vehicles.
May 28th, 2009 at 2:12 pmKindly forward details with Prices of Deisel Trees.
What environment is required ?
How much Time require to produce Deisel by a tree. What is the maximum height & Production Volume by a tree.
Provide more infor related to business & Marketing.

The tapping of the trees to gain the product to create the fuel is probably as green as we can get. This is something that requires more research and it is a better way to go when looking into biodiesel.
