  6. Motivation behind Biofuels • Rural Development • Creates jobs in feedstock production • Biofuel manufacture • Transport and distribution of feedstock and products • Reduction in harmful pollutants from vehicle exhaust • Biodiesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter • Ethanol has great air quality benefits • Net reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions Source: Potential for Biofuels for Transport in Developing Countries, 2006

  7. Why Tuba-Tuba? • Jatropha grows throughout the country • Also known as tubang-bakod in some parts of the country • mainly used as a living fence, protecting farmlands from free ranging cattle and other livestock • It thrives even with little water, can be grown quickly even in adverse land conditions and can produce seeds within a year of planting

  8. Why Tuba-Tuba? • It has a productive age of 35 to 50 years and can start yielding fruits and seeds on the 10th month. • The dry seed of Jatropha contains more than 30% of its weight in oil
