BIO DIESEL FROM THE GAMBIA
Pierre, a dedicated man commited to reducing poverty in the Gambia has embarked on a new project with fellow colleagues to help people make a living. The belgium organisation recently launched a website to present their new efforts for The Gambia.
They Buy Jatropha curcas (Tabanani in Wolof, Baganaa in Mandinka, Kiidi in Fula)is a widespread plant in Gambia as in most tropical countries; it is often used as a live fence, and its leaves are used to treat certain skin ailments. The hedgerows protect agricultural soils against erosion, and it is inedible to animals. The oil from the seeds can be used to make soap, and also as fuel for diesel engines.
Jatropha is a tree, growing in the Gambia bush. The seeds contain oil that can be used as fuel: about 1/3 of the weight of the seeds is oil !
