Oil Tree
The term "Oil Tree" typically refers to the Jatropha curcas, a plant known for its seeds that can be processed to produce biodiesel. This drought-resistant shrub is often cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, making it a potential source of renewable energy. The oil extracted from its seeds can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels, contributing to sustainable energy solutions.
In addition to its energy potential, the Jatropha curcas is also valued for its ability to improve soil quality and prevent erosion. Its cultivation can provide economic benefits to farmers, as the seeds can be sold for oil production, creating a source of income while promoting environmental sustainability.
