GM PARTNERS WITH DOE TO DEVELOP JATROPHA BIODIESEL PROJECT IN INDIA

摘要

General Motors Corporation (GM) has formed a five-year partnership with the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) to develop the potential of the jatropha plant as a sustainable biofuel energy crop. The drought resistant, non-edible plant can be grown commercially with minimal care on marginal land. Traditionally considered a weed, jatropha plants produce an oil that can be refined into biodiesel.
