Mustard and sausages are a couple indestructible material. This dressing made from seeds of Brassica plants is inevitable in most hot dogs, hot dogs, according to the country we are. However, a group of Argentine scientists is to demonstrate that mustard also has other elements function utilities.
Experts from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) are testing the mustard seeds turn into an alternative fuel, without implying that the potential renewable energy source affecting the traditional production of grains. There are some varieties of mustard can be sown even in regions with harsh climate, which, at present, is not being used.
The researcher in the Faculty of Agronomy, UBA, Daniel Sorlin said was quoted by Invertia: “The fact that a very good land use for energy production instead of food is to the detriment of what the population will need future world. The idea is to make energy to marginal areas. ” Thus, Sorlin tried to evade the most common crisis that is being done on growing of biofuels.
The investigation of the UBA, made together three years ago with the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture in Spain, could result in the production of mustard biodiesel from 2011. Besides the benefits to the environment, this new production could be a big deal for Argentina, a country that has received $ 786 million between January and November 2008 through the export of biofuel.
According to Sorlin said NoticiasyProtagonistas.com, mustard seeds must first be converted into oil. The next step is to transform the oil into biodiesel production. Since then, opens a new field of possibilities for renewable energy.
