Eucalyptus — a potential fuel source

    




A group of international researchers came to the conclusion that the eucalyptus can provide a stable source for production of biomass. He constantly absorbs and stores carbon dioxide in their trunks.

One of the main objectives for achieving a sustainable energy future is our understanding of the molecular basis of high growth and adaptation in woody plants suitable for biomass production, says Zander Myburg, the study's lead author from the University of Pretoria in South Africa.

A group of researchers has identified genes encoding 18 final enzymatic stages for the production of cellulose and hemicelluloses of the xylan cell wall carbohydrates that can be used for biofuel production.
