Biodiesel Plants Banned in Western Australian
SYDNEY - May 31/06 - SNS -- Two plants which have been widely promoted on the internet as being a good course of biodiesel oil have been banned by the Department of Agriculture and Food in the state of Western Australia.
Bellyache bush (Jatropha gossypilfolia) and physic nut (Jatropha curcasa) were already on the Declared List, but their status has now been upgraded to ensure a state-wide ban. Both plants are closely related to castor oil bush, and similar in appearance.
