Jatropha nuts

Jatropha nuts

Suwit Yotongyot displays jatropha nuts at his farm in Loei province in February 2007. The nuts are more than 30 percent oil, which burns with a clear flame, producing a fraction of the emissions of traditional diesel. Scientists say that could help produce biodiesel and ease Thailand's reliance on imported oil.(AFP/File/Pornchai Kittiwongsakul)
