Biodiesel from Milk Bush Oil – Milk Bush, Pencil Bush Oil as Biofuel

 

 Milk Bush/Pencil Bush (Euphorbia tirucalli) as Biodiesel

 

The Pencil Bush shrub can grow in arid as well as more mesophytic zones. A large shrub, Euphorbia tirucalli, is used

as a hedge in Brazil. The ability of these plants to grow well in dry regions and on land that are not suitable for growing

food, and the fact that the oil yield from an acre could be comparable to or better than many other biodiesel candidates (

an estimate of oil yield for milk bush/pencil bush is between 10 and 50 barrels of oil per acre, ie., between 25 and 125

barrels per hectare )
