Benoline: A useful new bio-fuel




A mix of Ben oil produced by the drumstick trees and ethyl alcohol from molasses, corn or other sources appears to be a promising bio-fuel  for the future of mankind when it runs out of fossil fuels, for use in internal combustion engines. More research on Benoline is encouraged by researchers working on bio fuels.  It has been named Benoline by the author, feel free to use the term, just credit this blog please. More on the drumstick tree can be found here:


The best way to obtain Ben oil is from forestry plantations of drumstick that are very easy to develop on arid lands of the warmer parts of the planet. However in order to maintain bio-diversity and soil health such forests are best mixed with other food producing trees such as mulberry to the extent of about 33 percent. These forests would then not only yield bio fuel but also food. The potential of such plantations to improve environment and contribute to food supplies is the primary advantage and impetus of the present suggestion in contrast to several other possible bio fuels such as castor oil at a time when other studies are underway for ben oil extraction such as through the use of supercritical carbon dioxide.

The oil cake that remains after ben oil extraction appears to be a great animal feed because of its high protein content.
