According to Bukidnon Rep. Juan Miguel Zubiri, tuba-tuba, whose scientific name is jathropa curcas, is a "fast-growing small tree whose fruit, actually a nut, can be processed into cooking or car fuel."

"Planting tuba-tuba can be a very profitable proposition," Zubiri, who is promoting the use of bio-fuels, said yesterday.

The appeal was made by Bukidnon Rep. Juan Miguel Zubiri, principal author of the measure that seeks to promote the use of ethanol, a product that can be extracted from sugar cane, coconut and cassava and which can be mixed with gasoline.

Zubiri said there is urgent need to lessen the country’s dependence on imported fuel since prices of crude and finished products have been continually rising.

The NREL report also stated that CME consistently yielded the same results as diesel fuel, but with more positive results.
