Thanks to technology genetically modified plants which cause health problems for humans can become source of biofuel for engines
According to the AP, Professor Vyacheslav Andrianov, a biotechnology expert at the University of Thomas Jefferson, United States of America confirmed the tobacco is "energy plant" because it can generate oil and sugar with large volume than any other crop. He and Associates noticed, if gene transformation of tobacco plant, the amount of oil that it produces will increase by 20%. One can use the sugar and oil of tobacco plants to produce bio-oil, gasoline.
"Almost cigarettes are potentials source of biomass. I know the tobacco farms are to take in the past year. So this may be the opportunity for farmers to plant tobacco, "Matt Hartwig, spokesman for the Association of alternative fuels, said.
To up to 5 years the cultivation of genetically modified tobacco plant gene to produce new biofuel could become a reality, but the tobacco farms are proved of interest to their opportunities, Andrianov Professor asserts.
About science believes that the production of biofuels from tobacco will not threaten food security-things that concerns for soybeans, corn, cassava and many other food crops. People also don't burn tobacco to provide fuel for motor vehicles. Instead, experts will only extract the sugars and oils from the leaves of the tree.
According to statistics of the food and Agricultural Organiz of the United Nations, the cigarette production has fallen to about 1.5 percent worldwide over the past 10 years. In the u.s. alone yields rising to 39% in the same period because the Government encouraged farmers to switch to other crops. There are many reasons why tobacco output rising-as demand for cigarettes falling, concerns about health, smoking bans in public places in many countries and the objections of social public opinion with regard to smoking behavior.
