Biodiesel Production from Legume Tree
The discovery of a hormone that controls how plants form branches and the use of a legume tree in biodiesel production are just two of the major scientific breakthroughs to come out of UQ's ARC Centre of Excellence in Integrative Legume Research (CILR) this year. The Centre, primarily through work at the UQ Node, achieved a number of successes in its biofuel program focussing on the legume tree Pongamia pinnata.In the case of carbon sequestration, the legume removes CO2 from the atmosphere and stores it in soil; nitrogen gain refers to the legume's ability to return nitrogen to the soil they grow in, acting like a fertiliser.
