After earlier publications on Euphorbia tirucalli (including a cultivation manual and a report on laboratory tests), FACT Foundation now presents a video on the cultivation, harvesting and processing of this highly interesting energy crop. The video was produced by Ecoenergy Business Group Ltda. of Colombia (commissioned by FACT) and reflects their years of experience in growing and processing of this crop. 

Euphorbia tirucalli is a fast growing species that grows on infertile lands and is tolerant to long periods of drought (now where did we hear this before?). The fresh material can be easily harvested and processed into biogas digester feedstock.
