5 to 10 billion litres oil per year?

Cahoon Palms

15 feet from each other
1000 nuts
100 to 125 nuts = 1 quart 33% more with machinery
1 acre= 43,560 feet squared=208.7 feet X 208.7 feet

therefore 208.7 feet/15 tree/foot=13.91 treesX 13.91 trees=193.49 trees per acre X1000 nuts/tree/125tree/quart=1,547.92 quarts=1,464.9 litres per acre of land in Belize

therefore 208.7 feet/15 tree/foot=13.91 treesX 13.91 trees=193.49 trees per acre X1000 nuts/tree/100tree/quart=1,934.9 quarts=1,831.1 litres per acre of land in Belize

BLDV will be working with the government of Belize, creating jobs and getting them to extract the cahoon nuts that are Growing in the wild which produce vegtable oils that can be sold or further processed into bio diesels. Even the nut meat can be extracted and sold. There is a lot of rain forest in Belize.

Kind of nice to know that BLDV has got the full support of the country of Belize behind it in creating jobs and extracting fuel!

Half of little Belize is covered by dense jungle, and eighty percent of its rainforest remains under government protection, much of it unexplored.

It has an area of 22966 square kilometers (8867 square miles).

So 8867 square miles=5,674,880 acres half of which is rainforest, so 2,837,440 acres of cahoon trees

2,837,440 acres cahoon trees X 1,831.1 litres per acre of land in Belize= 5,195,636,384

what 5 billion litres of vegtable oil a year? Thats amazing and only 2 hours from the USA! Geez and I never even included the 33% more oil extracted from mechanical means. If one were to consider that 1/3rd of that rain forest wasnt cahoon trees or other, then I guess my math may still be quite correct

Now consider that this fuel gets twice the burning power of coconut oil and if they are able to manufacture it enough to extend it twice as far, thats a possible 10 billion litres of vegtable oil.

Now I understand that not every acre will be usable, but then again when working with the government to create jobs and much needed income. Just like the whole coffee business started years ago, Belize and the cahoon nut could become an even more prized economy, with a possibility of 5 or 10 billion liters of vegetable oil a year! To think that little BLDV tied up the deals with the Belize government, it makes sense why Chevron is working as well with Texas A&M!

Go BLDV!
