For this purpose certain varieties of the fruit.

As it became known, Israeli scientists learned how to turn a watermelon into fuel – so the experts are going to help in reducing dependence on the more usual fossil fuels, says ferra.ru.

In the production of biofuels, the experts employ a variety of watermelon called milliskin. Mainly its fruits grown for the seeds – the other parts of the fruit are often thrown away because of poor food.

As a result of dozens of experiments, the scientists found that, on the basis of pulp and peel of this type of watermelon is possible to establish effective production of bioethanol, which in turn is extremely useful as an alternative fuel. Do not forget that ethanol also can be produced and medicines such as preparations for disinfection, especially important during a pandemic coronavirus.
