Jatropha has the following benefits when looked at from the fuel production angle:
It costs almost nothing to grow
It is drought resistant
It can be grown almost anywhere - even in sandy, saline, or otherwise infertile soil
It is easy to propagate
It is not invasive, or spreading, or damaging
It is capable of stabilizing sand dunes, acting as a windbreak, and combating desertification

It grows quickly and establishes itself easily
It has a high yield (Jatropha can yield about 1,000 barrels of oil per year per square mile - oil content of the seed is 35-40%
Centre For Jatropha Promotion & Biodiesel (CJP) is the worldwide promoter of jatropha that designs and implements the growing of jatropha curcas crops in a structured Agri-Supply chain, Value additions of jatropha seeds and research activities thereon & provides support/services from “Soil to Oil” for development and establishment of the biofuel crop.

Hi Irani, below, please find a link to a website, that offers ultrasonic equipment for a more efficient way to convert renewable feedstock, such as palm oil into biodiesel. Conventional methods involve tanks and long process times of up to 10hrs. Ultrasonication reduces this time to 5-15min. This makes biodiesel more cost effective to produce.

Ultrasonic Conversion of Oil to Biodiesel.

I still couldn’t believe that you can get biodiesel from a catfish and termite gut! Also the cheese waste and mushroom gene. It’s almost like we can have free fuel all this time. We didn’t have to dig into fossil fuels just to keep our metro molded cars running.
