CTI Biofuels BioFueling the Future… Non-Confidential CTI Biofuels CTIB NonConf sbb 7 What to do with the Jatropha oil Jatropha oil is toxic…..???? Used as a medicine for topical treatment on skin Lamp oil Biofuel feedstock – Biodiesel, Bio-Jet Fuel, Bio-Gasoline, Green Diesel The Japanese forced the Indonesians to grow Jatropha to produce oil for the Japanese war effort during World War II. Indonesia has excellent experience in growing Jatropha but in general doesnt publish much about it.

A 50,000 hectare plantation will yield 80,000 tonnes per year of oil (24 million gallons which is $36 million revenue per year (Jatropha trees can last 50 years)
