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.

Vertically integrate Biofuel business by owning feedstock production Provide jobs for many third world areas Produce locally sustainable fuel in third world areas Use sustainable agriculture to reduce CO2 Produce profit from presently fallow or under-producing land

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)
