I am having a similar doubt here as well, is Jatropha a reality? Indeed it
is a living tree, even I had one germinated from seed as a pot plant. But is
it a reality? What make it better then the more productive oil palm if it
still need fertilizer and irrigation to thrive? Or course, Jatropha can
Thx keith I missed out the castor oil discussion last time.
Hello REXIS.
The castor oil is highly questionable as a raw material for biodiesel
production due to two important issues::
1) The biodiesel from castor oil will have a too high viscosity well
outside the specs.
2) The fatty acids of

I had did some web study on Castor and Jatropha.
Jatropha, being promoted as the perfect biodiesel crop by India, is
receiving international highlights and many investors are interested or even
start investing in planting this crop. This may spoil the original intension
of promoting Jatropha,
smell like a hoax to me, at least they can provide a picture of the trees or show a seed or two.

There is currently no new plans for more biodiesel refinary for local use as i know.What is in their eye is only business sense, ie to export to europe where the needs for biodiesel is bigger. Anything related to environment or cleaner is simple just part of their advertisement technique.
They will do whatever that makes business sense, if sustainable palm oil is what europe wanted that sustainable palm oil they will try to make. Otherwise, they will clear as much forest as possible to make way for more oil palm estate.
Other then making more way by clearing rain forest they should
Composting required aerobic condition and well balanced C-N ratio to carry out. And require active turning the compost pile to mix in oxygen and fresh organic material to ensure a complete reaction. If compost too wet and soak in water will turn the pile into anaerobic compost which result in none
