Dear list experts,
I note a good deal of information in the list about using Jatropha (J.

yet seen answers directly to my questions. My

Re this:
You could probably set the upper limit of what would qualify as DIY
or homebrew or local coop or Appropriate Technology-level biodiesel
production at about 1,000 gallons a day, which is about a tenth of
what they're planning. They'll be wanting an industrial processor.

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
If reality, can it be done in the US or only developing nations?
I wonder what you're talking about? Jatropha is certainly a reality,
it's something that exists, it's not just hype, it's a tree. So?
There's a lot of information on jatropha in the archives. Try this, eg:

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
