This URL has a very good article on jatropha's benefits as a fuel
and for other things.

Jatropha trees - plants with potential to alleviate fuel shortages

Editor's Note: Jatropha is an example of a plant that could be
grown  even if it didn't yield biofuel. It is useful for restoring soil,
combatting desertification, and providing fertilizer. It requires
minimal inputs of water and grows in extremely poor soil.

Any plant that is a cash crop anyway and costs almost nothing to
grow  can't be a bad candidate for an economically viable biofuel.
