Jatropha, remember it because the stuff will grow and flourish anywhere. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Daimler AG (DIA) and Bayer AG (BAY) are studying the use of the plant. Folks, this is huge. Why?
ADM is going to study the conversion into biodiesel, Daimler is going to study its interaction with car engines and Bayer is going to produce herbicides, insecticides and fungicides for Jatropha plants. Essentially we have farm to engine collarborative here.
Jatropha is resistant to drought and pests, and produces seeds containing up to 40% oil. When the seeds are crushed and processed, the resulting oil can be used in a standard diesel engine, while the residue can also be processed into biomass to power electricity plants. The best part is that because it is so hardy, it can be planted on lands that currently do not have agricultural uses (barren land), bypassing the “food vs fuel” debate.
In a statement, the companies said, “Biodiesel derived from Jatropha nut kernels has properties similar to those of biofuels obtained from oilseed rapes. It is also characterised by a positive CO2 balance and can thus contribute to protecting the climate.”
Now, is this going to affect ADM in 2008? No. But the big thing is this is a plant that can be grown in the US Southwest in lands currently uncultivated due to their climate. This is a long term story and as time goes by, its significance will grow dramatically.
Disclosure: Long ADM.

We have close to 100,000 hectares stretch of land available for jatropha production.
The cost per year is $3 USD for a hectare, period of lease is 50years or more depending on the interested investor.
There are water sources closer to the land and very flat without hills or mountains.
Thank you
Bernard

Hi Mr. John Donovan,
I think that the best place to be to know the most about Jatropha is JatrophaWorld 2008, a showcase for all the latest trends and shifts occurring in the JATROPHA value chain.
JatrophaWorld 2008 is a series of three conferences to be held in three global venues and is the most authoritative platform for all stakeholders in the Jatropha business.
I had attened JatrophaWorld 2008- Jakarta on 23-24 January, and it attracted over 350 participants from over 40 countries, making it the single largest international gathering of Jatropha entrepreneurs and financiers.
JatrophaWorld 2008’s panel of internationally acclaimed experts delivered insightful speeches on the following critical aspects of the Jatropha value chain:
§ Jatropha plantation management,
