Biodiesel from Jatropha

[sparky]

By 2012, a large portion of India’s Uttar Pradesh region will be converted into Jatropha, a non-edible oil-seed crop that can be grown on marginal land.

Even chattisgarh has similar story!

The state government has tied up with Bharat Petroleum for cultivation of jathropha on about 70,000 hectares or similar. Shall post the link soon.

Hi I have a Biofuel website and I am looking to exchange links. I'm probably not allowed to just put the URL here in this forum but it has many articles about Jatrophia - I am just getting started as its a new interest. Please let me know if there are any link exchangers out there.

also Jatrophia is an inedible fruit only used for biofuel. Fla Farmers are converting as the need gets bigger here in the states. Its probably the only place in the states that it can be grown.
thanks

Its amazing how India is really pushing for Jatropha. They are setting aside more and more land for this crop. Too bad the US does not have the climate to grow more. Thanks for your replys and links to the articles
