Still analyzing the complexities and paradoxes of jatropha as biofuel feedstock? Come to 2nd JatrophaWorld Africa to hear from jatropha growers who have combined acreage of over 10,000 hectares and growing experience of 5 years and above.

When the British transplanted wild South American rubber trees in Indonesia in the early 1900s, the yield was dismal. After 20 years of intensive research, rubber yields had increased by 400 percent. With sufficient R&D, jatropha remains a hopeful candidate for near-term fuel and energy production. As affirmed by a recent research conducted by Pike Research, Jatropha-based fuels will have a significant impact in 2014.

The long-term commitment of worldwide national governments to foster robust biofuels markets remains solid, and technological advances and economies of scale will dramatically improve the economics of biofuels versus petroleum.

Come to 2nd JatrophaWorld Africa to obtain realistic outlook and factual information. See you in Brussels!
