THE SEED
For any bio-fuel efforts to become successful in replacing a large quantity of petroleum production, the yield of fuel per acre needs to be as high as possible.
Because bio-fuels are a form of solar energy, plants use photosynthesis to convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in the form of oils, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.
The more efficient a particular plant is at converting that solar energy into chemical energy - the greater the outcome will be from a bio-fuels perspective.

STALKS EASY TO CULTIVATE
Another attractive attribute of Jatropha is that it is drought-resistant and can grow in saline, marginal and even otherwise infertile soil, requiring little water and maintenance. It is hearty and easy to propagate. After a plant is cut, it is simply pushed back into the ground where it will again take root.
