Jatropha - Production/ ha = 3-4 tonnes Oil (%) = 35.0 Maturity time = 4 years Yield per plant = 4-5 kg Byproduct Glycerin = 100 kg/ tonne oil Cakes = 3 kg/ kg oil The cost of glycerol and cakes meet the processing costs. Oil is treated with methanol + NaOH = to get biodiesel Biodiesel from Jatropha
