This document summarizes information about green oil investments. It describes green oil as being produced from plants and trees rather than fossils, with similar energy content to crude oil but being less volatile and safer to transport. It is already being used worldwide in power generation and transportation after being mixed with other fuels. The document outlines the ecological, political, and economic benefits of green oil investments. These include being a renewable resource, providing energy independence and jobs. It also describes current green oil investment programs involving planting jatropha and other energy crops, with assured returns of 5-12% in early years and 20% annually thereafter through a revenue sharing model.
