Oil prices reached 120 $ a barrel today.
High energy consumption in developing countries and diminishing oil production are responsible for rising oil prices.
An analysis of the bioenergy market suggests that Jatropha could be used to produce a barrel of fuel for around $43, less than the cost of sugar cane-based ethanol ($45 per barrel) or corn-based ethanol ($83 per barrel).
Even if you want to fill your car with carbon neutral biofuel or to take a plane fuelled with bioenergy, it is not always possible. The reason is that biofuel is unfortunately not available on a large scale at the moment.
If you want to have a cheaper sustainable alternative to polluting expensive fuel in the future:
Plant your Jatropha tree today.
Think about the future whenever you are driving or flying.
