Drip Irrigation of Jatropha
14
Grow even on marginal/saline/acidic/alkaline soils and slopy lands.
Develop without much care and irrigation.
Suit even dry-land farming and survive drought.
Provide live hedge for farms to arrest the menace of stray cattle.
Generate rural employment for cultivation, seed collection and processing.
Need hardly any application of pesticide.
Generate net income for 35-40
Improve soil fertility throughout their life-cycle.
Provide fuel wood after 50 years’ life-span.
Possess medicinal as well as other multiple uses.
Create green cover for long term ecological benefits.
Enhance energy security for the country (biodiesel)

Algae Commercial Production
GreenFuel's high yield algae farms recycle carbon dioxide from flue gases to produce biofuels and feed, reducing net carbon dioxide production as waste becomes profit. Harvesting algae for biofuels enhances domestic fuel production while mitigating CO2.Why expensively sequester CO2 when it can be profitably recycled

The following sonochemical effects can be observed in chemical reactions and processes:
increase in reaction speed,
increase in reaction output.
more efficient energy usage.
switching of reaction pathway,
performance improvement of PTC.
avoidance of phase transfer catalysts.
use of crude or technical reagents.
activation of metals and solids.
increase in the reactivity of reagents or catalysts.

Virgin Airlines: First Biodiesel Test Flight
Feb. 25, 2008 Virgin Atlantic flew for 40 min. Boeing 747-400 from London to Amsterdam with one engine partially powered by palm oil (20% Coconut & Babassu) oils, & 80% regular jet fuel (kerocene).

Dece. 30, 2008 Air New Zealand, Boeing 747-400 burned a 50-50 blend of regular jet fuel and a bio-version made of jatropha -and the first jet to use biofuel refined from a non-food crop.

JAL Flight Brings Aviation One Step Closer to Using Biofuel
Jan. 30, 2009, Japan Airlines demonstated successful biodiesel test flight using mainly camelina . JAL jet 747-300 used in the test flight 50% blend biodfuel and jet fuel A .It was also the first demo flight using acombinaion of three sustainable biofuels made of (84% camelina, 16% jatropha and less than 1% algae).
