I will try and call you. Also, Jamil, I could advise you on the processing of the seeds for producing oil and then on to producing electricity. I will try and call you.

Extracting jatropha oil is very simple and should not be an expensive proposition. You do not use the cotton gin, but the cottonseed press, or expeller, can be used for jatropha also. If you are interested, I could advise you on this at no charge, I am very interested in starting up new jatropha plantations in South America, so my payback could be having access to your agronomical experiences. My background is solidly in oilseed extraction, during 25 years. Please write me at lgosorno2atmsn.com or leave a posting here. Best regards.

Extracted oil will be used as fuel in stoves, and the residues will be pressed in briquettes, which can also be used as domestic fuel in replacement of charcoal. We really hope this strategy will positively impact on forest conservation in DR Congo, where there is plenty of land in all villages.

What is the extraction proccess that can be use-can you use a gin(cotton) to express the oil? What about the toxicity of the shell of the seed. We are concerned about any toxic left over products and want to use as much of the plant as possible Thank you for any help We are growning Jatropha on the big island in hawaii and want to look at creating a bio disel plant using the product.
