Jatropha - a bioenergy crop for the poor 22 Jul 10 22 July 2010, Rome - Using the energy crop jatropha for biodiesel production could benefit poor farmers, particularly in semi-arid and remote areas of developing countries, according to a report published by FAO and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). But the report stresses that jatropha is still essentially a wild plant sorely in need of crop improvement. Expecting jatropha to substitute significantly for oil imports in developing countries is unrealistic. "Many of the actual investments and policy decisions on developing jatropha as an oil crop have been made without the backing of sufficient science-based knowledge," the report said. "Realizing the true potential of jatropha requires separating facts from the claims and half-truths." http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/44142/icode/
This report is a synthesis of information and its relative distribution in the bioenergy field, obtained through a review of global data and literature. The report contains two main sections organized around bioenergy issues, including an information survey and a literature review. The overwhelming amount of research focused on bioenergy compared to all other renewable energy types illustrates the role of bioenergy as the most important renewable energy source for the near- and medium-term future. Based on existing literature, the review seeks to identify some key trends and shifts in bioenergy topics related to the sustainable potential of global biomass.
