Feb 24, 2010: A New Life for Jatropha
Like Hollywood, the world of biofuels has its celebrity crops: They are suddenly darlings, then just as suddenly they are all but forgotten. These days the hot crop is algae. Dozens of well-funded companies are trying to coax algae to produce oils or alcohols that can be used to power planes, trains and Hondas. For a time it was switchgrass, a prairie grass that needs little cultivation.
Jatropha also had its time. This shrubby tree was said to be indestructible. It could grow in terrible soil with hardly any water, it could fight off pests, and its seeds were jam-packed with oil.
"The hype was correct," insists Kirk Haney, the chief executive of SG Biofuels, a San Diego company that hasn't given up on jatropha. "But just because it grows everywhere doesn't mean it produces a profitable yield."
This is what SG Biofuels says it can now deliver.

It’s been almost a year since San Diego-based SG Biofuels stepped out of the shadows to announce its plans to produce biodiesel and feedstock substitutes from Jatropha, a hardy shrub that produces golf ball-size seeds with high oil content.
Today, the company is announcing it has formed a strategic alliance with Life Technologies (NASDAQ: LIFE), the Carlsbad, CA-based maker of genetic diagnostic equipment, laboratory instruments, and other biotech supplies. In striking the deal, SG Biofuels CEO Kirk Haney tells me, “We have a company with a $9 billion market cap that is recognizing and validating the global opportunities for Jatropha.”
