i must say jathropa isnt as efficient as palm oil. It requires a lot space and one tree of jathropa wont produce so many oil. The current solution now is green algae. Try to google for "petro-algae". This method only require a pond to grow this algae and it can be harvest for further treatment to convert lipid into ethanol

it is feasible. First of all oil price will not drop below palm oil prices. Energy consumption is expected to double in the next few decades. If supply is running low and demand is doubled.. how can they prices rise?

Therefore, yes biofuel is the next step.

Well, do note that a lot of fertiliser is sourced from petroleum - it will also raise most biofuel prices, if they depend heavily on fertiliser.

biodiesel if produce on farm land will not be feasible, the world is also running out of farm land to produce enough food, algae will be a good choice if mass production can be perfected.

heh? CPO is 800usd/ton wor

As I remembered Badawi had included it in one of his Budget but I see no Biofeul stations being set up as plan. Shortly after Najib took over the reins and it did not seem like his agenda. He likely will persue anything to do with 1Malaysia. Likely Malaysia will implement it when it become a trend in developed countries. I think it wise too. It better to do nothing. We had no idea what will replace petrol as the alternate fuel. Why spend so much to lay the infrastructure when it may not be the future fuel.
