But the report says jatropha needs dry weather. So it is not suitable for Malaysian climate?
Another candidate for biofuel is algae. Here is something about it...
Although algae produces some carbon dioxide when burned, unlike fossil fuels, it's carbon dioxide that the algae take in while they are growing. This is great, because when algae farms grow huge lakes and vats of algae to be turned into biofuels, they actually suck the greenhouse gas out of the air.
Algae has many other benefits. Unlike corn for ethanol or soybeans for biodiesel, algae can be cultivated in ponds or even tubes in a fluid containing vitamins, minerals and everything else it needs to grow — it doesn't need soil or fresh water to grow. Huge vats of algae can produce more energy per hectare than any land crop can.

Ya, not Malaysia. But Malaysia companies can do business in other countries too. According to the paper, Genting Plantations has started investment on it.Another candidate for biofuel is algae. Here is something about it...

Green is the future, definitely. I imagine 10 years later, the world will be quite different from now. Well, another 100 years, Doraemon will born.
