Within a few years there should be legislation in place which requires all diesel fuel sold at the pumps to have at least 20% biodiesel added to it, so it appears that this is a good company to invest in for the future. However, read up about Jatropha first. There are lots of unusual properties with this plant. The biodiesel produced from it has to be stored under Nitrogen and once the crop is cultivated fatty acids can build up. The manufacturing plants that DOO are investing in should be able to overcome this problem. Most people where I work already run their diesel cars on 20% - 30%veg oil which they purchase off the shelf at Tesco/Asda.
