Yes it could be for the future. From what I have been reading it does have unique qualities as a bio-fuel but it also has some drawbacks. For instance not only do you have to figure in the cost of growing and processing but as with most other bio-fuels you need to figure in large transportation costs. There are no pipelines for bio-fuels. Getting tankers to transport bio-fuels is extremely difficult as they are all in use transporting oil. So that leaves local distribution in relation to the areas being grown. Which means trucking costs. Ethanol for one cannot be transported via pipeline. Water seperates from it during pipeline transportation so all ethanol has to be trucked. Also there are no large infrastructure outlets to sell bio-diesel at the moment but it has been breaking ground in alot of underdeveloped or developing countries. It might take some time but it might be worth it possibly. There are other alternative energy projects in developement that don't require any crop developement. But as such Fundacion Pan America is located in and around developing counties it might be a viable investment for the future.

Please Mike next time don't just attack my posts. Everyone can learn something from the next person.
