I hate posting news normally, but since this is related directly from jatropha nuts and shows even airlines switching, thought it might be useful. Since BLDV is also growing jathropa or planning to and using mature cahune palm nuts in the Belizian forest, looks like we are in the right area for market.

Heck of a lot better then the corn guys anyways. LOL

The national carrier has announced it will use oil to fuel a test flight this year - the first of its kind using a sustainable biofuel with commercial potential. By 2013 it says the fuel will provide it with one million barrels a year.

Group strategy manager Abhy Maharaj said jatropha met all the airline's "non-negotiable" criteria.

It was cheaper than traditional jet fuel, emitted less carbon dioxide and was socially responsible - it was grown on land unsuitable for food crops, which had not been forest land for at least 20 years.
