I know that...it makes all kinds of stuff, medicine, fertilizer, etc. Most biodiesel feedstocks contain glycerin attached to esthers. The biodiesel process replaces the glycerin with an alchohol, making a methyl esther (with methanol) ethyl ester with ethanol, etc. The glycerin is a byproduct often used to make soap.

It also makes poison, mountains of it. K. Shaine Tyson PHD is a good friend. She led the National Renewable Energy Lab research for over 10 years, is a well respected guru in the industry. She knows a 1,000 times more about this than anyone and will argue this issue to the wall, she has with me. She owns Rocky Mountain consulting now, call her and ask, she charges 150/hr to talk to me. She claims that Jatropha's achilles heal is the toxic byproduct and says till someone figures out how to deal with it that it makes jatropha a bad feedstock. It's an issue the industry sweeps under the rug. If Dynasep can extract the good and neutralize the bad than they have something. I haven't been following this issue, there may be others tackling it, would be surprised if there weren't.
