<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is a perennial shrub or tree. It is [drought-resistant](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) and easy to grow in tropical to areas. The plant lives for up to 50 years and might grow almost 20 feet (6 m.) high. It has a deep, thick taproot which makes it versatile to poor, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not especially aesthetically attractive, but it does get appealing green cymes of flowerets which turn into a [tri-compartment fruit](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) with large black seeds. These big black seeds are the reason for all the hullaballoo, due to the fact that they are high in burnable oil. An interesting piece of [Jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) tree details is that it is noted as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Salvador.

[Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) curcas cultivation can produce oil that is a good alternative to existing biofuels. Its effectiveness has actually been challenged, however it holds true the plant can [produce seeds](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) with an oil material of 37%. Unfortunately, it is still a part of the food vs. fuel debate, as it needs land that might enter into food production.
