SG Biofuels is a Californian company which was established in 2006 to grow and research Jatropha for biodiesel production. The company is growing Jatropha curcas in greenhouses and on plantations in Latin and Central America for sustainable biofuel production, while researching strains that can sustain colder temperatures for growth in the U.S.[1]
Jatropha has been growing successfully in tropical and subtropical locations for many years and has been cited as one of the best candidates for biodiesel production because of its high oil content—30 to 40 percent.[1]
In March 2010, SG Biofuels launched its first JMax 100 cultivar, a proprietary cultivar of Jatropha optimized for growing conditions in Guatemala with yields 100 percent greater than existing varieties.[2]
