We are running trials on converting Chinese small diesels (2-5kW) on coconut oil, and liaising with a group on jatropha as well. We see this as a low capital cost version of renewable energy, and particularly for lighting via battery charging. Our company is aiming to help 1 million people get off kerosene lighting and onto renewable energy - as a distributor of generators in Gambia, perhaps you would be interested in our products. Please email me if this is of interest - a quick estimate indicates perhaps 1 million people in The Gambia lack power and are using kerosene for lighting, which is 200,000 households spending $1/week, so $10 million/year is wasted on kero.

But I am still unsure of the availability of Jatropha and how much it is currently use. I heard that it is already used for soap production, but I don't know how much. I also don't know how much Jatropha is currently grown in Gambia. Do you have a global idea. Would it also be possible to arrange a visit? Do you have an email adress I could contact? Hi again,

It all looks very interesting. For my graduation project I am looking into designing a press to make briquettes from the Jatropha seedcake so they can be used instead of charcoal. This tool is designed in collaboration with the NICE (Next-door Internet Communication and Energy) Shops in Gambia. Their goal is to build shops based on sustainable energy all over Gambia so they are also looking into the possibility of using Jatropha to run their back-up generator. That is why I was wondering if there were already people in Gambia who where planting Jatropha to use the oil, but it seems like you just started the first project. I was wondering how you are currently promoting Jatropha in the Gambia and how it is being received? Thanks Astrid I read your website. It all looks very interesting.
