As to the current reality.It is almost impossible ro this big quantity both from the demand and supply approaches.

Supply Approach.
So far there is not enough planted Jatropha trees which can genernate such quantity.
The relaistic planted acreages are very little and the secured yield are relatively very low.
It would take many million of hectares to plant Jatropha to generate for such quantity of Cri=ude Jatropha oil .
So far there is no single captive plantation in big scale on the earth.

Demand approach.
as rhe aviationindustry is looking for not only the enviroenmetal friendly fuel(green fuel0 but also the chepaer of fuel.
Bioenergy is far too much more expensive than the current mineral fuel (Jet A-1 Kerosene ).
It is impossible for any Airline to switch the current lower prices mineral /fiossil fuel to the much higher price Biofuel of Bio Jet Fuel(Jatropha).

This is not the ambitious target but it is the impossible dream according to the current reality.
