Biofuels!

Kim and I are going to Costa Rica in February for some business and pleasure. I will be meeting with my friends from the Costa Rica Seed Company (CRSC) and hopefully meeting with some businesses and government officials as well. The picture above shows me holding a bottle of jatropha oil and seeds from Costa Rica. The long term plan is for us to convert the oil into biodiesel as well as aviation fuel. The logo in the photo is for United Biofuels of America (UBA), a consortium we are forming to include biofuel researchers, farmers, universities, etc.

It won't be all business though. Costa Rica is full of biodiversity and Kim and I plan to enjoy seeing some of it. I was there back in November, but I was there primarily for business and did not have time to see much, other than the beautiful Pacific coast and the Los Suenos resort.

I will post some photos when I return.

I should also mention that this ties in with my other venture - growing jatropha in Burundi, Africa. The plans for that venture are still moving along. I have been working on financing. I appreciate all of those who have been praying.

Peace and blessings,
John
