Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...
