In deserts all over world Calotropis procera grows wild and yields hydrocarbons ( triterpenoids) which can be broken and after hydrogenation provide C 15 chains which can be further purified.

My questions are

1. Can we use any other method to extract hydrocarbons instead of to extract hydrocarbons ?

2. We could increase yield from 5 percent to 15 percent dry matter but still 85 percent biomass needs quick conversion to biofuels Is there any perfected method available for the same ?

3.Growth and hydrocarbon yield are inversely proportional but salinity improves the hydrocarbon contents What is threshold point ?

What is overall possibility of using hydrocarbons for biofuels on commercial scale. I am very positive in this regard.

Our books on Springer site give enough material for the same but is it enough ?
