Tinatantya na 1,114,000 ektarya ng jatropha production maaaring matugunan ang buong demand na enerhiya Haiti, at dahil isa pag-aaral 500,000 ektarya ng nagpapasama dalisdis ng burol ay magagamit para sa jatropha production sa Haiti, maaari realistically ito palitan magkano ng kasalukuyang pag-inom ng uling ng bansa nang walang displacing mga pananim na pagkain.
