How Can A Jatropha Curcas Green Oil Investment Programme Provide An Ethical Biofuel?

types of biofuels


Jatropha Curcas is a plant that offers an investment opportunity with amazingly high yields of return and is emerging as a miracle plant and a likely claimant as the king of the next generation of renewable energy sources because it’s berryies contain a quality green bio fuel.

The miracle Jatropha Curcas plants:-

(1) Are already producing a fuel oil that could is supplementing reducing mineral oil supplies.

(2) Are developed through Investment Funds that offer investors astonishing returns, such as 93% Annual return on investment.

(3) Won’t take over arable land used for crop growing because they thrive in hot arid areas.

Exploration for new oil reserves continues, but discovery rate is lower than current consumption rate. Experts may disagree about how long existing oil reserves may last, but they do all agree that it is being used faster than it is being found. BP’s chairman recently indicated that in his opinion, based on today’s extraction rates, there remains only forty-two years supply of crude oil left in the ground.

This paints a bleak picture for the future for nations relying on natural underground oil deposits.The chairman of British Petroleum is quoted as suggesting quite clearly that we are on a fast-track to complete depletion of our natural oil reserves. he gave a time span of well under 50 years at present usage rates. Oil experts across the world differ on the timescale but all agree on one thing:- It’s going faster than new reserves can be found.

It’s a dire situation, beyond doubt.If we can’t uncover more natural deposits of oil than we are using then one thing is inevitable. The oil will run out one day.

While experts do disagree on the time left before ‘doomsday’, no one disagrees that consumption is far outstripping discovery of new reserves. On the subject of the size of existing reserves, one respected figure, Peter Sutherland of UKs PB group put a time limit of just over forty years on the availability of existing known oil reserves.

A sobering thought indeed.

As if the prospect of running out of oil or at least being dependent upon oil suppliers wasn’t a big enough problem, there is also greenhouse gas emissions and global warning posing a threat. Not surprising, then, that there is considerable interest in finding diverse and renewable sources of energy.

The Indian government is well ahead of the rest of the world on addressing the oil and renewable energy shortages in a practical manner. So much so that they have committed 27 million acres of land for the sole purpose of growing Jatropha trees.

The Jatropha plant grows and blossoms in the swathes of land ill-suited for normal farmland up to 1200 miles from Equator. In these poor conditions it produces green berries twice yearly that are easily pressed to emit an oil of the same energy potential as crude oil. For years, until very recently it was viewed as a pest and only used for forming farm boundaries.

Within 5 years, airlines may be flying on Jatropha oil according to Boeing in a recent statement. The company’s director of environmental strategy, Bill Glover said that this could happen once clearance has been obtained from ASTM which is expected in 2010.

The normal habitat for a Jatropha plantation is around the tropics and on marginal soil without the benefit of fertilizers or supplementary water by means of irrigation. Under these conditions there are typically one thousand trees per acre, each producing one litre of oil every year. A small diesel car would be able to run on this production for a full year travelling normal distances. The tropical location of the plantations and the need for labour to tend and harvest the plants does in fact have spin-off benefits.

The benefit of this situation is that many farmers in the typical Jatropha plantation areas are living at subsistence level. By providing them with seedling and teaching them to cultivate and tend the crop, they can increase their living standards at a relatively low cost to the investor. The locals become self sufficient without the need for charity or aid.

It is through well prepared and well managed Investment Programmes that these third world nations could attract the Wrests’ investment for the Jatropha projects. The investors would be helping the poor countries to raise themselves out of poverty and energy-dependence at the same time as enriching the indigenous people and helping to reduce global warming. In return the investor would have the satisfaction that it is his contribution that has allowed all those benefits to arise and would he would be financially rewarded by a very significant return on his investment.

A UK Jatropha Investment company in the United Kingdom is offering a staggering 93% return on investment and claims that the Fund is insured against such risks as Acts of God and civil unrest. This company is open to receive investments from interested parties.
