BioFuel Species

  • Climate change in todays world has become a major issue with the increased burning of fossil fuels and hence the increase in carbon emmissions. This perception has produced a greater need for sustainable energy sources. The biofuel industry offers a renewable carbon neutral alternative. Plants that contain high oil contents can be used to provide energy sources that can replace fossil fuels. Biofuel refineries are emerging all around the world at a rapid rate and their main feedstock is food based products. As the population of the planet steadily increases, these biofuel refineries will be competing for feedstock and agricultural land. The importance of inedible biofuel feedstock is rapidly becoming apparent. More importantly, inedible biofuel feedstock that can be grown on marginal land.

To date we have sourced elite genetics from two biofuel Genus Jatropha and Pongamia, both of which suit the emerging necessities of the biofuel markets.
