Biodiesel in Haiti, Appropriate Technology, & Micro-LendingBy Anonymous on Saturday, April 14, 2007.

Below, I have transcribed a small portion of her comments and then linked to a pdf file containing the complete testimony. You will also find mention of the Jatropha plant in the Inter-American Development Bank's recently published biofuels report in the section on Haiti [link]. Also, I spoke on panel at the US Institute of Peace yesterday (see my previous blog post [link]) and Haitian Ambassador to the United States Raymond Joseph raised the issue of biofuel production--and Jatropha in particular--in his opening remarks. At long last, it seems Jatropha and biofuels are receiving the attention and clout they deserve. Please see below for Dr. Forman's helpful overview of Jatropha in Haiti. Follow this link to go directly to the full testimony [link].
Why Jatropha? "Jatropha curcas is an important feedstock for the production of biofuels. Its widespread use in India and Egypt is gaining popularity as a quick growing source of oil-bearing nuts that can be pressed to produce biodiesel products. Jatropha has also been a crop of choice in development programs in Africa where local villages have grown Jatropha on small plots of land and have hand-pressed the oil for use in generators, sewing machines and small motors. Glycerin, a by product of Jatropha oil, can also be used to produce soap. "Jatropha has also been proven to have strong anti-erosion qualities which make it ideally suited for use in Haiti. A recent study on watershed preservation commissioned by USAID this year reinforced this fact, adding that it was more effective than the tree-planing efforts that have been used to help reforest Haiti. Follow this link to read the complete text [link]. Seed Oil Technology
Because we are talking Jatropha, I wanted to point out the Kick Start Oil Press [link], which will extract oil from sunflower, sesame, and other oil seeds. The filter produces clear, cold-pressed, cooking oil ready for direct sale, biofuel processing (Jatropha), or consumption (when used with other seed oils). Micro Credit Lending
The second organization, which has the market share of the Western Hemisphere is FINCA. While predominantly in Central and Latin America, FINCA does have an evolving presence in Haiti. They too offer small business loans and can be considered the powerhouse of micro-credit in the region. Information can be found on their website [link]. |

JATHROPHA PROJECT PROPOSAL IN NIGERIA
Dear Sir,
I am an investment lawyer based in Lagos Nigeria . I am writing this email as a proposal asking you to consider the opportunities in biofuel business in my country. Please have the patience to read through these few lines.
With a population of 160 million and a vehicular population of 35 million excluding plants and machinery, and a growing economy looking to diversify on all fronts,our country is the next large market for energy. Perennial challenges in the petroleum industry and the ever rising cost of petrofuel now informs the imperative for new energy sources to drive development here.
I in 2008 worked with an American investor to secure 7,000 hectares of land set up a Jathropha farm in Southwest Nigeria. This land was given to us free by a family with an agreement for profit-sharing when business began on it. Unfortunately,the investor could not secure the needed credit to start off before the global economic crisis set in. This expanse of land is still available on same terms for Jathropha planting to produce biodiesel. I hereby make your company an offer to take up this opportunity to do business here, as you will not spend money on land acquisition, and import taxes on agricultural equipment is low.
For information, a gallon of petrol here sells the equivalent of $3. A gallon of diesel sells for $4.5 or more . I suppose these figures might be interesting when compared with the relatively cheaper prices of biodiesel.
I would like to hear from you soon on your interest on this matter.
Thanks for your patience.

the Dark Garden: Non-Nutrient Hydroponics
Hello
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is George Davis, I'm an Artist, Photographer, Capricorn, Humanist, Computer Nerd, Meta-Morph and Plant Person. It's that Plant Person aspect I'd like to talk to you about. I have a method of growing Jatrophia curcas is buckets using plain tap water. There's no nutrient in the water at all. There's no need for water pumps, ph measures or concentration tests. The seeds are started in the mix and only the inserts are moved from the different size containers. The water is completely reusable with no need to dump. There's no nutrient waste. These can be set up anywhere and the whole setup is movable. The containers are completly sealed. Even better it can be done as an Arts && Crafts project. If interested I have pictures from beginning to end. Please return my email and we can talk further
Thank You
Biodiesel from malunggay seeds
im pinoy too and always very interested about subjects like this..i was very surprised to know that malunggay seeds are now tapped as a source of biodiesel. Is this true?..is the oil extracted from the seeds can be use right away to fuel engines? or does the engine needs modification first before the biodiesel from malunggay seeds is used. Hoping to hear from pinoy the answer to my question..thank you very much for sharing this very important news...
Jetropha as biodiesel..
Jetropha are nice but about the waste!!
Read it about here as biodiesel... http://www.stuartxchange.com/TubangBakod.html

Jatropha
Jatropha is left with poisonous waste after oil extraction.
Jatropha
Moringa oil extracted from the seed of the malunggay plant is now being tapped as source of biodiesel. It is gaining preferable status over Jatropha as a source of biofuel. All parts of the malunggay plant are used whereas Jatropha is left with poisonous waste after oil extraction. Also, malunggay needs only one to two years for seedling maturation compared to Jatropha's three to five years.

Jatropha Plantation
Is there is a risk that the Jatropha crop could be harmed by disease or infestation?
jatropha seeds store
Biofuelseeds.org is a seeds sales service provided by the non-profit Gota Verde project in Honduras. In contrast to many other suppliers, we select and grow our seeds ourselves from selected plant material worldwide, tested under the many microclimates that can be found in Honduras. This guarantees freshness (high germination rate), uniformity of seed size and adaptability to your local conditions.
Gota Verde aims to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of small-scale biofuel production and local use. The farmer-owned enterprise BYSA (Biocombustibles Yoro Sociedad Anónima) processes and sells the biofuel and its by-products. All income generated by the sales of seeds is reinvested in improving seed material supplied to small farmers in Honduras and to our clients in general.

JATROPHA:
Its widespread use in India is gaining popularity as a quick growing source of oil-bearing nuts that can be pressed to produce biodiesel products. Jatropha has also been a crop of choice in development programs in almost every countries where local villages have grown Jatropha on small plots of land and have hand-pressed the oil for use in generators, sewing machines and small motors.

As the Jatropha,through which bio diesel will be produced and can bring a new revolution in oil and petroleum refineries.In India,petroleum sectors like BPCL,IOCL,HPCL joined their hands so as to bring Jatropha cultivation Bio disel in markets which tend to reduce the future shortage of oil consumption.
I have keen interest in jatropha plantation and and production of bio diesel through its seeds.
I need more information in terms of following points:
Jatropha plantation:
1. What is the yield out of each jatropha tree.
2. How much land would be needed for its plantation.
3. What would be the initial investment in plantation of seeds.
4. What is the average period after seed plantation to actual production
Bio diesel Plant and its requirements:
1. Minimum space for errecting the plant.
2. Average cost for errecting the plant.
3. General plant running cost.
4. Average yield out of the plant.
