D1 Partners with Indian Biotech for Jatropha Plants

18 July 2005

Jatropha Seedlings in Labland Nursery

An Indian biotech firm is producing some 100 million tissue culture-derived Jatropha curcas plants to be used in D1 Oils’ (earlier post) global biodiesel plantations.

D1’s strategy calls for the distributed production of biodiesel using small refineries, about the size of a large shipping container, which can be used in remote sites to process jatropha oil into biodiesel.

They have selected the best yielding varieties, the best yielding lines of jatropha. Now what they want is billions and billions to be promoted everywhere. They want this in Philippines, they want it in Indonesia, in Saudi Arabia, in Malaysia, India, Africa. But where is the planting material? They have selected clones, best yielding, so that is possible only through the application of tissue culture. So for that purpose they have approached us.

—Sudheer Shetty, Managing Director of Labland Biotech (ANI)

Labland performed the tissue culture cloning of jatropha without any direct genetic engineering—removing potential objections to deployment in countries that might have concerns with genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Currently, the jatropha plants are projected to yield about 1,000 barrels of oil per year per square mile under cultivation.

biofarm.catbalogan@gmail.com or aylmerarellon@gmail.com. You are free to modify and we can e-mail each other to fine tune the said study/template for everybody's use so that before engaging in Jatropha plantation one could predict his "success or failure" as the case maybe before considering actual farming. Let's form a forum on this and i will be the one to create and maintain site as moderator for all of us.

Good day.

I am a freelance writer and researcher.

my current assignment is about jatropha.

can i ask anyone to send me any information regarding jatropha curcas.

my email add is: kingburn1986@yahoo.com

Posted by: King Decrepito | Jul 12, 2007 1:04:05 AM

Hello. I noticed that the main target for jatropha plantations is Mindanao. While Jatropha is said to be drought-resistant, conversely, will it be just as good in typhoon-belt areas like the Bicol region?

Posted by: Carol | Jul 19, 2007 12:00:31 AM

D1 oils told me that they are buying Jatropha seeds for P 4 /kilo? Hope this is not true coz if it is, my business partner told me to plant camote instead.
