Growing Diesel Fuel Plant CJP‘s 2nd Global Jatropha Hi-Tech Agricultural Training Programme in India from July-14-18, 2008 (The enrolment is subject to confirmation of registration.) Centre for Jatropha Promotion & Biodiesel (CJP) is the Global authoritative Agency for scientific commercialization of Jatropha fuel crop and designs and implements the growing of Jatropha curcas crops worldwide in a structured Agri-Supply chain, Value additions of Jatropha seeds and research activities thereon & provides support/services from “Soil to Oil” for development and establishment of the non -food Bio-fuel crops.
We know that energy is a matter of national security as the volatile Middle East affects the world supply with most developing countries struggling with heavy oil import costs. The price of Crude Fossil oil is touching 100 US $ per barrel and expected to touch 150 mark within two years. As such for many countries, the question of trying to achieve greater energy independence one day through the development of biofuels has become one of ‘when’ rather than ‘if,’ and, now on a near daily basis, a biofuels programme is being launched somewhere in the developing world. Global production of biofuels is growing steadily and will continue to do so. The global biodiesel market is estimated to reach 37 billion gallons by 2016 growing at an average annual rate of 42 percent. The rapid development of the global biodiesel industry has been closely observed by countries interested in stimulating economic growth, improving the environment and reducing dependency on imported oil. Developing Biofuels represents the most immediate and available response to at least five key challenges and opportunities: Ø Coping with record-high crude-oil prices; Ø The need for oil-importing countries to reduce their dependence on a limited number of exporting nations by diversifying their energy sources and suppliers; Ø The chance for emerging economies in tropical regions to supply the global energy market with competitively priced liquid biofuels; Ø Meeting growing energy demand in developing countries, in particular to support development in rural areas; Ø And the commitments taken to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions as part of the battle against climate change Biofuels offers new growth opportunities in many rural areas of developing countries, but it’s important to guarantee the livelihoods and well-being of the most vulnerable. We must ensure that the price of food does not impair the food security of the poor.
Alternative feedstock The emerging industry is facing a lack of feedstock supplies and rising crude palm oil /soya oil prices and also the debate of crops for food versus fuel and needs initiatives in crop cultivation technologies and competitive sourcing of appropriate feedstock - all of which can alter the biofuel economics. As such the greatest challenges to the widespread deployment and use of biofuels is developing a dedicated energy crops that are cost-effective, easy to sustain and can produce greater yields. Such energy crop that produces biofuels and holds particular promise for sustainable development and a sustainable environment is Jatropha and other non-food crops.
Sustainability Jatropha is a valuable multi-purpose crop to alleviate soil degradation, desertification and deforestation, which can be used for bio-energy to replace petro-diesel, for soap production and climatic protection, and hence deserves specific attention Jatropha can help to increase rural incomes, self-sustainability and alleviate poverty for women, elderly, children and men, tribal communities, small farmers. It can as well help to increase income from plantations and agro-industries. There are various trees that are suitable for bio-diesel production. Out of all these trees, Jatropha must be regarded as a sure inclusion and the foundation around which a plan can be built if for nothing but its pure hardiness and stress handling ability. It is just a tree that has enough credentials. That is why the Planning Commission of India has nominated it as ideal plant for biodiesel.
Biodiesel produced from jatropha is one of the most promising solutions for tackling the growing carbon emissions from transport
Rushing to turn food crops — maize, wheat, sugar, palm oil — into fuel for cars, without first examining the impact on global hunger, would be a recipe for disaster. Among the potential impacts identified are increasing food prices, increasing competition over land and forests, forced evictions, impacts on employment and conditions of work, and increasing prices and scarcity of water. That is why Jatropha was recently recommended as a biofuels crop for developing countries by UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food In recent years, the Indian government has shown a major interest in Jatropha, and alongside other developing countries, a number of international groups are now sharing this interest. There have been substantial political and social pressures to promote the growing of such crops (in particular Jatropha curcas) in India, as a means of economic empowerment, social upliftment and poverty alleviation within marginalized communities.
Government of India has selected the plant for National Program compared to others due to followings: Low cost seeds High oil content Small gestation period Growth on good and degraded soil Growth in low and high rainfall areas Seeds can be harvested in non-rainy season Plant size is making collection of seeds more convenient Of all the above prospective plant candidates as bio-diesel yielding sources, Jatropha curcas is standing "at the top" and "sufficient information” on this plant is already available
Breaking the cycle of poverty Consider that 54 countries are poorer today than they were 15 years ago. And that almost half of the world’s people – the vast majority of them working people – live on less than two dollars per day. We have a responsibility to make renewable energy available and affordable to all…to ensure that the poorest countries in the world are not forced to choose between feeding their people and fueling their economies. For example, crop yields in sub-Saharan Africa are projected to fall by 20 percent under global warming; As yields fall and demand rises, Africa will become more dependent on expensive food imports. Already the poor in sub-Saharan Africa spend 60 to 80 percent of their total income on food – that compares to approximately 10 percent in the U.S.; Climate change induced famine may displace more than 250 million people worldwide by 2050 Consider that oil priced at >$90 per barrel has had a disproportionate impact on the poorest countries, 38 of which are net importers and 25 of which import all of their oil; Developing countries consume roughly twice as much oil per dollar of GDP as the United States All the while, the high cost and Inaccessibility of fossil fuels, leaves approximately 2 billion people worldwide without reliable energy sources, without refrigeration, basic communication, heat, or even light. For developing countries, then, climate change and world’s energy policies are a source of oppression, a source of sickness and a source of human suffering. Since the two-thirds of the people in the developing world who derive their incomes from agriculture and Jatropha based biodiesel has enormous potential to change their situation for the better and poverty can be broken by Jatropha Cultivation as this dedicated crop has a huge potential for replication world -wide, improving the livelihood of many more. At the community level, farmers that produce dedicated energy crops can grow their incomes and grow their own supply of affordable and reliable energy At the national level, producing more biofuels will generate new industries, new technologies, new jobs and new markets. At the same time, producing more biofuels will reduce energy expenditures and allow developing countries to put more of their resources into health, education and other services for their neediest citizens
Can diesel be "cultivated"? India & other developing countries have the potential to be a leading world producer of diesel, but the rural farmers still need to get comfortable with the idea that diesel fuel can be "harvested," but they understand one thing very clearly that they can use Jatropha plants as a source of extra earnings . Farmers need to know that there is going to be a good market for what they produce. We are very keen to build that confidence and promote Jatropha cultivation by assisting planting, buying the seeds for refining and providing the refining technology to enable growers to make their own biodiesel."
Having specialized CJP in several fields of Jatropha Production related consultancy and services we see great opportunities for doing business with it... “By cultivating these energy-producing plants, processing them and finally producing biodiesel, we are creating new sources of income for the rural farmers. CJP proudly presents its commitment to exploring, developing and establishing the correct process, procedures and systems for growing, crushing refining and use of Bio Diesel from seed oil, Jatropha curcas in particular.

Benefits to India Wasteland Reclamation and Reforestation
We have already planted Jatropha in large area and encouraging results has motivated us for further expansion of the Jatropha plantation which can generate tremendous job opportunities among the rural masses It may lead to a revolutionary transformation of the current gloomy economic and energy scenario with an era of economic bloom and prosperity for all sections of society. Jatropha cultivation generates an income of RS 25000(US$ 625) / ha and RS.150, 000(US$ 3750)/ha from 5th year onwards in existing system of farming and if grown in 200 hectares in a village, it can provide adequate employment to all landless workers all through the year.
By adopting the concept of “sustainable agriculture” and to just enable the farmers/ new growers to start the Jatropha crop cultivation, we have specifically developed and designed a unique kit for Jatropha plantation and crop care for one hectare called: “Jatropha Agri- Extension” Kit
We have formulated A Brief Country Report On” Jatropha Biodiesel Prospects in _________ ’(country Specific) determining the practicality of developing Jatropha crop plantation just to enable you to take planning and management decision efficiently, effectively and timely. Separate report is available for 48 African countries, 17 Asian countries, 24 North American counties and about 14 South American countries We formulate and provide Independent Expert’s Reports on various segment of Jatropha based business proposals
Couple crop doubles oil yield Jatropha shows potential as a new biodiesel crop, big investments of billions of dollars is being made. In order to ensure more return on investment we have been finding more solid secure and sustainable ways. The years of continuous research, experiments and trials have given CJP a big break through in the search for a viable alternative feedstock for biodiesel in combination with Jatropha. CJP’s New Couple Oil Crop Cultivation Technology (COC) is poised to feed the biodiesel industries in a very solid and sustainable manner. The COC Technology may provide highest oil yield of >1350 gallon per ha We have introduced our Rural Jatropha Energy System, implementation of which may benefits farmers and their communities and other stakeholders. This energy system based on the local cultivation of Jatropha is decentralized, durable, relying on local knowledge and sustainable, in the true sense of the word. We can provide water and electricity services to a rural village at a smaller cost.
GROWING BUSINESS After recognizing biodiesel’s milestones, where is the industry and what will it take to truly get it on the map? Given the realities of the biodiesel markets, a successful biodiesel business plan begins with an effective feedstock strategy from which process design flows. To make biodiesel a long-term business opportunity, attention must be to the critical issue of availability of right feedstock at right cost. We are happy to note that our untiring efforts have made the Jatropha an alternative feedstock for building a sustainable biodiesel industry. A number of new development projects and plantations involving thousands and hundreds of thousands of hectares with investment of billions of dollars have been initiated during the year 2007. Since feedstock is the single largest cost component in biodiesel production, this considerably less expensive feed stock give the producers a significant cost advantage over producers use rapeseed and soybean oil.
Jumping of a lot of companies on the bandwagon has enhanced the role and responsibility of the CJP to provide them, the right steps to start the successful business ensuring that this crop is planted in the right way and with due cares to what’s possible in terms of sustainable farming techniques. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail CJP can offer Jatropha renewable energy projects with many plans, resources and proven profitable models. Our specialty is business planning with the focus on high productivity and profitability. We believe our experience in Jatropha energy projects is marketable and proven with integrity. The preparation of Business plan needs expertise, a better understanding of how to prepare, analyze and interpret financial statements. This may seem like a complicated time consuming task. Therefore, just save to your time and money, make the task easy and provide you with the necessary tools to more effectively analyze financial statements and make informed business decisions we have formulated various Jatropha Biodiesel farming business plans from farming to fuel based on our extensive experience, research and IPR knowledge. This "Jatropha biodiesel ” is going to happen. We know there are a lot of farmers, entrepreneurs, and investors reading this who can cash in on this biodiesel craze. They are already doing it big time in Europe so it's just a matter of time before it happen worldwide using Jatropha to make biodiesel. This industry is going to grow very quickly - start planting Jatropha TODAY and then start making biodiesel to produce/generate your own fuel/electricity/power. With above steps —government support, scientific research, new funding, and effective project management—we can make significant progress in the near term to address the climate challenge and fossil fuel crisis through growing green energy from non-food sources. Before taking the first step into the exciting world of biodiesel, begin with the power of knowledge, which is clearly the most potent tool in building a successful biodiesel industry and here is that Ocean of Power to Power the Planet and the People : Kindly login to acquire the same With best regards, CEO, CJP CONTACT:- CENTRE FOR JATROPHA PROMOTION & BIODIESEL B-132, SAINIK BASTI, CHURU- 331001, RAJASTHAN, INDIA TELE: +91 1562 255575 MOBILE- +91 9413343550, +91 9829423333 E.MAIL: jatropha_c@yahoo.co.in
