Clean Energy Investment Charges Ahead Despite Financial Market Turmoil
"Climate change worries, growing support from world
governments, rising oil prices and ongoing energy security concerns combined to
fuel another record-setting year of investment in the renewable energy and
energy efficiency industries in 2007, according to an analysis issued Tuesday
July 1 by the UN Environment Programme(UNEP). With end of cheap oil, renewables
and energy efficiency attracts fast-growing interest. New investment surpasses $148 billion in
2007, a 60% rise from 2006, Growth continues in 2008, UNEP study says
LabLand BioTechs Researches Biofuel Potential of Jatropha
Labland Biotechs is a Private Limited Company founded in
1994 in Mysore, South India. It is a global player in the field of plant
biotechnology with a current customer base in India, Europe, North America,
Middle East, Sri Lanka, Japan and South East Asia. As a Plant Science Company, Labland is
committed to finding solutions to the growing needs for food and health by
sharing common forms in science and technology among horticulture, agriculture
and health.
Jatropha Oil Fields Striking Gold
"Jatropha, unlike soybeans, canola and many other
agricultural plants, can be cultivated on arid and semi arid non-agricultural
land. Growing Jatropha never has to compete with growing food. On a per acre
basis, Jatropha can yield up to 10 times the amount of oil as other sources of
biodiesel. Jatropha is a perennial, lasting up to 50 years without replanting.
In fact the “cake”, the portion of the seed left over after extraction of the
seed’s oil, is full of nitrogen fixing compounds making it an excellent organic
fertilizer. After 4 or 5 years of treatment with cake the soil of this
originally non-agricultural land is suitable for planting food crops or trees
for reforestation.
Jatropha Offers Growth for India's Rural Economy
“On the hilly grasslands of the western state of Maharashtra,
India, near the village of Malegaon, Maruti Chindu and his tribe of some 40 men
and women busily plant jatropha saplings. The saplings are expected to bear seed in
three to four years, one of dozens of new biodiesel projects being planned by
private firms to feed India's galloping energy needs. Once the trees start
bearing seeds, they will continue the yields for the next 30 years without a
break.
Sunflowers and Corn to Fire Up Northern Uganda Bioenergy Company
Located in Uganda, the aim of Green Energy (U) Ltd,
among others, is to organize the production of feedstocks like sesame
(simsim), sunflower, and corn/maize for the manufacture of biofuels.
Reflecting Sir Richard Banson's commitment to the Clinton Global
Initiative focusing on biofuels, the company plans to organize small
farmers, beginning from Northern and Eastern Uganda and eventually many
parts of Africa to grow crops for processing into biofuels and other
products. As a consequence small farmers will improve their living
standards, and the world will use fuels that are benign to the
environment.
Global BioFuel Crops to Double Within the Decade
By 2015, it is estimated that the number of countries growing biotech
crops will "at least double", from 21 in 2005 to around 40. The number of biotech farmers globally
will increase from 8.5 million currently to 20 million, while the
global area planted with genetically modified crops will increase from
90 million hectare to 200 million hectare.
Differentiated Biodiesel Fuel From the beginning, Blue Sun’s management has focused on building a firm that produces the highest quality biodiesel in North America. Blue Sun is now seeking $20 million of growth capital to continue pursuing that goal. This infusion of growth capital in Blue Sun will allow management to: 1. Operate a differentiated business model that is integrated from beginning to end—from proprietary seed development to broad wholesale and retail fuel distribution; 2. Develop and secure low-cost, proprietary canola feedstock that delivers premium performance; 3. Produce high-quality, highly reliable refined B100 biodiesel (pure biodiesel); 4. Develop a broad, quality-focused distribution network; 5. Establish Blue Sun brand equity based on premium performance; 6. Build team on top of the experienced foundation of senior management; and, 7. Expand with the rapid growth of the biodiesel market. Success in building this integrated, differentiated business will yield attractive financial performance."

  Jatropha can produce up to ten times the amount of oil per acre compared to other plants.
LabLand's main emphasis is to develop improved and newer varieties of
Jatropha curcas needed for successful global energy plantation.     |
