Jatropower AG
A leading developer of seeds for non-food, carbon neutral biofuel
Jatropha curcas is an oil seed plant allowing production of sustainable, carbon neutral fuel from degraded soils in an economically viable way.

An innovative seed to facilitate production of new generation biofuel conforming to stricter sustainability guidelines through climate-smart agriculture.
Most tropical countries have high % of degraded land where crop profitability is under strain, e.g. Madagascar is estimated to have 10 million ha of such land.
Game changing non-toxic jatropha seeds and new cropping methods
Description
JATROPOWER has pioneered the development of seeds for non-toxic, edible varieties of jatropha, which could be a potential game changer for the sector. Multiple products possible: fuel oil, kernel meal as animal feed ingredient and shell as solid fuel
Our scalable and low-cost processing system for non-toxic jatropha seeds that would result in oil, kernel meal and shell is nearing operational status. We are presently researching novel cultivation systems for jatropha, such as short duration cultivation systems that would open vast new markets.
