Jatropha / R&D

Jatropha Research and Development

Over the last 5 years GFE Global created a “Proof of Concept” / R&D farm for the domestication of Jatropha Curcas L as a feedstock for biodiesel, electricity and ancillary products. 

The objective was to learn everything about the cultivation and processing of Jatropha Curcas L and the producing and selling of electrical power locally.
