Sitemap | Derris Indica is CJP's New Nonfood Biodiesel Crop for Profitable Sustainability [01-SEP-09] The years of continuous research, experiments and trials have given Centre for Jatropha Promotion & Biodiesel (CJP) a big breakthrough in the search for a viable alternative feedstock for biodiesel. After having a number of successful field trials CJP has honor to establish Derris Indica- an untapped resource as alternative source for Bio- Diesel industry of future and is happy to announce the much awaited commercial release of Derris Indica crop cultivation technology (DICT). | |
CJP Assesses Pongamia, Moringa, Castor, Simarouba, Algae etc. as New Sustainable Biodiesel Crops [03-MAY-10] n a bid to develop new feedstocks with greater sustainability and volume, such as Jatropha and others to achieve higher sustainable production outputs to meet the growing demand, of biodiesel CJP’s R & D centre started studying and identifying some of the most cost-effective and environment-friendly nonfood biodiesel crops and has identified, developed and cultivated as many as 14 non-food oil crops. With years of continuing research, experiments and trials has provided an adage to find and develop 2nd generation biodiesel feedstock with low cost input technology. Among the crops identified as potential sources of biodiesel are Simmondsia chinesis, Pongamia (derris indica), Garcinia indica, Moringa oleifera, Madhuca indica, Ricinus communis, Simarouba glauca, Citrullus colocynthis, algae etc. | |
India can become net exporter of crude oil by 2020: CJP [27-OCT-10] The combination of rising oil consumption and relatively flat production has left India increasingly dependent on imports to meet its petroleum demand. In 2009, India was the sixth largest net importer of oil in the world, importing nearly 2.1 million bbl/d, or about 70 percent, of its oil needs. India is at the fifth place in the overall consumption of fossil fuels. These fuels cause air pollution and are a major source of green house gas emission, thus are behind the climate change phenomenon. In contrast, biofuels are renewable sources of energy; hence, they can supplement hydrocarbon fuels, assist in their conservation, as well as mitigate their adverse effects on the climate.In this context Centre for Jatropha Promotion & Biodiesel (CJP) is targeting to plant 20 billion biodiesel trees plantation by 2013. While highlighting the CJP’s plan Mr. Maharshi CEO said, “At present India imports around 800 million bbl crude oil per annum. To make this deficit good India needs 8 million more well with an investment of US$ 4 trillion. Contrary to this a plantation of 20 billion biodiesel trees with an investment of US$ 40 billion can produce 900 million bbl crude per annum with amazing other benefit of environment, employment and rural electrification. CJP invite young dynamic ambitious guys to turn their passion into profit by joining (Bio‐business partners) our biodiesel tree plantation “2020 biodiesel Programme”.CJP and its Bio‐business partners shall work to make 2020 biodiesel programme - a sustainable business for the benefit of the rural poor and investors alike. Our unique market position – at the interface of social entrepreneurs, social investors and international development organizations – enables us to successfully promote and implement this project. | |
