How Can A Jatropha Curcas Green Oil High-yield Investment Programme Provide An Ethical Biofuel?

We are using more oil than we are finding. Though experts disagree about the time scale, most agree that the rate at which we are consuming oil is now greater than the rate at which new reserves are being found, indeed the chairman of BP, Peter Sutherland, was quoted as indicating that there are only approximately 42 years of crude oil supply left based on current use; that we have already entered the depletion phase and are on a downhill slope of terminal decline. In short, the oil is running out.

Combine this with worries about greenhouse gases and global warming and you can understand why governments throughout the world are urgently seeking alternative energy sources.

That is precisely the opinion of the Indian government, which is years ahead of the rest of the world in developing Jatropha green oil as the renewable energy source of choice. It has committed some 27 million acres to its propagation.

Dismissed by generations of tropical farmers as a poisonous weed, suitable only as hedgerow, Jatropha Curcas grows best on land which is unsuitable for food crops, preferably between 20º north and 20º south of the Equator. It is a hardy perennial, producing fruit which is easily crushed and from which you can extract oil of a similar calorific value to crude oil.

Jatropha oil is already used to power diesel transport as well as electricity generating stations and has successfully completed trials in an Air New Zealand jumbo jet. It is a remarkable little tree.

Planted one thousand to an acre, Jatropha Curcas trees are best grown to a height of 2 metres and consistently produce a litre of Jatropha oil in a year using basic farming techniques found the world over.

That may not sound very much – though an acre of Jatropha trees would produce enough oil to run a small diesel car (without any modification) doing average mileage – and that is perhaps why Jatropha Curcas has never been considered by Western nations. It is reasonably labour intensive to farm and will not grow reliably outside the tropics. But within this apparent weakness lie its greatest benefits.

By providing farmers in poor countries with seedlings, showing them how to tend them then guaranteeing to buy the produce at a fair price, you enable them to literally grow themselves out of poverty. With no hint of charity or hand-outs, their self respect grows alongside.

There are many poor countries and millions of acres of poor land in the tropics. Introduce Jatropha Curcas plants and the poor land becomes an asset. A great many such countries will be able to achieve energy independence in a matter of years, with benefits to their balance of payments and national prosperity. They will not be competing with large industrialised countries: the plant simply will not grow there.

But to start poor countries on this virtuous spiral requires investment … not very much, but more than they can manage themselves. This is where the small investor in the western world, perhaps eager to build a better pension fund, can by investing in Jatropha Curcas make a significant investment return whilst helping tackle third world poverty and global warming.

A recent investment programme, managed by a UK-based company, is enabling small investors to invest in a Jatropha Fund that buys Jatropha Curcas trees in locations round the tropics.

Fully insured against civil unrest and acts of God, the investment seems remarkably safe. But the outstanding feature of this programme is the profit available, which can represent as much as 93% of your investment in a year.

Patricia Ellis from marketing agents Jatropha Green Oil Investment comments, “This is an exciting new green investment opportunity which has the genuine potential of generating a total return of 345% meaning that an initial investment of £10,000 (€11,120.00) would grow to £44,500 (€49,484.00) in the space of five years.

It is also great news for those with lower performing pensions as they can now invest in Jatropha Curcas via a SIPP pension scheme.”
