Jatropha Curcas

Jatropha Curcas
Jatropha curcas is a non-edible fuel stock.
Growing and using jatropha does not affect the
price of food, such as corn, grain, and sugar,
all of which are currently being used to fuel
cars, ships and planes. If the United States was
to consider using edible food stock to fuel the
800 million cars the 2 billion people in worlds
poorest nations would suffer due to the rise in
food prices. The plant, originating in Central
America, has now spread to other tropical and
subtropical countries. Today the crop is mainly
grown in Asia and Africa where it is used as a
biofuel. It is resistant to arid conditions and
poor soils. It can be planted in the desert and
as such does not compete with food crops. The
seeds contain 30 oil that can be processed to
produce a high-quality biodiesel fuel, usable in
any standard diesel engine.

Desert Center, CA

Desert Center, in Riverside County, California,
is an unincorporated town (pop. 125) located in
the Colorado Desert of Southern California, mid
way between the cities of Indio and Blythe at
the junction of Interstate 10 and State Route
177 (Desert Center Rice Road). The 1980s saw a
surge of growth in Desert Center as jojoba gained
popularity. The sandy soil, and dry weather make
the area ideal for cultivation of hardy desert
plants whose oil is used chiefly in cosmetic
products. Jatropha has many of the same
characteristics of jojoba, making this area an
ideal location for the cultivation of Jatropha.

Biodiesel Fuel

• Biodiesel Fuel Energy that you Grow
• The concept dates back to 1885 when Dr. Rudolph
  Diesel built the first diesel engine with the
  full intention of running it on a vegetative
  source. In 1970 scientists discovered that the
  viscosity of vegetable oil could be reduced in a
  simple chemical process called transesterification
  and that it could work well in the modern diesel
  engine.
• This fuel is called Biodiesel.
• Biodiesel produces 37 less carbon monoxide, 78
  less carbon dioxide, 100 less sulfur dioxide
  emissions and 84 less particulate matter. It
  provides a 90 reduction in cancer risks.
• Biodiesel is cheaper than mineral oil diesel.
• Biodiesel can be used alone or in any ratio with
  mineral oil diesel to fuel any diesel engine the
  diesel engine does not need to be modified in any
  way to run on bio diesel.
• Biodiesel extends the life of diesel engines.

Jatropha Premier Biofuel Feedstock

• Jatropha Farming Bio-Diesel, Inc. Solar Fields
  USDA Conservation Program
• Farming Biodiesel is working to become the
  leading cost effective producer of Jatropha oil
  in North America. Through our production of
  Jatropha oil and Jatropha plants, our company,
  Farming Biodiesel, is emerging as a reliable
  commercial producer in the worlds biofuels
  industry.
• Due to our Plantation planed size 3000 acres and
  farm plan we have designed the solar field to
  help us qualify for the USDA Conservation program
  that reimburses portions certain expenses, such
  as wells, shelter for animals and wildlife .These
  shelters will be use for mounting the panels .
• We have designated over 2 miles at 40 feet wide
  to start the solar field , This will not effect
  or diminish the area we use to plant Jatropha .
  
• The steel construction company that will erect
  the need buildings for biogas plant will also
  build Shelters/mounting system.

Capital Markets
Biofuels Capital Markets Climate change worries
coupled with high oil prices and increasing
government support top a set of drivers fueling
soaring rates of investment in the renewable
energy and energy efficiency industries,
according to a trend analysis report from the UN
Environment Program. Investors Flock to
Renewable Energy and Efficiency Technologies The
report says investment capital flowing into
renewable energy climbed from 80 billion in 2005
to a record 100 billion in 2006. As well, the
renewable energy sector's growth "although still
volatile ... is showing no sign of abating.
Increasing investment in renewable energy is
evidenced by 71 billion invested into companies
and new sector opportunities in 2006, a 43 jump
from 2005 (and up 158 over the last two years.
The trend has continued in 2008 with investments
estimated at 185 billion). BP and D1 Oils Form
Joint Venture to Develop Jatropha Biodiesel
Feedstock Under the terms of the agreement, BP
and D1 Oils intend to invest around 160 million
over the next five years. D1 Oils will contribute
into the joint venture their 172,000 hectares of
existing plantations Virgin CEO Richard
Branson, Pledges 3 Billion to Alternative Energy
to Combat Global Warming - Along with investing
3 billion in alternative fuels over the next
four years, he's also hard at work developing a
new kind of fuel. Down the line, say Branson and
Imperium Renewables CEO John Plaza, biofuel
producers are more interested in Jatropha, a
thorny plant that grows well on non-agricultural
land in Latin America and Africa.

Benefits of Jatropha Biodiesel
Easy to Cultivate Long Productive Life The
Jatropha plant is undemanding of soil type and
grows producing seeds and revenues for up to 50
years. Does Not Compete with Food Jatropha can
be grown on land unsuitable for food crops Lower
Cost of Production Jatropha has a lower cost of
production than many other oils because its
chemical make-up is so close to diesel. High
Yield - The oil yield per acre is among the
highest of tree born seeds. Better than Other
Vegetable Oils Tests demonstrate that out of
various oils, including palm, groundnut,
cottonseed, rapeseed, soy and sunflower, the
lowest exhaust gas emissions were obtained with
Jatropha oil. Government Priority The
Federal Government and the State of California
are offering many incentives and rebates for the
production of Jatropha Crude oil.

Farming Biodiesel, Inc. Progress Report
Fuel Comparison Bio-diesel is the only
alternative fuel to have fully completed the
health effects testingrequirements of the Clean
Air Act. The use of bio-diesel in a conventional
diesel engine results in a substantial reduction
of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and
particulate matter compared to emissions from
diesel fuel. In addition, the exhaust emissions
of sulfur oxides and sulfates (major components
of acid rain) from bio-diesel are essentially
eliminated compared to diesel. Of the major
exhaust pollutants, both unburned hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides are ozone or smog forming
precursors. The use of bio-diesel results in a
substantial reduction of unburned hydrocarbons.
Emissions of nitrogen oxides are either slightly
reduced or slightly increased depending on the
duty cycle of the engine and testing methods
used. Based on engine testing, using the most
stringent emissions testing protocols required by
EPA for certification of fuels or fuel additives
in the U.S., the overall ozone (smog) forming
potential of the hydrocarbon exhaust emissions
from bio-diesel is nearly 50 percent less than
that measured for diesel fuel.

Renewable Fuel Requirements
Energy Policy Act (EPA Act) of 2005 stipulates
that a specific amount of renewable fuel has to
be used in the nationwide gasoline pool, which is
likely to increase every year to reach 7.5
billion gallons by 2012," says Frost Sullivan
Industry Analyst.

Economic Summary
Why Jatropha Trees? Many industry experts predict
that in the next 10 years Jatropha will become
the major biodiesel oil feedstock. In order to
accelerate our company's acquisition of market
share, we are offering individuals and
corporations the opportunity to purchase Jatropha
trees which we will plant, cultivate and manage
on our farms located in California. The trees
will produce seeds which are harvested annually,
processed into oil and sold to biodiesel
refineries and sold to the Aviation
Industry. Why Solar ? With the advances of solar
technology today we can produce over 4 megawatts
of Clean power while providing shelter for our
cattle. This combination of processes not only
save money on implementation but also
complements both technologies and does not take
away from the growing area. Power generated will
be sold to California Edison for 0.15kw. Why
Biogas? FBI Farms is the first Energy company to
set up a 15,000 head Black Angus beef farm to
produce 9 Megawatts of clean Energy from Methane
to be sold to California Edison for 0.15kw and
sell premium organic beef wholesale. Why This
Farm? All These processes put together allows
the farm to produce Large amounts of food, fuel,
and energy with no chemicals fertilizers
,pesticides, hazards waits or carbon foot print.
We are committed to be an example of how America
and the world can be Energy Independent and
create enormous job opportunities here in the
U.S. which will help in the recovery of this
economic recession .
