Jatropha becomes important |
|
Tuesday, 05 September 2006 |
Sunlabob is experiencing a strong interest of agencies wanting to explore the potential of Jatropha. In order to achieve an own understanding of the situation, Sunlabob took up contact with the PPM in Magdeburg in Germany, an institute that has experience of many years of working on the refinement of plant oils for industrial purposes. We also took up contact with the VWP, a cooperation of crafts enterprises researching the application of plant oils in agriculture and technology. For growing Jatropha Bagani was contacted, which has a good website about the plant. Close partnerships have been decided. What has become clear is that inspite of all the hype about Jatropha, a lot of technical and operational R&D still needs to be done in order to clarify various solutions and grasp the full potential.
