Out of this plant you can produce soap, force-feed, organic-pesticides and even organic fuel.
problem:
Further processing of Jatropha oil into bio-fuel is complex and cost intensive ...
solution:
An engine that can use the Jatropha oil directly after pressing.
problem:
Jatropha displacing the cultivation of food crops by small farmers
solution:
Do not blame the plant, this problem comes up because of efficiency and profitable thinking.
The reality is, that jatropha grows in dry and marginal soils - so it doesn’t stand in competition with other plants. It thrives even in the most barren soils of our world, and not only that, jatropha fertilized these soils and reclaims new productive land.
Sure, irrigation can increases the productivity, but nobody is forced to do so. Even several months of drought is absolutely not an issue for this plant.
By detoxifying the press cake we produce accomplished concentrate flour, produced for animal feedstock. The extracted poison can be further processed into a bio-pesticide, or even as a medical antibiotics.
Thus this plant is more then just an exceptional ...
The complete test phase is already passed.
Thus, an engine has been developed which not only runs on jatropha-oil, in principle it can run with every available oil.
Whether any vegetable oil or old used cooking oil from the kitchen.
This multi-function offers ideal conditions to be a part of independent self-care.
At the same time, as previously mentioned, the using of the jatropha oil can to be regarded as recycled waste product.
In our project, the press cake is attained as main product, and improving the soil, through the planting of jatropha.
