Substitution to Palm Oil as Biodiesel - Jatropha

D 1 Oil plc (D1) www.d1plc.com a UK based company has pioneered an end to end solution for biodiesel production from least known and in-expensive Jatropha plant which has a higher oil yield percentage of 40% as compared to world primary and most traded commodity i.e. crude palm oil(CPO) from ancient oil palm tree's fresh fruit bunch (FFB). The density or optimum oil palm trees' planting per acre is 135 trees, average yield 20 MT per hectare.( 1 hectare - 2.47 acres ).

D1' palm oil "modular" mill processor a scalable and portable technology create an competitive advantage for small estate holder in third world countries which do not have the basic infrastructure - accessible roads but located at remote part of the world on hilly plateau and lack of basic irrigation and fertilisers supplies. D1 provide remote web based support and trouble shooting service by its technical support team based in Middlesbrough, UK.

Note: Jatropha oil extract is non-edible vegetable oils suitable for producing biodiesel in volume at low cost.
