Biodiesel in Haiti, Appropriate Technology, & Micro-LendingBy Robert Miller on Saturday, April 14, 2007.

Below, I have transcribed a small portion of her comments and then linked to a pdf file containing the complete testimony. You will also find mention of the Jatropha plant in the Inter-American Development Bank's recently published biofuels report in the section on Haiti [link]. Also, I spoke on panel at the US Institute of Peace yesterday (see my previous blog post [link]) and Haitian Ambassador to the United States Raymond Joseph raised the issue of biofuel production--and Jatropha in particular--in his opening remarks. At long last, it seems Jatropha and biofuels are receiving the attention and clout they deserve. Please see below for Dr. Forman's helpful overview of Jatropha in Haiti. Follow this link to go directly to the full testimony [link].
Why Jatropha? "Jatropha curcas is an important feedstock for the production of biofuels. Its widespread use in India and Egypt is gaining popularity as a quick growing source of oil-bearing nuts that can be pressed to produce biodiesel products. Jatropha has also been a crop of choice in development programs in Africa where local villages have grown Jatropha on small plots of land and have hand-pressed the oil for use in generators, sewing machines and small motors. Glycerin, a by product of Jatropha oil, can also be used to produce soap. "Jatropha has also been proven to have strong anti-erosion qualities which make it ideally suited for use in Haiti. A recent study on watershed preservation commissioned by USAID this year reinforced this fact, adding that it was more effective than the tree-planing efforts that have been used to help reforest Haiti. Follow this link to read the complete text [link]. Seed Oil Technology
Because we are talking Jatropha, I wanted to point out the Kick Start Oil Press [link], which will extract oil from sunflower, sesame, and other oil seeds. The filter produces clear, cold-pressed, cooking oil ready for direct sale, biofuel processing (Jatropha), or consumption (when used with other seed oils). Micro Credit Lending
The second organization, which has the market share of the Western Hemisphere is FINCA. While predominantly in Central and Latin America, FINCA does have an evolving presence in Haiti. They too offer small business loans and can be considered the powerhouse of micro-credit in the region. Information can be found on their website [link]. |

Bio-Diesel
Dear Mr. Peter Kimaile:
I write you this message from Spain. Actually I'm looking for a company or plantation in Kenya that can supply vegetable oil from Jathropha to start a Bio-Diesel company. How many oil can you supply in a day with your actual plantation? Do you need oil extraction machinery? If your volume of oil is interesting, i can try to open a Small-Medium Bio-Diesel production company in your country.
Please send me some more information.
Thanks.

Nigerian Market for Biodiesel
Dear Sir,
Nigeria is the best place to do the Jathropha/biodiesel business in Africa. Why? Reason is that:
Nigeria is world's largest producer of cassava. Cassava yields ethanol.
2. Nigeria is fourth largest producer of palm oil.
3. Nigeria has vast arable lands that can be leased for Jathropha farming.
4. With a population of 140 million people, Biodiesel will be in hotter demand here than elsewhere in Africa.
Bring the business here, pls contact me. I am a lawyer here.

Nigerian Market for Biodiesel
Dear Sirs,
Nigeria is an emerging economy with lots of potentials. Acountry of 150 million people and the biggest economy in Africa.
I have done a lot of research concerning the Jathropha and Biodiesel needs in Nigeria. It is a project which will blossom right from the start.
We are the largest producers of cassava for ethanol and also palm oil. There are places here where hundreds of acres can be leased for Jathropha cultivation. Since there is a huge market, Biodiesel will be in hot demand provided it can run un the same car engines as petro-fuel.
I look to hook up with any foreign company with the technology for Biofuel and also the capacity to lease land for cultivation. I can arrange some co-operation from the government here. Pls send me an email in this regard to
emmajew@yahoo.com
Thanks

biodiesel technology
Our company possesses a unique technology of the manufacture of biodiesel from any vegetable oil.
The technology has recently been patented (an international patent), biodiesel was certificated in the UK in the end of 2007. The major part of equipment is a reactor. Input of the reactor is a mixture of a vegetable oil and methanol and output, which takes place in 7 seconds, is biodiesel with disseminations of glycerin. In the reactor a new kind of physical chemical processes occurs, which is caused by the inerton field generated in the reactor. The floor area of a module with the reactor is about 3 m^2. The module productivity is 3 tons of biodiesel per hour and hence 15,000 tons of biodiesel a year. The cost of manufacture of 1 liter of biodiesel with the use of the module is at least 50% cheaper than that of biodiesel manufactured by conventional chemical technologies. We are looking for businessman interested in the installation of our technology in the businessman's place. Contact e-mail address: krasnoh@iop.kiev.ua
