Biogreen Oil B.V. is a Netherlands corporation with operations around the world. Our mission is to develop renewable and sustainable sources of biofuel.

We plan to fulfill this mission primarily by cultivating jatropha curcas, a crop with the potential to yield fuel without squeezing out food production or reducing biodiversity, and with the potential to help rural economies in some of the poorest parts of the world.

Biogreen Oil cultivates jatropha primarily through plantations which we directly operate.
Biogreen Oil actively intercrops alternative plantings for local food production and additional biofuel feedstock.
Biogreen Oil plans to use state-of-the-art biomass conversion processes. It will leverage the technology used by other feedstocks for its Jatropha Biofuel processing.
Biogreen Oil employs partners with the best technology for seed oil extraction, ensuring optimum results from all plantation operation.
Biogreen Oil’s extraction and production facilities provide local farmers with opportunities to use marginal lands on which to plant jatropha. Biogreen Oil will manages all downstream operations ensuring the farmer can concentrate on what they do best, growing plants.

In addition to Jatropha, Biogreen Oil is developing other high yielding, non food competing biofuel energy feedstocks. www.biogreenoil.com
