Founded by Paul Dalton, Dream Fuels, Limitada, of San Jose, Costa Rica and My Dream Fuel, LLC, (MDF) in the United States are two companies which act as the exclusive worldwide distributors of the tissue culture cloning technology of Labland Biotech of Mysore, India www.lablandbiodiesel.com. Dr. Sudheer Shetty of Ladland has put together a team of Ph.D.’s to revolutionize the approach taken with biodiesel in general and the development of Jatropha in particular. Unlike soybeans, corn and many other agricultural crops, Jatropha can be cultivated on arid and semi arid non-agricultural land. Thus, growing Jatropha is never a question of having to choose between land for food or land for fuel. In fact, in most countries, with the use of our proprietary soil conditioner, no irrigation is needed nor the application of fertilizers after the first seed harvest.
Also, on a per acre basis, Clonal Jatropha can yield up to 10 times the amount of oil as other sources of biodiesel. Finally, Jatropha is a perennial, lasting up to 50 years without replanting. In fact the “cake” (portion of the seed left over after extraction of the seed’s oil) is full of nitrogen fixing compounds making it an excellent organic fertilizer. Finally, on average one acre of a Jatropha Plantation can capture four (4) tons of CO2 per year.
MDF offers two major programs, one directed to the biodiesel production market, the other directed at business in general. For the biodiesel production market MDF offers the opportunity for refineries to purchase Jatropha Oil at a flat rate of $2.50 per gallon for 5 years and for an additional 5 years at $2.00 below market rate as defined by a mutually agreed upon index. The general business program which goes by the name of “10 For 10 Fuel Discount Program”, involves the payment of a set amount of money per gallon or liter currently being used by a business for as little as 10 months and receiving a specific discount on a per gallon or per liter basis for each unit of fuel consumed over as long as the next 10 years. Both programs involve either the purchase of a leasehold interest in our Jatropha Plantations and/or a Joint Venture Agreement. In either case, programs can and are being implemented on both land owned by MDF or the business or Joint Venture Partner.
