All above mention companies are one of the many affiliated companies of the WaterLand International group of companies.

WaterLand Asia Food is focused on the intercropping and multi-cropping of “food” crops technologies between Jatropha Curcas L plantations.  By intercropping and multi-cropping “food” crops with Jatropha, the programs become much more economically feasible and profitable for both the investors and the farmers.  However, as the plantations are expanded, the local markets are not sufficient to buy all of the “food” crops produced.  Export markets must be developed which requires high quality “food” crops and value added post-harvest processes.  WaterLand Asia Food provides the agronomy expertise and technologies as well as the international markets to make this possible and provides the farmers with the training, technologies, high caliber seeds and plant stocks, and a guaranteed purchase agreement for the “food” crops that are produced between the Jatropha.

Waterland BioScience has 6 R&D centers located in Indonesia, India, Vietnam, The Netherlands, Germany and Malaysia. Their mission and goals are:

• Develop data sets for chemical free organic Jatropha products and its impact on climate change, green house gas emission, carbon sequestration and EIA.
• R&D for generation of improved feedstock in Jatropha Curcas through interspecific hybridization and Marker Assisted Selection.
• Generation of homozygous parental lines through doubled haploidy technique in Jatropha
• Study and explore in research on develop cold tolerant Jatropha variety in the USA and North Vietnam.
• Research & Development of Energy and Food Integrated cropping systems;
• Bringing marginal lands into productive and sustainable production;
• Bringing biodiversity and restoring ecological balance to degraded or deforested lands;
• Helping to alleviate rural poverty and hunger and need for energy
• Bringing technology to enhance food security and energy self-sufficiency in rural areas;
• Supplying better technology and seeds for higher value and income, market, industry
• R&D on by-products of Jatropha as organic fertilizers, energy agro pellets, bio-pesticide, “natural” medicine, etc.
• Education and training material to farmers and community for better planet and quality of life

Waterland 2SQR is focused on the production technology of Bio Diesel and Jet Fuel. It has a worldwide patent license on an innovative and highly sustainable bio fuel process (the Enzymatic E-Bio Diesel process). E-Bio Diesel, a fuel which distinctly differs from conventional biodiesel, was designed as a fully soluble, high quality bio-additive to blend with fossil diesel. In E-Bio Diesel production the glycerol is not separated from the fuel, but uniquely kept in solution resulting in a fuel-yield of virtually 100%. This alone is changing the scope of the proposition and the potential dramatically, placing E-Bio Diesel above all biodiesel propositions in terms of profitability.

The E-Bio Diesel process offers numerous advantages compared to the chemically catalyzed biodiesel process. The process works at mild temperature conditions and allows the utilization of bio-ethanol, while conventional biodiesel is produced with fossil based and toxic methanol. E-Bio Diesel, on the other hand, is made of 100% renewable, biological feedstock and consequently actually a true ‘bio-diesel’.

Since the formation of by-products is avoided, no energy intense purification of the fuel is necessary before utilization. This causes, in combination with the milder reaction temperature, a very small energy demand. Downstream processing for purification of E-Bio Diesel is not necessary, no waste water or other waste streams are produced. The only waste is an amount of less than 0.1% inactive enzyme, based on the fuel, which is an excellent feedstock for biogas production.

PT Waterland Asia Bio Ventures is the joint venture cooperation between Waterland International Group, State-owned forestry, local & national government, local farmers group, community learning center and JAFA (Jatropha Farmers) Foundation in Indonesia. Starting from production and exporting of wood waste Biomass products to Jatropha plantations and crude PPO Jatropha oil.
