Are Investors Maximizing Returns on Jatropha? Understand Full Potential of Headline-Grabbing Jatropha Curcas L. for Social & Environmental Entrepreneurship at JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008, on 20-21 October .

Jatropha has been the buzzword on the lips of many Biofuel investors, Government Officials and researchers. The potential this plant has as an environmentally friendly and socially aware source of Biodiesel is astounding. As Jatropha is poised on the cusp of commercialization, Jatropha investors have stepped up their efforts to develop a viable source of Biodiesel, and some are already well on the road to success.

However, with so many new projects coming up, and a lack of RELIABLE information, many projects are only achieving mediocre results. Plagued with funding troubles, poor plantation management and lack of understanding of the Jatropha Curcas Plant, many projects are not performing at optimal productivity.

KEY Strategy #4 - Going Socially Responsible, Environmentally & Carbon Positive for Jatropha Projects

Jatropha’s major plus point is in its ability to grow on land that is usually not attractive for conventional agriculture. Jatropha is easy to establish, grows relatively quickly, and is hardy and drought tolerant.

The plant is by it very nature, environmentally friendly, and has the ability to reclaim non-arable land in arid and semi arid areas. These qualities also make this an ideal plant for development in the poorest regions in the world.

The long term success of Jatropha hinges on investors understanding the environmental and social benefits of the plant, and weaving these benefits into their Jatropha projects.

JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008 examines Jatropha’s impact on the environment, as well as how to make your Jatropha project more environmentally friendly and carbon positive.

JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008 also strongly believes in the cause of Jatropha for poverty alleviation, and will feature projects being conducted all over the world to serve this noble cause. In fact, one of the major discussions at JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008 will focus on Jatropha for Rural Poverty Alleviation & Development & Scaling up Rural Community Projects for Commercial Value.

Hear from key NGOs like WWF & GEXSI, as well as major Swiss research institute EMPA- Materials Science & Technology, who are currently making waves with their commitment towards mapping the environmental footprint of Jatropha with their interdisciplinary approach.

You will also learn about making your Jatropha Project eligible for Carbon Credits from Eco-Carbone, leading expert in identification and development of greenhouse gas emission reduction projects under the flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol (CDM and JI).

Is Jatropha environmentally friendly? Is your development project taking maximum advantage of the market situation? Find your answers and change the future of your Jatropha Project and the communities dependent on it at JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008.

KEY Strategy #5 - Mapping Global Biofuel blending specifications & demand for Jatropha Oil

Biodiesel derived from Jatropha is fast becoming recognized as a viable source of alternative fuel to meet the rising fuel demands of countries around the world. As technological developments stand today, Jatropha has the potential to serve as fuel to power automobiles, combined heat and power (CHP) plants and cooking stoves, just to name a few.

At this critical stage in Jatropha’s development, investors need to understand the evolving market for Jatropha oil and biodiesel, and capitalize on them. Alternative uses for Jatropha Oil will go a long way towards providing long term returns & sustainable development in the areas within which they work.

That’s why at JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008, we’ve arranged for a panel of experts who will share on the latest innovations in the use of Jatropha Oil.

Hear from BSH Bosch & Siemens Hausgerate GmbH and CleanStar Ventures, as they share insights on their latest developments, including using Jatropha in vehicles, generator sets & cooking stoves at JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008.

KEY Strategy #6 - Complete Utilization of Jatropha Curcas L, including Bio-waste, seedcake & waste.

An underexplored revenue stream for Jatropha is the utilization of the byproducts and the rest of the plant. Some of the major drawbacks include the toxicity of the plant, which renders much of the plant unfit for animal consumption.

However, at JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008, the University of Hohenheim will be sharing their insights on the potential for production of biofuel, livestock feed & pharmaceuticals from non-toxic genotypes of Jatropha.

You will also be able to participate in an authoritative workshop ‘Value Addition to Jatropha By-Products, which will look at the detoxification of the seedcake, solid combustion, biogas, medicinal use, fertilizing properties & bio-based chemical manufacturing options from Jatropha byproducts.

Jatropha’s byproducts are a largely neglected revenue stream. Stride ahead with your Jatropha investment today with the critical knowledge you will get from JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008.

KEY Strategy #7 - Evaluating Risk for a Realistic view of Jatropha Project Potential for long-term forecasting

Ideally, investors need to explore ways to make their Jatropha projects a low-risk venture with attractive returns. However, this assessment also needs to be realistic to ensure future returns and to attract private investors to their Jatropha projects.

At JatrophaWorld Hamburg 2008, we’ve put together a panel of investors, who will discuss methods to structure your Jatropha project to project lowered risk and attract funding from investors.
