GEM BioFuels begins crude jatropha oil production
Feedstock supplier GEM BioFuels has started commercial production of crude jatropha oil (CJO).
The company plans to make its first shipment of CJO, bound for Europe and Australia, early next month and expect the value of the initial shipment to be relatively low.
Paul Benetti, CEO of GEM BioFuels said: ‘The commencement of commercial jatropha oil production is a landmark for the company and follows several years of development and refinement of our owner/manager operating model.’
This development has confirmed the effectiveness of simple, cold press, screw expellers in producing high quality CJO.
The shipments of CJO will be used as straight vegetable oil fuel for power generation and also as feedstock for biodiesel and chemical production.
