In San Diego, California, US, developer and producer of jatropha seeds SG Biofuels is to establish the world’s most advanced jatropha R&D development centre.
The new 42,000 square foot greenhouse will feature the largest collection of jatropha genetic material and a laboratory where the company’s team of biologists can work towards developing jatropha as a low-cost, sustainable source of oil.
The company already owns an ever-increasing collection of jatropha genetic resources, which includes over 6,000 unique genotypes, plus a wide array of jatropha genetic traits.
