Energy is indispensable in moving any society out of poverty. Making use of regenerative energy technologies through Biomass, for energy supply, is a sustainable approach to bridge the gap between poverty and sustainable development especially in rural communities and with regards to the MDGs.

Climate change, rising oil prices and the concern for future energy supplies, have led to a growing interest in the potentials of using biomass for energy purposes.

The world scientific community is convinced that global warming caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a reality. 20-30% global emissions is accounted for by Internal combustion engines . Sustainable production of renewable fuels offer an alternative to increasingly scarce fossil fuels that significantly contribute  to global warming.

GEO justifies its role as an Agro-Industrial company which will grow, harvest, extract and refine Jatropha curcas  oil  for Biofuels use. By-products such as presscake represents a suitable substrate for Biogas production as well as Biofertlizer and animal fodder, and can be burnt for power generation.

Jatropha grows in tropical and subtropical regions on non-arable, marginal and waste land, is relatively drought resistance, requires very little water, and doesnot compete with vital food crops for good agricultural land. Jatropha produces non-edible seeds with an oil content of upto 35%. The cultivation of Jatropha and other promising sustainable biofuel crops , offer an opportunity for developing countries to achieve sustainable growth.

Jatropha oil is excellent for use as fuel and for transformation into Biodiesel. The efficient use of its byproducts ensures that jatropha growing and processing is economically viable and energy efficient.
