CJP to highlight nonfood biodiesel crops for sustainable aviation & transport fuel

The 5th Global Jatropha Hi-tech Integrated Nonfood Biodiesel Farming & Technology Training Programme is being held September 5-9, 2012 at Jaipur, India.
The event will be a 5 day ’one stop shop’ assembling the various nonfood biofuel feedstocks value chains with featured discussion of new feedstocks and accelerating the commercialization of sustainable mobility. This is the only dedicated event for the fast growing nonfood biodiesel sector where the full range of biodiesel crops and technologies can be studied, viewed and seen by all stakeholders at a glance.
While biodiesel can be derived from a wide range of plant sources, many of those sources are used for food, and the diversion of food stocks to fuel carries serious economic, social and ethical implications. Sustainable, second-generation biofuels are needed, based on nonfood biodiesel crops and trees that do not compete with food crops and can be grown on marginal land. Nonfood oil crops offer great promise to contribute a significant ideal feedstock for high energy density transportation fuels, such as biodiesel as well as green diesel, green jet fuel and green gasoline.
