The Jatropha project aims to alleviate poverty in third world countries by the most sustainable means possible. This fits seamlessly within TNT’s efforts to fight the root causes of hunger. And by the cultivation of Jatropha trees, TNT can compensate for its own CO2 emissions which will help TNT reach its goal to be carbon neutral in the year 2015. The Jatropha project is also completely aligned with WFP’s goal to support long term solutions to the hunger challenges.

The cultivation of Jatropha tackles several challenges in one go:

• The alleviation of poverty and protection from food shortages. By growing and selling the Jatropha nuts, farmers’ income levels will improve in a more sustainable way, providing food security.
• It fights the financial problems in Malawi with the creation of an additional income for farmers, and the replacement of fossil-fuel import with bio-energy production.
• Growing Jatropha trees has positive effects on the environment as it produces ‘green’ fuels, compensates for CO2 emissions an prevents deforestation.
• It combats the energy crisis in Malawi as Jatropha produces sources of energy (e.g. candles and firewood)

2nd JatrophaWorld Africa Speakers Prof. Bart Muys and Ir. Wouter Achten along with their colleague Wouter Maes from Belgium’s Katholieke Universiteit Leuven sent a clear message to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) rebutting the controversial findings.

Here were some of the key flaws they highlighted in the Gerbens-Leenes et al findings:

• The data used by the authors (Gerbens-Leenes et al) were wrong. Instead of using data of real water used by jatropha, they summed the total rainfall and irrigation: the actual water used will be only a fraction of this sum, particularly in regions with very intense rainfall events; this has caused a considerable overestimation of the water footprint.
• The other parameters necessary to calculate the water footprint of jatropha ( ffat, fdiesel, and HHVdiesel) were unfounded. The article they cited as reference did not match up to the figures they used.
• The authors only used data of very young Jatropha plantations. Jatropha is a woody species, and at the beginning of its life, Jatropha, like other woody species, invests mainly in non-reproductive tissues, such as stem and root biomass. Mature jatropha plants invest considerably less in non-reproductive tissue and more in reproductive tissues, hence the water footprint decreases with age. Therefore, ignoring the particularities of a woody species additionally overestimated the water footprint. For a correct calculation of water footprint, the entire life span should be taken into account.
• The authors used data of ONLY 5 jatropha plantations. They also failed to check whether the agronomical practices in these plantations were adequate.
• A recent calculation of the water footprint in an Egyptian Jatropha plantation was only 16% of the Gerbens-Leenes estimate. Maes et al. gave a rough estimate, based on data on an Egyptian 1-year old plantation, and find that the water footprint under optimal irrigation was 65 m3/GJ, only 16% of the estimate of Gerbens-Leenes et al. However, it must be noted that the limited data currently available makes it is impossible for accurate caulculations of Jatropha’s WF.

Other world renowned Jatropha researchers have published similar rebuttals, rejecting the Gerbens-Leenes et al findings, including Raymond Jongschaap R.A.R. Blesgraaf, Thom Bogaard, E.N. van Loo and H.H.G. Savenije from University Wageningen and Delft.

>>Attend 2nd JatrophaWorld Africa<< to hear from Prof Bart Muys who will be speaking on the topic ‘First Worldwide Yield Model For Jatropha’ and Ir. Wouter Achten, who will be sharing on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Biodiesel Production!

Waterland Asia Food is a private limited liability corporation registered in The Netherlands and in Indonesia.

PT Waterland Asia Bio Ventures is a limited liability corporation registered and having a R&D center in Indonesia.

Waterland EP BioSciencon SDN BHD is a limited liability corporation registered and having a R&D center in Malaysia.

Jatro Waterland is a limited liability corporation registered in Indonesia, India, Singapore, Germany and Luxembourg and having a R&D center in Hydrabad-India.

Waterland 2SQR is a limited liability corporation registered in The Netherlands and Indonesia and having a R&D center in germany.

All above mention companies are one of the many affiliated companies of the WaterLand International group of companies.

WaterLand Asia Food is focused on the intercropping and multi-cropping of “food” crops technologies between Jatropha Curcas L plantations.  By intercropping and multi-cropping “food” crops with Jatropha, the programs become much more economically feasible and profitable for both the investors and the farmers.  However, as the plantations are expanded, the local markets are not sufficient to buy all of the “food” crops produced.  Export markets must be developed which requires high quality “food” crops and value added post-harvest processes.  WaterLand Asia Food provides the agronomy expertise and technologies as well as the international markets to make this possible and provides the farmers with the training, technologies, high caliber seeds and plant stocks, and a guaranteed purchase agreement for the “food” crops that are produced between the Jatropha.

Waterland BioScience has 6 R&D centers located in Indonesia, India, Vietnam, The Netherlands, Germany and Malaysia. Their mission and goals are:

• Develop data sets for chemical free organic Jatropha products and its impact on climate change, green house gas emission, carbon sequestration and EIA.
• R&D for generation of improved feedstock in Jatropha Curcas through interspecific hybridization and Marker Assisted Selection.
• Generation of homozygous parental lines through doubled haploidy technique in Jatropha
• Study and explore in research on develop cold tolerant Jatropha variety in the USA and North Vietnam.
• Research & Development of Energy and Food Integrated cropping systems;
• Bringing marginal lands into productive and sustainable production;
• Bringing biodiversity and restoring ecological balance to degraded or deforested lands;
• Helping to alleviate rural poverty and hunger and need for energy
• Bringing technology to enhance food security and energy self-sufficiency in rural areas;
• Supplying better technology and seeds for higher value and income, market, industry
• R&D on by-products of Jatropha as organic fertilizers, energy agro pellets, bio-pesticide, “natural” medicine, etc.
• Education and training material to farmers and community for better planet and quality of life

Waterland 2SQR is focused on the production technology of Bio Diesel and Jet Fuel. It has a worldwide patent license on an innovative and highly sustainable bio fuel process (the Enzymatic E-Bio Diesel process). E-Bio Diesel, a fuel which distinctly differs from conventional biodiesel, was designed as a fully soluble, high quality bio-additive to blend with fossil diesel. In E-Bio Diesel production the glycerol is not separated from the fuel, but uniquely kept in solution resulting in a fuel-yield of virtually 100%. This alone is changing the scope of the proposition and the potential dramatically, placing E-Bio Diesel above all biodiesel propositions in terms of profitability.

The E-Bio Diesel process offers numerous advantages compared to the chemically catalyzed biodiesel process. The process works at mild temperature conditions and allows the utilization of bio-ethanol, while conventional biodiesel is produced with fossil based and toxic methanol. E-Bio Diesel, on the other hand, is made of 100% renewable, biological feedstock and consequently actually a true ‘bio-diesel’.

Since the formation of by-products is avoided, no energy intense purification of the fuel is necessary before utilization. This causes, in combination with the milder reaction temperature, a very small energy demand. Downstream processing for purification of E-Bio Diesel is not necessary, no waste water or other waste streams are produced. The only waste is an amount of less than 0.1% inactive enzyme, based on the fuel, which is an excellent feedstock for biogas production.

PT Waterland Asia Bio Ventures is the joint venture cooperation between Waterland International Group, State-owned forestry, local & national government, local farmers group, community learning center and JAFA (Jatropha Farmers) Foundation in Indonesia. Starting from production and exporting of wood waste Biomass products to Jatropha plantations and crude PPO Jatropha oil.
