Cutting-edge R&D
INTRODUCING A HIGH-PERFORMANCE BIOTECH PLATFORM
The pioneer in large-scale Jatropha cultivation to realize CARBON REMOVAL profitably
The world of sustainability is facing a dilemma: to deliver on net-zero commitments while preserving profitability. Yet the science is clear that even with aggressive emission reductions, we must remove 10–12 gigatons of CO₂ annually by 2050 to reach the UN net-zero goals. JATROPOWER is providing a carbon removal solution that is certifiable, scalable, and commercially attractive.
In years of extensive R&D, JATROPOWER has developed one of the very few solutions to realize CARBON REMOVAL profitably and projects supported by its technology have been awarded the GOLD STANDARD certification for sustainable carbon credits.
High-yielding BIO-CCS plantations
Our new generation Jatropha curcas plants – significantly upgraded without using genetic engineering – thrive on wasteland, capture large quantities of CO₂, and generate important revenues from oil and edible protein. With artificial irrigation only used in the initial phase of plantation, no scarce water is depleted. No green energy is needed, and there is no need for deforestation.
Seeds
JATROPOWER is the pioneer in the successful breeding of High-Performance Jatropha that thrives on wasteland. Our breakthrough is the development of a High-Performance Jatropha, which is edible and thus produces an extremely high-quality protein in addition to bio-oil, which can now also be used within the food sector.
Certifiable CO2 removal
By using previously unproductive soils, the sequestration performance in the plant biomass of corresponding plantations can be certified and thus traded as part of the value added. Our High-Performance Jatropha is therefore the basis for what is arguably the only form of CO2 removal from the atmosphere that acts profitably.
