Biofuels: Moving the Planet

Biofuels are here to stay. It's not a matter of price, it's all about sustainability. We need energy sources that are not going to be depleted over time. But, of course we need them to be produced without endangering our environment. In a few words: fuels need to be renewable and sustainable.

Biofuels production technologies will become more and more efficient and affordable. No doubt. Computers were once huge and expensive and rapidly evolved in our modern and relatively cheap PC. The same will happen with biofuels technology.

The UN has published a worth reading report on biofuels production and implications: Sustainable Bioenergy: A Framework for Decision Makers. You can find in this paper a good resource to understand the impacts of biofuels on food security, biodiversity and climate change.

This site is devoted to provide up-to-date information and offer quality consulting services for the biofuels industry professionals and managers that look for solutions to their day-to-day needs and challenges. Our team has more than 20 years of combined experience in biofuels production. From ethanol through biogas and biodiesel.

Miraculous fruit: High quality protein and biofuels

Dr. Karsten Jochims arrived in Nicaragua in the '80s to help in the research efforts to identify potential energy crops to produce biofuels. Soon he found his passion: the potential of a miraculous fruit known as Jicaro (Nicaragua), Cirian (Mexico) or Morro (Central America). This fruit grows naturally in marginal lands mostly used for pasture. Its pulp contains sugars that can be fermented to produce ethanol and the protein rich seeds (5% of the fruit weight) contain 30-37% high quality oil. After 27 years of hard work, research and specific technology development Dr. Karsten and associates have come up with a business plan to take this promising project to the next level. Read more>>
