Alternative Energy

As the world faces increased and unsustainable demands on its fossil fuel supplies, the only way to satisfy the world’s increasing energy needs now and in the future will be through the development of alternative energy solutions.

Primary alternative energy solutions include: hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, waste-to-energy, biogas, and biomass.

Curcas Oil N.V., and its Asian subsidiaries Alternative Energy Manufacturing Company Limited and PT Pengembangan Jarak, is intent on developing new, biomass alternative energy sources through the plantation, cultivation and processing of Jatropha seeds for manufacture into crude oil and further refined products. Jatropha itself has been hailed as one of the most promising alternative energy biomass crops for its rapid and long productive life cycle, resistance to disease, ability to be cultivated in marginal soils, non-competitiveness with food crops and high oil content per seed.

Our company is one of the leaders in terms of employing sustainable and culturally-sensitive agricultural practices in emerging Asian markets to help the world meet its growing demand for alternative energy sources. And by working for a fair and equitable reward structure among all stakeholders, Curcas Oil is ensuring that our alternative energy solution is good for the world and for the local worker and is thus justly sustainable.
