Governments

The impact of volatile oil prices, increasing energy demands and environmental pressures are forcing governments, especially those in developing nations, to develop new local sources for renewable energy. Many government agencies are entering into collaborations with industry and private sector associations and organizations to support the development of new industries for energy production within their respective countries.

In addition to energy security and emissions reductions, key goals for governments also include economic development and the creation of jobs, particularly in rural areas, and turning marginal, underutilized land into productive plantations.

SG Biofuels provides governments and their agencies with the opportunity to validate the opportunity presented by Jatropha in their respective countries and establish strong partnerships with industry-leading players across the complete value chain – from crop science through plantation development and downstream logistics.

From feasibility studies evaluating the market opportunity for Jatropha based on agronomic and economic factors to the establishment of research and development partnerships to test, develop and validate region-specific materials, SG Biofuels provides governments with a fully-integrated approach to developing a viable Jatropha industry.
