Green Oil Programme

Cultivating trees to produce Green Oil – and ultimately energy – is the primary purpose of the programme managers. By entering into Tree Ownership through the Green Oil Programme, an investor is helping to build renewable oil resources on a very large scale whilst enjoying market-leading returns on their investment in the Green Energy sector.

It is important to remember that, as well as earning excellent revenue returns as well as capital growth, an investor is helping to reduce poverty and improve the environment.

Here is how you can invest in the Green Oil Programme

In this programme, trees cost £1.25 ($2) each

You can invest in this programme with Cash or via a SIPP for Tax free returns

You buy individual trees at £1.25 each, which are registered in your name. You own specific trees to which you have full title.

The minimum investment is £3,125 ($5,000) for a 35 year term

Returns are:
Revenue return year 1 = 9.8%
Revenue return year 2 = 19.7%
Revenue return years 3-10 = 29.5%
Revenue return years 11-35 = 14.8%

The trees continue to earn until they die, which can be up to 50 years, though 35
is more conservative. No capital appreciation is expected in this programme. 

There are no maximun investment in the Green Oil Programme

• Returns are based on 1.5 litre of Jatropha oil per tree, per year
• For the first 10 years you will receive 60% of your tree’s annual revenue
• From years 11-35 you will receive 30% of your tree’s annual revenue 

There are no set-up charges, no legal fees,and no annual maintenance

Here is an example of the returns you could achieve when investing in our Green Oil Programme

Green Oil Leasehold Programme

In the Green Oil Leasehold Programme you not only own the trees, you also own a 99-year lease on the land where the trees are growing.

Generally the freehold of the land is owned by either the Programme Manager itself, the country’s government, or an association of company of the Programme Manager. A legal lease is drawn up and entered in the national Land Registry (or equivalent) so the lease can become a balance sheet item for investing companies. There is a £50 a year ground rent and there is a single fee of around £500 for drawing up the lease. There are no other costs. 

• As well as income, the leasehold investment can also produce capital growth. Indeed it is suggested that (using the Crude Oil Lease Mineral Rights Model) the value of the lease could have trebled within tree years

• As well as oil, the trees produce fertiliser, latex and certain medicinal by-products which are also purchased from you.

Here is how you can invest in Green oil Leasehold Prgramme

As with the Green Oil Programme, trees cost £1,25 each for the investor but, because of the legal work  involved, the minimum investment is 12,500 trees which cost a total of £15,625. This includes the 99-year lease on the 12.5 acres (5 hectares) where they are growing. 

 You can invest in this programme with Cash or via a SIPP for tax free returns

Returns are:
Year 1 = 8.2%
Year 2 = 16.4%
Years 3 – 99 = 25.25% 

• There is no limit to your investment, subject to availability.
• Although the typical life of a Jatropha tree is 35-50 years, the leaseholder will have all their trees replaced at no cost to them, as and when necessary, to ensure a full 99 years’ return on their investment.
Annual ground rent fee of £50 – One off lease initiation fee: £500

Return figures are no guarantee of future income, but are managements fair and conservative reflection of current yields and product values in today’s markets. 

And here is an example of our conservative returns offered on our Leasehold Programme

Jatropha Investment News

Biodiesel and Jatropha Green Oil Investment Programmes Get Huge New Investment

South-East Asia welcomes huge new invstemnts in the production of biodiesel from Jatropha plantations, as far reaching as research through to oil refineries.

Here Is Some News Of The Growth In Investment In Jatropha Oil From India

Business-Standard.com has just recorded a new ‘invest in Jatropha’ deal between Tata Chemicals and JOil Pte whereby Tata acquired a thirty five percent stake in JOil. The deal was agreed so that Tata could access the expertise that JOil has built up in replicating ‘perfect’ Jatropha seedlings.

Tata Chemicals, a caustic soda and fertiliser manufacturer in Mumbia, India, now has access to Singapore’s JOil Jatropha reproduction expertise.

The level of investment entered into by Tata is nearly $25 a month for the next 4 years based on a total of Rs 80 crore declared.

The oil from Jatropha plants, being readily refined into biodiesel, places itself among the front runners in the race to find alternative and renewable energy supplies. This is why there is such a rush to invest in Jatropha green oil programmes.

Jatropha-based biodiesel starts to become financially viable at 55 to 60 dollars per barrel, says Tata Chemicals. To put that in some perspective, crude oil is at the time of writing 52 dollars per barrel, down 65 pc from it’s highest ever price of $145. Crude oil is now August 2009 just above £70 per barrel, making investment in Jatropha programmes all the more interesting.

The Jatropha investment by Tata was made taking into account their predictions for oil price growth over the next few years, their Managing Director Homi R Khusrokhan is reported to have said.

JOil, a company formed by Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory TLL, have been able to develop a process whereby Jatropha plants having a predicable and high yield of green oil can be readily reproduced.

Traditionally the output of green oil from Jatropha trees is wildly uneven which makes prediction of yield and calculations of break-even point difficult. But Tata Chemicals will now have the world-wide marketing rights for the groundbreaking research from JOil.

A tissue culture lab will be set up by the company to study the commercial potential of the project which will take at least a year of study before it can be ready for the market.

India’s Huge New Investment In Jatropha – Mumbai’s First Jatropha Oil To Biodiesel Refinery

A brand new process plant to convert Jatropha green oil into biodiesel is planned for India, American company Cleantech Group says. As soon as approval from the government is received the project will get the go-ahead.

The base ingredient to be processed into biodiesel at the refinery will be the green oil from Jatropha trees. Planned to be constructed in one of India’s poorest areas the refinery is set to boost the local economy and enhance the local’s lifestyle.

Laws in India have been passed to forbid commercial exploitation of arable land by Jatropha investors.

India’s government has released a number of initiatives to encourage investment in the production of Jatropha biodiesel including cutting taxes and duties on biodiesel to zero and setting a minimum price for Jatropha seeds.

What This Means To Jatropha Green Oil Investment Programmes

In a time of recession and indigenous fuel depletion it is somewhat rare to come across an industry expanding as dynamically as the Jatropha biofuel sector, as this report and dozens like it are witness to.

While we are currently at the starting phase of the Jatropha biodiesel boom, to lock in the enormous returns being quoted by Jatropha Green Oil Investment Programmes, it is essential to move quickly. Returns on investment are reported at 356% over five years or 93% in a one year.

Nigerian Call to Invest in Jatropha

The Chairman of All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), Akwa Ibom state branch, Chief Michael Udo Akpan, has called on farmers in the state to invest more in growing Jatropha from biofuels.

Chief Akpan told te farmers that the plant is a good feedstock for the producion of biodiesel as an alternative source of fuel.

He said that the plant, which has a life span of 40-50 years, could be harvested three times in a year and could do well on any type of soil, according to a report in Leadership Nigeria.

He said that a hectare jatropha can produce more than, 2,226 gallons of fuel.

So far, he noted, that the federal government has continued to give recognition to the production of jatropha as a cash crop, by its inclusion in the N200billion commercial agriculture scheme.

Chief Akpan said that a resource official will shortly visit the state to tell the people about the value of the plant and he urged farmers to embrace its cultivation as it would soon become another money spinner in the country.
