Jatrol Premium
The Jatrol price indicator is calculated using inputs of related oil prices such as:
- Crude Palm oil
- Jet Fuel Price (IATA Indicator)
- Rapeseed oil, Soy Bean oil
- Crude oil
The base price calculated from the step above is then fine tuned using an index. The index is created using:
- Nasdaq Clean Energy Index
- Diesel (wholesale – ULSD future)
Jatrol Light
The Jatrol Light price indicator is calculated using
inputs of related oil prices such as:
- Crude Palm oil
- Rapeseed oil
- Soy Bean oil
- Crude oil
The base price calculated from the step above is then fine tuned using an index. The index is created using:
- Nasdaq Clean Energy Index
- Heating oil ETF (US)
- Electricity (from 2 sources)
- Goldman Sachs Commodity Index ETF
- Certified Emission Reductions
- European Union Allowances

JATROPHA TREE.
—
Jatropha is a non-food energy feedstock that superbly upgrades derelict tracts of land.
Jatropha nuts are tree borne oil seeds that provide rich bio fuels with a high calorific value. From the inedible Jatropha nut comes Jatropha oil, a non-food type of biofuel. Crude Jatropha oil offers a sustainable and scalable source of energy at a commercially viable price. What makes Jatropha so unique is its high-energy efficiency relative to its low input and cultivation costs. After all, it grows on marginal lands and yields one of the highest oil contents of all bio-diesel crops.
Jatropha seeds are also very resilient against diseases and poor soil conditions. Because the Jatropha tree can grow on inferior soil, infertile land that is thereby effectively upgraded for usage. Jatropha plantations thus play an important role in the reforestation and reclaiming of derelict tracts of land in developing economies, providing real income in regions with an impoverished populace.
Jatropha offers the best possible proposition of all biofuel crops as it is a toxic crop that does not compete with food production. Jatropha actually augments the food chain because food crops may be interbred between the trees on the plantations. A well balanced intercropping scheme enhances a symbiotic and complimentary plant relationship to the benefit of both, food and fuel crops. Moreover, Jatropha generates very effective organic fertilizers as a by-product.
