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

Transport accounts for more than 27% of all final energy consumed, according to the International Energy Agency, and 23% of global CO2 emissions.

Biofuels are playing an increasingly important role in meeting growing transport fuel demand. Considering that transportation is responsible for some 30 percent of current energy usage and that biofuels can be used in transportation with only few changes to the existing distribution infrastructure, biofuels become an extremely important form of bioenergy. Using current technology, biofuels offer the most convenient renewable alternative to fossil transport fuels since they require the fewest changes to the distribution infrastructure. Biofuels produced in sufficient volume could make a significant impact on global warming since it is estimated that transport accounts for 21 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions.
When blended with petroleum-based diesel to be used as a transportation fuel jatropha based biodiesel reduces the emission of harmful gases from vehicles thus contributing towards creating a pollution free environment and helping to meet emission targets.
Global demand for transport appears unlikely to decrease in the foreseeable future; the World Energy Outlook projects that transport will grow by 45% by 2030. To limit the emissions from this sector, policy makers first and foremost should consider measures to encourage or require improved vehicle efficiency and low-carbon fuels. These include electricity (e.g. electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles), hydrogen (e.g. through the introduction of fuel cell vehicles) and greater use of biofuels (e.g. as a blend in gasoline and diesel fuel).
Brazil is pioneering one of the world’s largest biofuels industries and 90 percent of its new car sales have flex-fuel technology, enabling them to run solely on its cane-derived ethanol, gasoline or any mixture of both.
