| Why Forward Integration Crucial? As more biofuel projects emerge, securing adequate feedstock supply poses a challenge. The Malaysian government has recently announced a temporary freeze on the issuance of biodiesel manufacturing licenses. With some 30 biodiesel plants that shall be operational over the next three years, and 61 applications in the pipeline, the government decided to probe whether feedstock supply is sufficient. “Building biodiesel plants without secure feedstock supplies is like building automobile plants without knowing if you will have tires for your cars. Henry Ford knew this and that is why he acquired his rubber plantations”…… Joseph LaStella, President of Green Star Products, Inc. Europe’s main feedstock for biodiesel production is still rapeseed oil, but constraint by limited agricultural areas, it is paramount that they widen their feedstock potential to include other seeds oils like Palm oil or Jatropha oil. Palm oil’s cold-temperature behaviour means that it has to be mixed with other seed oil, while jatropha oil seems to display promising properties for biodiesel production. The quality, performance and economics of Palm and Jatropha along with other feedstock options like Coconut oil, Rice Bran Oil, Karanjia, etc will be assessed. | ||
| Indonesia will replace Malaysia as the world’s biggest palm oil producer by next year with supply of 16 million tons as the plantation land in Malaysia has been maximized. While Indonesia still has the capacity to expand, Biodiesel producers and existing plantation companies are actively on lookout for suitable land to invest in plantation. Opportunities in alternative countries like Laos, Myanmar, West & Southern Africa, and Central America will be discussed. CMT, jointly with Frost & Sullivan’s Biofuels Feedstock Outlook conference provides leads into securing feedstock. Main issues that will be discussed include: • Competitive study of various feedstock options • Forecasting short & medium term growth in Asia, Europe Biofuels Production • Plantation Investments in Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Nigeria & Central America • Models & Economics of Jatropha and Cassava Cultivation • Perspective on RSPO (Oil Palm Sustainability) • Supplying to Europe – Demand, Feedstock Choices, Trade flow and Restrictions Biofuels Feedstock Outlook is your key to critical information and making important contacts.
