Move to plant and process jatropha in Sarawak
KUCHING: Local company Passion Masters Resources Sdn Bhd, in collaboration with Dr Luhat Technology Institute, is embarking on a jatropha plantation and processing facility in the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy.
Passion Masters president Johari Ahmad said that 809ha in Belawai, Jerijeh, Tanjung Manis and the Rajang area in Mukah division had been identified for the cultivation of jatropha superbulk, a variety developed by Dr Elli Luhat of the institute.
He said that jatropha superbulk would be the main feedstock for a biofuel processing facility in Tanjung Manis.
“Our jatropha superbulk nursery will be in operation by the first quarter of 2009 in Jerijeh, where two million seedlings will be available for planting.
“This will be followed with the building of a processing facility which will cater to small-scale jatropha planters in Sarawak as well,” Johari said.
He added that the project would be launched soon with the signing of a memoranda of understanding with relevant parties.
