D1-BP Fuel Crops Limited

D1 Oils has established a global joint venture with BP to create a world-leading business in Jatropha curcas.

The new company, D1-BP Fuel Crops Limited, is underaking global planting of jatropha, and will target to plant one million hectares over four years. It will handle all activities necessary for the development of jatropha as a sustainable energy crop, including the planting of trees, harvesting jatropha grain, oil extraction and transport and logistics.

The creation of this major global business to plant jatropha as sustainable biodiesel feedstock is an endorsement by BP of D1's sustainable feedstock strategy. The joint venture has the potential to produce low-cost, volume supplies of inedible oil for biodiesel by using marginal and waste land and land unsuitable for arable crops. Jatropha planting need not compete with high biodiversity value rainforest and is expected to lead to significant job creation and value to local communities.

D1 Oils Plant Science Limited, D1's plant science business, will act as the exclusive supplier of selected, high yielding jatropha seeds and seedlings to the D1-BP Fuel Crops.
