EVEREST BIODIESEL WORKING FOR JATROPHA BIODIESEL PRODUCTION

These days i am affiliated with a private company, Everest Biodiesel Company Pvt. Ltd. This company targets production of Biodiesel from Jatropha curcas in Nepal. The company has about 2-3 bigha its own land in Chumlingtar, Chitwan district near by Prithvi Highway. The research site has germplasm garden with germplasms collected from different district of Nepal, India, and Malaysia. Because of lack of feedstock for production of Biodiesel, the company with a national NGO, DC Nepal are focusing on mass plantation of Jatropha curcas in different districts of Nepal. This time we have focused our program in five districts namely Makwanpur, Chitwan, Gorkha, Tanahun, and Kaski. However, people from other districts are also working in close contact with us. I am as a Project Manager, looking overall activities of the program.
