AHMEDABAD: Global auto giant General Motors has turned a farmer in Gujarat. Jointly with US department of energy, the car-maker plans to develop jatropha farms over 84 hectares of land near Bhavnagar and at its existing facility in Halol.An announcement is likely to be made by a high-profile team of company executives and US officials in Ahmedabad early next week.
The auto maker recently announced a five-year partnership with the US department of energy to help develop the potential of jatropha, a weed that produces an oil which can be refined into biodiesel, as a sustainable biofuel energy crop.
"If commercially viable, jatropha will reduce dependence on petroleum as well as cut greenhouse gas emissions and promote economic growth in the long run. Besides, it will also boost GM India growth plans with biodiesel-capable products," said a company source.
Two jatropha farms will be established in India. A 16-hectare plot in Bhavnagar and a 38 hectare plot near GM's India manufacturing plant in Halol. An existing 30 hectare jatropha farm in Bhavnagar also will be managed under this project.
While the funds will flow from the department of energy and GM, Bhavnagar-based Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute, a research facility under Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, will manage the operation.
Lab-optimised strains of jatropha, produced through selective and marker-assisted breeding, will be cultivated at these farms, say company sources.
