Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a vegetable oil based fuel that is used in diesel engines such as cars, boats, trucks and construction equipment. Biodiesel is an alternative to petroleum-based diesel. It is made by the made by transesterification of vegetable oil.

Crude Glycerine
Crude Glycerine (Glycerin) is the by-product of biodiesel via the transesterification of vegetable oils. It is a chemical substance that has a large variety of uses.

Feedstock
Raw material required for an industrial process.

Fossil Fuel
Fossil fuel is a source of fuel that is extracted from the earth. It is a non renewable form of energy. Examples of fossil fuels are coal, peat, petroleum, and natural gas.

Jatropha Curcas
Jatropha Curcas is a non- edible perennial crop that can grow in marginal land and arid conditions.

Jatropha Seeds
Jatropha seeds when processed have a similar energy value to fossil diesel. The seeds can be crushed to extract raw oil that is used to manufacture biodiesel.

Jatropha Seed Cake
The seed cake from the plant Jatropha Curcas can be used as organic fertilizer.

Marginal lands
Poor quality land that is difficult to cultivate and is likely to yield little profit. Examples of marginal land include upland and desert borders.

Oil Palm
The oil palm is a tropical palm tree that bears fruits in large bunches. Each fruit contains a seed which is called the palm kernel and is surrounded by a soft oil pulp. Oil is extracted from both the pulp and the kernel.

Refined Pharma Grade Glycerin
Crude Glycerine can be refined into Pharma Grade Glycerin for commercial use.

Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy is produced from natural resources that can be naturally replenished. Forms of renewable energy include wind, solar, biomass and biofuels.

Tonnes per annum
Abbreviated to tpa.

Vegetable Oil
Vegetable Oil is derived from plants. The oil is commonly used for culinary purposes. When the oil is processed further it can be used as an ingredient in manufactured products such as soap, perfume or paints. Vegetable oil is also used in making biodiesel.

Wind Turbine
A wind turbine is a rotating machine that produces electricity from the generation of wind.
