About Jatropha Oil Fields and My Dream Fuel LLC.

This website is a joint venture between Lablandbiotech of Mysore India & DreamFuels, Ltda. of San Jose, Costa Rica. To learn more about Lablandbiotech please visit their website: www.lablandbiotechs.com. There you will see that Dr. Sudheer Shetty has put together a team of Ph.D.’s to revolutionize the approach taken to biodiesel in general, and the development of Jatropha in particular.  As these pictures testify, Labland is committed to providing vastly superior seedlings to serve as the basis of all biodiesel produced by Dream Fuels, Ltd.

The story of this joint venture between these two great companies is one of bringing people together from two distant cultures and twp far away lands.  Paul Dalton, founder of Dream Fuels, Ltda. discovered years ago that Costa Rica’s Rain Forest had been decimated by the over development of the cattle industry during the late 70's and early 80's.  Starting a few years back, he found that one couple, Steve and Sherry Brunner, were doing something about this problem.  The Brunner’s through their purchase of several abandoned cattle ranches were able to change the depleted rain forests of south central Costa Rica from wasteland into once again the beautiful lush green rainforests that had once been  there.

1992 Before Planting and Protecting	2002 The Same Area After Planting

With the passage of time and the help of many investors like Paul & Ellen Dalton, the Brunner’s have planted over 2 million tropical hardwoods. Their example has served as our inspiration to attack another problem, the lack of use of non agricultural land to help fight Global Warming.   Reforestation is a vital and necessary part of the solution to Global Warming, but some land is not suitable for growing trees.  Using Jatropha, biodiesel production can occur on land not suitable for growing trees.   It can be grown on arid non agricultural land and thus does not compete with trees or food crops.  This is a very important fact for anyone concerned with the issues of deforestation and/or food versus fuel, in developing countries.  By not diverting land that is currently being used to grow food or could be used to restore a rainforest, Jatropha is setting the stage to become the premiere source of biodiesel, without any of the negative tradeoffs associated with other feedstock sources.  

In addition, Jatropha produces up to ten times the amount of oil of other plants per acre.

By combining their resources at this website, both companies hope to bring to the public an awareness of the importance of taking action today to attack the issues surrounding Global Warming.  At the same time, both companies hope to provide an ecologically sensitive way to provide clean renewable energy whose production not only provides environmental benefits but also financial ones to those eager to find solutions to the world’s growing energy and environmental problems.
