Dear Boston

 

Can you send me some jatropha seed cake?

 

In fact, where are you? If it is more convenient, you can send it to SeTAR
in Johannesburg and I will deal with it there.

 

It is hard to believe there is no easy way to burn it. 

 

Thanks

Crispin

Hi Richard,

 

I have a related question to this discussion, which I think is interesting.

 

At CU, we have a Jatropha project that you fielded some questions about a
few months ago.  As I'm sure you've heard, Jatropha seedcake does not burn
well, not even close.  So, one of our questions now is:  what can we do with
this waste stream this is both useful and desirable?

 

One approach we will test is to carbonize the material and for biochar
briquettes (and a water filter media, etc.).  However, I wholeheartedly
agree with your sentiment on biochar briquettes.  What is your opinion if
the ag-waste doesn't burn well normally?  It still seems a bit contrived,
eh?

 

I'm looking forward to hearing your perspective.

 

Cheers,

Boston
