Biodiesel Business Partnership Proposal
1- Background:
- After I got a B. Sc. in pharmacy and work in the field, I made a career shift to work in business, first it was regular business of import and export then innovative business by enter renewable energy sector and specially biodiesel.
- I started an import / export business "Toll agreement" importing and exporting on behalf of others, then we focused on exporting UCO (used cooking oil) as feedstock (raw material) for biodiesel.
- In a paradigm shift, we got contacted by an investor to start manufacturing biodiesel in Jordan, and take the advantage to become one of the first facilities in the region.
- Exploiting the cumulative experience by becoming “biodiesel advisory” for so many biodiesel producers all over the world and the region. A long list of projects mentioned below with each case scope of work.
2- Learned Lessons:
1- Master of feedstock is master of the industry. And as so investors should take care of insuring supply chain of feedstock (suitable – affordable – available) and to have a Resource Mix of so many sources:
a. Waste feedstock : ( UCO – WVO – Fats )
b. Cultured (Farmed) feedstocks: ( Jatropha oil – Castor Oil, Rapeseed oil, Algae oil … )
c. Synthetized feedstock : such as synthetizes of Glycerides (TG, TAG)
2- Large investment is one of the barriers in the field of Renewable Energy of course biodiesel also, but with high economic indices of biodiesel production.
3- Best production scheme is to manufacture in MENA region and targeting , exporting to EU market. Knowing the fact; that cost reduction is less six times.
4- Research and Development is must for a profitable and cozy production through IPs creating and capturing in the facility and in others’ facilities.
