About Us:
Ag-Oil, a green fuel company with its corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, is developing
a 15 million gallon per year oil production facility in south Florida. The oil
produced will be 100% renewable diesel for direct utilization in diesel engines. Leading-edge
oil producing technologies using high-yielding oilseed crops will
allow the project to outperform conventional oil production facilities. Ag-Oil's plantation, the largest developed pilot jatropha
plantation in the United States, exhibits the latest advancements in jatropha research by demonstrating
proper agricultural practices and showcasing the use of a newly developed mechanical harvester.
While it is anticpated that 15-20,000 acres of jatropha will be grown in south Florida, Ag-Oil has identified reliable,
government approved bulk sources of high yielding oilseed crops such as palm and castor to provide a supplementary source
for the facility's feedstock requirements.
Ag-Oil has spent significant time and resources identifying the most effective farming practices as well as
experimenting with superior, non-toxic strands of jatropha. As such, Ag-Oil is currently developing its own proprietary non-toxic cold tolerant seed.
These developments will play a critical role in helping to establish additional plantations and oil production facilities throughout the state.
