United Biofuels of America

United Biofuels of America (UBA) The UBA consortium consists of agricultural entities, industrial companies, universities, non-profit organizations and governments with the objective of developing Biofuel standards and promoting Biofuel research, development and commercialization. UBA organizes and develops feedstock producers to provide market channels and the highest quality control and standards for the end users.

UBA works towards sustainable, renewable solutions for its members. Setting standards that are both environmental and socially responsible, and building sound Biofuel Farming Practices are primary goals of UBA.

Currently UBA has The 1,000,000 Gallon Challenge to meet US government and regional contracts for Jatropha Crude Oil (JCO). This will require significant plantation development to ensure feedstock to Biofuel capacity for these contracts. This project will require over 800,000 hectares of Jatropha plantation development over the next 5 years.

This represents approximately 2,000,000 gallons per day production when operations are at full capacity.

1st Year: 1131 Hectares
2nd Year: 27,630 Hectares
3rd Year: 113,100 Hectares
4th Year: 226,200 Hectare
5th Year: 452,000 Hectare

Total: 814,000. Hectares

Research Center

UBA has already initiated the development of the research center and lab on the Costa Rica Seed Company (CRSC) plantation. When the center is complete, it will house the proprietary pilot system for conversion of JCO to jet fuel; in addition the lab will be used for further Biofuel development and testing.

UBA as a Standards Regulatory platform will provide a testing capabilities to regulate Biofuel quality and technical standards. The UBA label will ensure quality standards that are required by our buying members. Initially this includes JCO for Biodiesel and for conversion standards of JCO to jet fuel, as well as providing full technical specification for member feedstock providers.
