HUGE PROSPECT ON D1 OILS

D1 was originally established in 2002 to focus on the development of a portable refinery technology to produce biodiesel for the UK transport industry. During this period, it was concluded that the high cost of rape seed oil, the main feedstock for biodiesel production in Europe, renders its use commercially unattractive. As a result, D1 explored the economics, suitability and yields of a variety of specific energy crops. During 2003, jatropha curcas was identified as its feedstock of choice and the focus turned to securing output from jatropha plantations.

Jatropha was selected as D1's primary energy crop due to it's high productivity, durability and longevity. Jatropha trees can be grown on marginalised land and are durable to the elements. Furthermore, jatropha can grow in areas of minimal rainfall, although it grows better in areas of higher annual rainfall. Jatropha trees produce nuts, which contain oil, for an average of thirty years and generally have their first harvest within two years of planting. Biodiesel refined from jatropha oil complies with EN 14214, the current European standard for biodiesel. Biodiesel meeting EN 14121 specification is an approved blend when mixed with petroleum diesel.

D1 is now commercialising its D1 20 refinery able to produce eight million litres of biodiesel per annum and will utilise jatropha oil as its main feedstock. D1 believes it can maintain low production costs and produce consistent, high volume quality output through sourcing existing feedstock supplies, cultivating new yields of jatropha on existing plantations and setting up D1 20 refineries regionally. D1 is working with highly regarded agronomy and biotechnology research and development facilities in India and South East Asia and is participating in the establishment of nurseries in a variety of locations in the Asia Pacific region. These nurseries will test imported jatropha seeds against indigenous varieties to determine which will grow best under a region's climatic conditions. In addition, D1 has recently acquired the rights to a proprietary growing media which targets the specific nutritional requirements of jatropha.

The global market demand for biodiesel is growing. International energy and environmental policies have helped to create a demand for biodiesel which is estimated to reach at least 10.5 billion litres by 2010 in the European Union alone. Based on current capacity, feedstock availability and positioning in the market, the global production of biodiesel is expected to reach approximately
3 billion litres by 2010, less than one third of the projected demand in the European Union.

D1 Oils aims to become a global, sustainable, low cost producer of biodiesel and supplier of crude vegetable oil used in the production of biodiesel. To reach this objective, D1 will manage its operations regionally, securing plantation rights and establishing refinery operations in each region, thus controlling aspects of the supply chain from seed selection through to the sale of biodiesel to end customers.

To this end, D1 has established four regional operations:
UK (Teesside and London) South Africa (Johannesburg) Asia Pacific (Manila, the Philippines) and India (New Delhi).

I think we could see a lot of consolidation in this sector over the next few years as the Oil majors seek a quick and simple route into the alternative energy market, hopefully they start with D1.

I don't agree at all with you Hyleo, the only justification for your comment would have to be that nearly every sector is falling at the moment.
I'ts finding the positive ones during these patches that makes money and I think renewable energy is one of these sectors.
Also both Ceres and BP, whom every Investor would probably put forward as the most recognisable Renewable energy play and Oil major are both well up since last month.

Depends on the news i suppose.....:0)

Not saying it will happen but check out what hapened last time these 2 lines crossed at the end od 2004......

And the fact that they are in talks with someone ,there is every chance news is just around the corner to make it happen.....just a thought and all imho......Brewin Dolphin posted a buy at 303p and expected more than a 15% increase in the sp without news.....:0)

Serves me right for trading out of hours, just recieved my contract note and I'm dissapointed to see that they bought on my behalf at 376! When trade that day was around 372.
Well I have faith in the market to spot DOO and hopefully BP's ability too.

276 sorry. 376 I wish.
Also in at 202 a long time back.

Down 6p to 262p at close

If I have read it correctly, I think Ms Barefoot would say that is smack on the support level of the golden cross ...... whether or not that holds after tonight's bloodbath in USA remains to be seen

The 15sma has now cut through the 200sma but in this market will it stay there???

Taken from advfn...

good

if it holds, buy a lot more maybe

BP, Clipper Windpower unveil energy project in US, turbine supply deal


LONDON (AFX) - Oil giant BP PLC and wind power specialist Clipper Windpower
PLC have announced a joint energy project in the US and a long-term supply
agreement for wind turbines.
The five-year project, with an anticipated total generating capacity of
2,015 MW, will be located at wind farms in New York, Texas, and South Dakota,
the companies said.
As part of the joint venture BP Alternative Energy has committed to the
purchase of 100MW of Liberty turbines in 2007 and 200MW in 2008 which it will
use on other projects in BP's global wind business.
These orders represent the initial firm deliveries under the long-term
supply agreement for up to 900 Liberty turbines over the next five years.

RNS released half an hour before close and sp rose more than 80p on a bad day in the markets......imagine if it was DOO and a good day......;0)

Note part of the agreement is to buy 100 wind turbines....would be nice if the bought 100 D1 20s......;0)

Just back from holiday, good article in shares mag last week speculating that a bid looks possible.
Look at the one day chart today, it just sums up DOO. Up to 344 then closes down 8p!

Good recovery today from negative to up 10!
