Europtronic Green Energy, a rapidly-developing biotech unit of Europtronic Group (SGX: ETGL), is one of the largest plantlet propagators in Asia. Using biotechnology, we specialize in the tissue culturing of fuel crop seedlings & ornamental plantlets. Based in Singapore, it is also one of the select few companies to start breeding and propagate clonal Jatropha seedlings and plantlets in China for clients across Asia Pacific region.

Cited as one of the best candidates for biodiesel production, Jatropha curcas is widely believed to be the crop of choice for the biofuel industry because of its adaptability and resistance to a high degree of aridity, making it suitable for growing in marginal land. The non-edible Jatropha curcas would not add stress to the world food shortage crisis or diverts resources away from food crops. The race for producing superior breeds of Jatropha has begun and yet few companies understand or possess the required competencies to jumpstart commercial cultivation of Jatropha. Europtronic Green Energy has, however, developed a tested methodology for Jatropha cultivation to scale and address the challenges of yield predictability, as well as plantation management.

Our production facilities include greenhouses covering an area of over 120,000 sq m and an 80,000 sq m of clean facility for tissue culturing and mericloning.  Aiming to be a catalyst of the green movement, Europtronic Green Energy is committed to contributing to a sustainable ecosystem that relies on renewable resources to produce effective, environmentally-friendly products.  Our focus on Research and Development is driving the application of biotechnology into a spectrum of new areas.

Our core competencies include expertise attained through 15 years of experience in phalaenopsis tissue culture and previous track record in developing financial models to meet cost reduction and/or mass production strategies. Europtronic Green Energy is hence favorably positioned in the driver’s seat for the commercial roll-out of non-edible energy fuel crops like Jatropha in Asian countries such as China, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Our mission is to lead the production of energy fuels using biotech-based applications and in doing so, inspire a sustainable future.
