TerViva BioEnergy

TerViva has developed an ultra-low cost, environmentally-responsible feedstock for the production of biodiesel.   At the heart of TerViva’s technology are elite strains of Pongamia, a leafy tree that produces non-edible vegetable oil.  Our proprietary trees exhibit robust growth in marginal soil and use minimal quantities of water and fertilizers.  The energy output of a gallon of our Pongamia diesel is almost four times the energy used to produce that gallon.

TerViva is currently looking to establishing commercial ranches of its elite trees on arid, unused land in the US, Central America, and the Caribbean.  These ranches will produce oil at a cost far below that of other biofuels and below that of petroleum diesel.  They will also create thousands of jobs, sequester thousands of tons of carbon dioxide, and improve biodiversity through afforestation.
