Terasol Energy is a clean energy company focused on developing next-generation feedstocks for the specialty chemicals, transportation and power generation industries. Terasol Energy seeks to leverage its expertise in plant science and agronomy to develop and produce next-generation feedstocks that are truly sustainable and responsible. Our primary focus is on castor (ricinus communis) but we are currently also developing longer term projects with jatropha (jatropha curcas) and next generation short cycle crops, such as crambe, that maximize the use of degraded or marginal lands that are otherwise unsuitable for food crop cultivation.

Unlike first-generation oilseeds, the oil derived from the crops we grow is inedible, and since the crops are grown on marginal lands, there is no risk of deforestation. Our goal is to work with emerging feedstocks to facilitate commercial expansion to ultimately replace our need for fossil fuels.

We provide commercial quantities of clean crude oil for the specialty chemicals industries and are delivering test shipments to customers and partners in the transportation fuels and power generation industries. We also assist organizations looking for a commercialization partner to jointly develop large scale sustainable feedstock solutions.

At Terasol Energy, we have a strong culture of innovation and development. We have worked to identify and cultivate accessions of crops that correspond with various global agro-climatic conditions. We have done so through close collaborations with plantations and research centers across Brazil and India. We are focused on developing next generation feedstocks that are renewable, scalable and sustainable.
