Carbon2Green: Report of the Organization of the United Nations on the Jatropha

Carbon2Green Corporation (TSX VENTURE: CGN) ("Carbon2Green" or the
"Corporation") announces that the Food and Agriculture Organization
of the United Nations ("FAO") and the International Fund for
Agricultural Development ("IFAD") have published a recent report,
(http://www.fao.org/news/story/fr/item/44324/icode/), on the
possible role of the development of jatropha in reducing poverty.
It is undeniable that this report supports the assizes of
Carbon2Green's business Plan. The report points out that as the
fruit of Jatropha has the property to grow relatively well in arid
areas and on degraded soils that are generally unsuited to
agriculture, its use for biodiesel production could be a
significant advantage for poor farmers in developing countries. The
diesel fuel, which currently powers the poor rural families to
electricity, could be replaced by a less polluting fuel, by
transforming the jatropha's seed in biodiesel. Thus, this
substitute would allow the granting of TCER and CER.
The production of biodiesel and the jatropha's contribution to
reversing land degradation are not the unique utilities of this
fruit, as reported by FAO / IFAD. Indeed, after having undergone a
detoxification process, the jatropha's cattle-cake cake can serve
especially as a fertilizer and as food for animals. In the words of
the FAO and the IFAD, "the jatropha cultivation could become a
highly efficient culture, productive on degraded soils and saline
areas subject to low rainfall".
