THE ENERGY TUBER and THE CO-PRODUCTS OF FOOD, FEED and FUEL
Picture

WE CARE ABOUT –

  • Breaking our American addiction to fossil fuel. Growing CAREnergy's newly patented ENERGY TUBER can lead the way for America to phase-in a clean renewable, home-grown fuel to replace gasoline in today's and tomorrow's vehicles.     
  • Keeping in our economy the billions a year the US spends on foreign oil.  Our company believes these billions could better be spent creating many new permanent American jobs growing the ENERGY TUBER and processing into FUEL, FOOD, and FEED.  This would result in a more stable economy using our land and resources wisely. 
  • A restored balance to earth's climate protected from the ever increasing problems of climate change by growing the ENERGY TUBER.  This crop will 'fix' more CO2 per day into sugar and starch  (stored green energy) than any other temperate crop. The ENERGY TUBER has multiple pest resistance and has been grown successfully for 5 years on a big ORGANIC farm.​
  • Innovators and Investors. The Paris Summit on Climate Change was attended by representatives looking for innovative solutions.  They have expressed an interest in fostering in innovative businesses that can reduce CO2 levels and even reverse climate change. ​ The commercialization of CAREnergy's ENERGY TUBER in many countries to replace petroleum based transportation fuel could significantly contribute to meeting this goal.   
  • World-wide impact as the 6th largest world-crop.  CAREnergy's high yielding variety will allow farmers in Asia, Africa, S. America, and Caribbean to increase yields up to 8 times over current, low yielding sweetpotato varieties. This will result in surplus yield so that the farmers will be able to use the best sweetpotatoes for food, the rest processed into FUEL (bio-ethanol through fermentation and jet fuel through special process), FOOD (high value protein) and FEED (highly nutritious vines and stillage for animal feed). Our ENERGY TUBER will allow these farmers to not only sell fresh market sweetpotatoes but sell the large, crooked or defective roots for industrial processing.     

Updates From Dr. Janice Ryan-Bohac

Summer 2018
Dr. Janice Ryan-Bohac, President, Chief Scientist and Plant Breeder of CAREnergy, LLC, travels to California. CAREnergy’s field trials there of her advanced sweetpotato varieties have included the patented Energy Tuber. This has the Silva Farms putting CAREnergy select sweetpotatoes into major commercial production in 2018.

Quote from Dr. Ryan-Bohac, "These are large commercial CAREnergy sweetpotato fields in California of about 100 acres. They give the viewer an idea of the scale by how small the people are seen weeding in the background. The handling and processing of California CAREnergy sweetpotatoes far surpasses even my expectation for efficient and effective water management. Harvesting is much more efficient and effective in this California work as well. Obviously with our anticipated CAREnergy biofuel crop we will be looking at improving the mechanization of these processes for large-scale production."
