Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop

Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as property demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India’s fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 heaps of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it creates task for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
