Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop

Jatropha is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission released from it pollutes 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 suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material 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 checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it periodically utilized as home demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely cost effective cost 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 development. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India’s fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of co2 each year. 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 biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive thus it develops task for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
