Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop

Jatropha is the plant with many possible benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the co2 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 arid area, little care suffices for its growth. 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 blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property separation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were established 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 very cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. 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 loads of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it produces job for many poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
