Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop

Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission produced from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally used as property separation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous 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 main organizations developing jatropha growing. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are connected 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 small scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the very affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India’s fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 tons of co2 each year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it produces job for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
