Constantly the biodiesel market is looking for some alternative to produce renewable resource. Biodiesel prepared from canola, sunflower and jatropha can change or be combined with standard diesel. During first half of 2000’s jatropha biofuel made the headlines as an incredibly popular and promising alternative. It is prepared from jatropha curcas, a plant species native to Central America that can be grown on wasteland.
Jatropha Curcas is a non edible plant that grows in the arid areas. The plant grows very rapidly and it can yield seeds for about 50 years. The oil received from its seeds can be used as a biofuel. This can be blended with petroleum diesel. Previously it has been used two times with algae combination to sustain test flight of airlines.
Another favorable approach of jatorpha seeds is that they have 37% oil material and they can be burned as a fuel without improving them. It is also used for medical purpose. Supporters of jatropha biodiesel say that the flames of jatropha oil are smoke free and they are successfully checked for simple diesel motor.
Jatropha biodiesel as Renewable resource Investment has brought in the interest of lots of business, which have actually tested it for automotive usage. Jatropha biodiesel has been roadway checked by Mercedes and 3 of the cars and trucks have actually covered 18,600 miles by using the jatropha plant biodiesel.
Since it is due to the fact that of some downsides, the jatropha biodiesel have not thought about as a wonderful renewable energy. The biggest issue is that no one understands that just what the productivity rate of the plant is. Secondly they do not know how large scale cultivation may affect the soil quality and the environment as a whole. The jatropha plant requires 5 times more water per energy than corn and sugarcane. This raises another problem. On the other hand it is to be noted that jatropha can grow on tropical climates with annual rains of about 1000 to 1500 mm. A thing to be kept in mind is that jatropha needs appropriate irrigation in the very first year of its plantation which lasts for decades.
Recent survey states that it is real that jatropha can grow on degraded land with little water and bad nutrition. But there is no evidence for the yield to be high. This might be to the quality of the soil. In such a case it might need high quality of land and might require the same quagmire that is dealt with by the majority of biofuel types.
Jatropha has one main downside. The seeds and leaves of jatropha are toxic to human beings and livestock. This made the Australian federal government to ban the plant in 2006. The government declared the plant as invasive species, and too dangerous for western Australian farming and the environment here (DAFWQ 2006).
While jatropha has promoting budding, there are variety of research obstacles remain. The importance of cleansing needs to be studied due to the fact that of the toxicity of the plant. Along side a systematic research study of the oil yield need to be carried out, this is very important because of high yield of jatropha would probably needed before jatropha can be contributed substantially to the world. Lastly it is also very essential to study about the jatropha species that can make it through in more temperature level climate, as jatropha is quite limited in the tropical environments.
