Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop

Jatropha is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission released from it pollutes the atmosphere, 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 contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes utilized as property separation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes without any 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the really cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India’s fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 loads of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it produces task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
