Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop

jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission produced 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 arid region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. 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 successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional 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 hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it periodically used as property demarcation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha growing. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are connected 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) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24 supply at the extremely inexpensive price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India’s fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 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 manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it develops task for numerous bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
