Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop
Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential . As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly 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 dry region, little care is enough for its development. 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 utilized as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible.

It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as home separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.
The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing 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 contribution to the connection expenses. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective 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 small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India’s fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it creates task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
