Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop

Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the co2 emission emitted from it contaminates the atmosphere, 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 is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional 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 seldom utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining without any water logging. But adequate 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 provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs.

It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods 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 decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it produces job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
