Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop
Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the co2 emission given off from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care suffices for its growth. 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 utilized as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.
The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining with no water logging. But sufficient 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 planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power 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 small scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely affordable rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India’s fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The largest jatropha in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it produces task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
