Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop
Jatropha is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the co2 emission given off 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 desert, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content 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 tested successfully as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally utilized as home demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The 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 hold up against frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. 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 little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the really economical 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 lights up rural locations with electricity. 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 decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. 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 largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it develops task for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
