Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop
Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission discharged from it contaminates the atmosphere, 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 growth. 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 utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible.

It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as property separation. It reduces the soil erosion.
The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining without any 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 offers 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 lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are linked 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really budget-friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. 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 decreases 20 tons of co2 each year. The biggest 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 producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it develops task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
