Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop
Jatropha is the plant with many possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission released 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 desert, little care is enough for its growth. 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 mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it periodically used as property separation. It decreases the soil erosion.
The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining with no 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 offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is produces 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 projects 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 inexpensive cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. 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 tons of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing nation 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 process hence it produces job for many poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
