Jatropha – Bio Energy Crop
Jatropha is the plant with many potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission given off 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 desert, little care suffices 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 used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication 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 hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining without any water logging. But appropriate 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. 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 primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy 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 tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha .Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate 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 lowers 20 heaps of carbon dioxide each year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it develops job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
