Jatropha Cultivation: A Strategy for Biodiesel Production in India
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Jatropha grows in tropical and sub tropical regions. Jatropha oil is a possible feedstock for biodiesel production. Oil extraction can be done either mechanically or chemically. The oil can be used for lighting purposes. Soap production on a jatropha oil basis is possible with only two additional ingredients: lye and carbonate. Besides energy security and environmental benefits, jatropha offers a potential opportunity to address the issues of rural livelihoods and poverty. The objective of this paper was to study the importance of Jatropha tree for biofuel in 21st centuary.
