Renewable Energy

The jatropha plantation creates a positive correlation between energy production and food production. It promotes following main aspects of development whick combine to help assure a sustainable way of life for rural kishan and the soil that supports them. *EXTRACTION OF BIOFUELS-the renewable energy:- It was successfully introduced as fuel for simple engine-driven oil presses,grain mills and water pumps. *EROSION PROTECTION AND INCREASE OF SOIL QUALITY:- Jatropha hedges reduce wind erosion of the soil and keep off animals.The press cake,by-product of the oil production can be used as bio fertilizer. *PROMOTION OF WOMEN *POVERTY REDUCTION IN RURAL AREAS:- Jtropha oil has been used by women for medicines and for soaps. Intergrating the machines into the process without having to pay for cash for the fuel increases productivity and income

Why Bio Diesel ?
Many alternative Bio Diesel fuels have been shown to have better exhaust emissions than traditional Diesel fuel. Jatropha Bio diesel holds promise as fuel alternatives for diesel engine because :-
Bio Diesel are renewable fuelDepletion of the Primary FuelsBio Diesel are agriculture orientedA number of researches have shown that jatropha bio diesel has fuel properties and provides engine performance that is very similar to diesel fuel
The severe emission regulations in the world have placed design limitations on heavy duty diesel engines. The trend towards cleaner burning fuel is growing worldwide and it is possible through Jatropha bio diesel.
Bio diesel includes a high cetane number, low sulfur , low volatility and the presence of Oxygen atoms in the fuel molecule
Expected efficiency is achieved through Bio diesel.Bio diesel performs better than the Petroleum dieselJatropha bio diesel readily mixes with diesel fuel and it runs in any diesel engine without modificationReduces serious air pollutants such as particulates, carbon monoxides, hydrocarbons and air toxic



Jatropha curcas - Bio Diesel & Other usesPotential Varieties of Bio Diesel oil seeds1. Jatropha Curcas2. Karanja (Pungam)3. Jojoba4. Kusum5. Mahua6. Neem
Nearly 80 species are known to produce oil from seeds
Even though there are plenty of varieties of tree borne oil seeds, Jatropha Curcas shrubs 31 to 37 % of oil is extracted from a Jatropha seed. Jatropha Curcas seed can be used as Bio diesel for any diesel engine without modification
Selling treated Jatropha seeds, and quality sapling
Dark blue dye and wax can be produced from the bark of the Jatropha curcas plants
Jatropha plant Stem is used as a poor quality wood : Bio fuel
Jatropha curcas leaves helps in dressing the wound.
Jatropha roots help in making yellow dye
Juice of the flowers of Jatropha curcas and the Jatropha stem has very good medicinal properties
Pounded seeds are used in tanning
Press Cake : Jatropha becomes Organic fertilizer and soil improver
Jatropha curcas extracted oil are used as :Bio Diesel, Varnishes, Illuminants, Soap, Pest control and Medicinal for skin diseases, and others
