Jatropha Curcas Biodiesel
Jatropha Curcas (Vana Erand or Ratan Jyot) has been found to be most suitable for this purpose because of its advantages over any other species. It can be grown as a quick yielding plant even on degraded and barren lands under forest and nonforest use, dry and drought prone areas.
Oil yield per hectare is approx. 1.6 metric tons on average soil (based on 5 mt seed yield per hac) which is among the highest for tree born oil seeds. The seed yield from Jatropha Curcas (approx. 0.625 tons per hectare) is expected in the first year itself which is fastest for any species. The biodiesel produced requires no engine modifications or changes in fuel handling and delivery systems. Bio-Diesel also provides significant lubricity improvement over petroleum diesel fuel.
