Actual process of production of bio-diesel from Jatropha seeds is carried out by the process such as, oil extraction from seed, trasesterification process & the conversion of seed oil to bio-diesel. It is a renewable source, it has high potential to improve local economy, the exhaust is primarily CO2, Sox, Nox emissions are reduced. No engine modifications is require while using bio-diesel. It has high cetane number & high flash point.

The cost of Jatropha seed is Rs. 4/- kg. The cost of bio-diesel is around of Rs. 20/- per litre, but for a large scale production, the cost is expected to come down to around of Rs. 12/-.
