CAN BIODIESEL WORK IN INDIA?
India with just 2.4% of global area supports more than 16% of the human population and 17% of the cattle population
India is one of the largest importers of edible oil
Where do we find the oil for biodiesel?
A sustainable source of vegetable oil is to be found before we can think of biodiesel
JATROPHA THE ANSWER?
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas, Ratanjyot, wild castor) thrives on any type of soil
Needs minimal inputs or management
Has no insect pests, not browsed by cattle or sheep
Can survive long periods of drought
Propagation is easy
Rapid growth; forms a thick live hedge after only 9 months of planting
Yield from the 3rd year onwards and continues for 25-30 years
Yield from established plantations in Brazil, 1.5 to 2.3 tons per hectare
25% oil from seeds by expelling; 30% by solvent extraction
The meal after extraction an excellent organic manure (38% protein)
According to the National Mission on Bio Fuels out of 197 million hectors,13.4 MH available for Jatropha plantation
BIODIESEL FROM JATROPHA
1 MILLION HECATRES OF WASTE LAND IS BROUGHT UNDER JATROPHA CULTIVATION
Can yield
0.8-1 million tons of oil
For 66.9 MMT diesel (Projected 2011-12)
13 MMT bio diesel for 20% blend
11 MH land required
11 million jobs
Secondary Biofuels (Advanced)
Second generation biofuels are biofuels produced from sustainable feedstock. Sustainability of a feedstock is defined among others by availability of the feedstock, impact on GHG emissions and impact on biodiversity and land use. Many second generation biofuels are under development such as Cellulosic ethanol, Algae fuel, biohydrogen, biomethanol, DMF, BioDME, Fischer-Tropsch diesel, biohydrogen diesel, mixed alcohols and wood diesel.
Initiatives taken by State Govt.
Various State Govts have taken initiatives for Jatropha Plantation notably
Uttranchal
Constituted “Uttranchal Bio-fuel Board” to promote Bio-fuel in the state
2 lakh ha.Jatropha plantation is proposed on degraded community land through Van Panchayat
Chhattisgarh
Chhattisgarh Bio-fuel Development Authority setup on Jan.2005 for development of bio-fuel in the state
Govt. fallow land being offered to private entrepreneur.
Action initiated to allot 70000 ha Land on lease to private entrepreneur
