The non-renewability, ecological concerns and health threats associated with the fossil fuels has actually caused expedition of alternative sources of energy to replace the traditional ones. An appealing technology, still in its infancy, that could show us the method to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels obtained from grease or animal-fat that might be utilized to run diesel motors. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, Jatropha etc can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It consists of no petroleum but can be mixed with petroleum diesel for use or might be used in its pure type.

Developed nations particularly United States and European Countries have actually already made substantial advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have actually found its usage across markets and verticals and might emerge as an ideal cleaner and more affordable option to fuel, diesel and fossil fuels. India has likewise started checking out the chances to produce and utilize bio-diesel. A number of plants for biodiesel transesterification are currently operating in the country where veggie oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol usually) to produce bio-diesel.

The main reason for the increasing demand for biodiesels is the fact that biodiesels are eco-friendly and carbon-neutral, hence having no net influence on the climate. Besides, bio-diesel runs in compression engines much like regular petroleum diesel and thus can be utilized with little or no engine modifications. Biodiesel do not require any separate facilities for its storage and can be saved simply like the petroleum based fuels.

Considering the growing energy need in the nation, rising petroleum rates and the ecological hazards of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has taken up efforts to develop the Bio Diesel Technology in India and set up more oil processing units. The Government revealed its 'National Biofuel Policy' on 12 September 2008 which aims to meet 20% of India's diesel need with bio-fuels in the coming years.

Globally, edible veggie oils like sunflower, soya bean, rape seed, palm oil are utilized as the pre-dominant basic materials for oil processing and biodiesel production but in India the maximum potential to produce biodiesels is from Jatropha oil - a non-edible one produced from the seeds of the Jatropha curcas. The most significant advantage of utilizing Jatropha as a basic material is that this plant can be grown in huge amounts in wastelands all throughout India needing extremely little water in comparison to other cash crops. Once grown, the plant has a helpful life expectancy of numerous years. The Jatropha seeds contain 40% oil and are thought about to be an outstanding source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has recognized 400,000 square kilometres of land suitable for the Jatropha cultivation in the nation. India now

A research study estimates that even if a mixing effort of 2% Jatropha based Biodiesel is attained in 2011-12, India will save around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will generate around Rs. 5500 crores in the rural economy and help in reduction of Green House Gas emission by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The government is taking steps to encourage the growing of Jatropha in India providing free seeds, subsidized loans and other centers. India needs to now enhance its to make the max usage of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides Jatropha, the opportunities for extracting biodiesel from vegetable oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil need to likewise be checked out. It will not just offer a response to the difficulty of Global Warming but could decrease our dependence on foreign oil and contribute to our own economy.
