Biodiesel Technology Need of the Hour for India

The non-renewability, environmental concerns and health hazards connected with the nonrenewable fuel sources has caused exploration of alternative sources of energy to replace the standard ones. A promising innovation, still in its infancy, that might show us the method to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels originated from vegetable oil or animal-fat that could be used to run diesel motors. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, and so on can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It includes no petroleum however can be blended with petroleum diesel for usage or might be utilized in its pure form.

Developed nations particularly United States and European Countries have already made considerable advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have actually discovered its use across markets and verticals and could become a perfect cleaner and less expensive alternative to petrol, diesel and fossil fuels. India has actually also begun checking out the chances to produce and use bio-diesel. A variety of plants for biodiesel transesterification are already operating in the nation where vegetable oils are responded with alcohols (ethanol or methanol generally) to produce bio-diesel.

The main factor for the increasing need for biodiesels is the reality that biodiesels are eco-friendly and carbon-neutral, hence having no net effect on the climate. Besides, bio-diesel operates in compression engines similar to regular petroleum diesel and thus can be utilized with little or no engine adjustments. Biodiesel do not require any separate infrastructure for its storage and can be stored simply like the petroleum based fuels.

Considering the growing energy demand in the country, rising petroleum prices and the ecological dangers of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has used 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 demand with bio-fuels in the coming years.

Globally, edible vegetable oils like sunflower, soya bean, rape seed, palm oil are used as the pre-dominant raw products for oil processing and biodiesel production but in India the optimal potential to produce biodiesels is from Jatropha oil – a non-edible one produced from the seeds of the Jatropha curcas. The biggest benefit of utilizing Jatropha as a raw material is that this plant can be grown in big amounts in wastelands all throughout India needing very little water in comparison to other money crops. Once grown, the plant has a beneficial life-span of a number of decades. 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 appropriate for the Jatropha growing in the nation. India now

A study approximates that even if a blending effort of 2% Jatropha based Biodiesel is achieved in 2011-12, India will conserve around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will create around Rs. 5500 crores in the rural economy and assistance in reduction of Green House Gas emission by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The federal government is taking actions to motivate the cultivation of Jatropha in India supplying free seeds, subsidized loans and other facilities. India requires to now enhance its efforts to make the maximum use of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides Jatropha, the opportunities for drawing out biodiesel from vegetable oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil must likewise be checked out. It will not only provide a response to the challenge of Global Warming but could decrease our dependence on foreign oil and add to our own economy.
