Biodiesel Technology Need of the Hour for India

The non-renewability, ecological issues and health threats connected with the nonrenewable fuel sources has resulted in exploration of alternative sources of energy to substitute the standard ones. An appealing technology, still in its infancy, that might show us the way to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels originated from grease or animal-fat that might be used to run diesel engines. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, Jatropha and so on can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It includes no petroleum however can be combined with petroleum diesel for use or could be used in its pure kind.

Developed nations especially United States and European Countries have actually currently made significant advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have discovered its usage throughout industries and verticals and could emerge as a perfect cleaner and cheaper alternative to fuel, diesel and nonrenewable fuel sources. India has actually also begun checking out the chances to produce and use bio-diesel. A number of plants for biodiesel transesterification are currently operating in the country where vegetable oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol typically) to produce bio-diesel.

The primary factor for the increasing demand for biodiesels is the reality that biodiesels are eco-friendly and carbon-neutral, therefore having no net effect on the climate. Besides, bio-diesel operates in compression engines similar to normal petroleum diesel and hence can be utilized with little or no engine modifications. Biodiesel do not require any different infrastructure for its storage and can be saved just like the petroleum based fuels.

Considering the growing energy demand in the nation, increasing petroleum prices and the ecological threats of nonrenewable fuel sources, the Indian Government has taken up efforts to establish 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 intends to satisfy 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 utilized as the pre-dominant raw materials for oil processing and biodiesel production however in India the maximum capacity to produce biodiesels is from Jatropha oil – a non-edible one produced from the seeds of the Jatropha curcas. The most significant advantage of using Jatropha as a raw material is that this plant can be grown in huge quantities in wastelands all across India requiring extremely little water in comparison to other cash crops. Once grown, the plant has a beneficial lifespan of numerous years. The Jatropha seeds contain 40% oil and are considered to be an excellent source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has actually recognized 400,000 of land appropriate for the Jatropha growing in the nation. India now

A study approximates that even if a mixing initiative of 2% Jatropha based Biodiesel is attained in 2011-12, India will conserve around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will produce 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 government is taking actions to motivate the growing of Jatropha in India supplying totally free seeds, subsidized loans and other facilities. India needs to now enhance its efforts to make the fullest use of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides Jatropha, the opportunities for extracting biodiesel from veggie oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil ought to also be checked out. It will not just offer an answer to the obstacle of Global Warming however could reduce our dependence on foreign oil and add to our own economy.
