Biodiesel Technology Need of the Hour for India

The non-renewability, environmental concerns and health threats related to the nonrenewable fuel sources has actually caused expedition of alternative sources of energy to substitute the traditional ones. An appealing technology, still in its infancy, that might show us the method to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels stemmed from veggie oil or animal-fat that might be utilized to run diesel motors. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, Jatropha and so on can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It contains no petroleum however can be mixed with petroleum diesel for use or might be used in its pure form.

Developed nations specifically United States and European Countries have actually currently made considerable advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have actually found its usage across industries and verticals and could become a perfect cleaner and less expensive alternative to petrol, diesel and nonrenewable fuel sources. India has likewise begun checking out the opportunities to produce and use bio-diesel. A variety of plants for biodiesel transesterification are currently operating in the country where veggie oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol generally) to produce bio-diesel.

The primary factor for the increasing need for biodiesels is the fact that biodiesels are eco-friendly and carbon-neutral, thus having no net influence on the environment. Besides, bio-diesel runs in compression engines simply like normal petroleum diesel and for this reason can be used with little or no engine adjustments. Biodiesel do not need any separate facilities for its storage and can be stored much like the petroleum based fuels.

Considering the growing energy need in the nation, increasing petroleum prices and the ecological risks of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has actually taken up initiatives to establish the Bio Diesel Technology in India and set up more oil processing units. The Government announced its ‘National Biofuel Policy’ on 12 September 2008 which intends to fulfill 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 benefit of using Jatropha as a basic material is that this plant can be grown in substantial quantities in wastelands all across India needing very little water in comparison to other cash crops. Once grown, the plant has a useful life-span of a number of decades. The Jatropha seeds contain 40% oil and are considered to be an exceptional source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has determined 400,000 of land ideal for the Jatropha growing in the country. India now

A study approximates that even if a blending initiative of 2% Jatropha based Biodiesel is attained in 2011-12, India will conserve 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 federal government is taking actions to encourage the cultivation of Jatropha in India supplying complimentary seeds, subsidized loans and other centers. India requires to now enhance its efforts to make the max usage of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides Jatropha, the avenues for drawing out biodiesel from vegetable oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil should likewise be explored. It will not just offer a response to the difficulty of Global Warming however might decrease our dependence on foreign oil and add to our own economy.
