BIODIESEL FROM JATROPHA
Biodiesel can be produced from jatropha seeds through a process of extraction and refinement. Jatropha is a promising source of biodiesel feedstock because the plant grows well in low fertility soils and begins yielding seeds in the first year. A jatropha biodiesel production facility could produce biodiesel at a cost of Rs. 28 per liter and sell it at Rs. 32 per liter, generating a profit of Rs. 3 per liter. Jatropha biodiesel production offers opportunities for rural employment and economic development in India given the country's abundant wastelands suitable for jatropha cultivation.

- 8. Facts & Figures •The cost of 1kg of jatropha seeds in India is 6 Rupees. • The cost of 1000 jatropha saplings (enough for one acre) in Pakistan is around 5000PKR. • After the first five years, the typical annual yield of a jatropha tree is 3.5kg of beans. • Jatropha trees are productive for up to 30-40 years. • 2,200 trees can be planted per hectare (approx 1,000 per acre). • 1 hectare yields around 7 tonnes of seeds per year. • The oil pressed from 4kg of seeds is needed to make 1 litre of biodiesel
- 9. Facts & Figures •Glycerol, a biproduct of biodiesel refinement, can be sold in India for around 45-70p per kilogram. • Crushing 1 tonne of Jatropha seeds costs around $40 (£23) • 1 tonne of seedcake (the leftovers after pressing) can be sold for $100 (£55). • Filtered jatropha oil can be used as is in many diesel vehicles (as SVO) with only small modifications required to the engine. • Jatropha oil can be used as a kerosene substitute for heating and lamps. • Jatropha oil burns with a clear smokeless flame. • Bio-Diesel is sold in India at Rs.36/litre.

- 12. Production Cost andProfit • Cost of raw jatropha oil = Rs. 22/litre • Biodiesel processing cost = Rs. 9/litre • Cost of production = Rs. 31/litre • Less return from crude glycerol = Rs. 3/litre • Net cost of production = Rs. 28/litre • Dealers margin = Rs. 1/litre • Profit = Rs. 3/litre • Sale price of biodiesel = Rs. 32/litre
- 13. Practicality Indian Railways • SingedMoU with Indian Oil Corporation for planting Jatropha. • 43000 hec out which 81 hec is planted. • RDSO-Transesterification Plant for Biodiesel. Regenatec • British Company • JV activity in India with CleanStar. • Beed District. 01/29/16 13
- 14. Some more practicalities •The former President of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam, is one of the strong advocaters of Jatropha cultivation for production of bio-diesel. • The State Bank of India provided a boost to the cultivation of Jatropha in India by signing a MoU with D1 Mohan, a joint venture of D1 Oils plc, to give loans to the tune of 1.3 billion rupees to local farmers in India. 01/29/16 14 Older diesel Mercedes are popular for running on biodiesel
- 15. Conclusion • By mixingof 20 per cent biodiesel with diesel will help India to save 7.3x106 tonnes of diesel per year. • In India about 33 million hectares of wasteland is available and can effectively be used for cultivation of jatropha plants. • It offers business possibility to agricultural enterprises and rural employment.
