Biodiesel Technology Need of the Hour for India
The non-renewability, ecological issues and health hazards connected with the has actually led to expedition of alternative sources of energy to replace the standard ones. A promising technology, still in its infancy, that could show us the way to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels originated from vegetable oil or animal-fat that might be used to run diesel engines. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, Jatropha etc can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It contains no petroleum but can be mixed with petroleum diesel for usage or could be utilized in its pure type.
Developed countries especially United States and European Countries have actually currently made substantial advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have found its use throughout industries and verticals and could become a perfect cleaner and cheaper option to petrol, diesel and nonrenewable fuel sources. India has also begun checking out the opportunities to produce and use bio-diesel. A variety of plants for biodiesel transesterification are currently operating in the nation where veggie oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol typically) to produce bio-diesel.
The primary reason for the increasing need for biodiesels is the reality that biodiesels are sustainable and carbon-neutral, hence having no net effect on the environment. Besides, bio-diesel runs in compression engines similar to regular petroleum diesel and hence can be used with little or no engine modifications. Biodiesel do not need any different infrastructure for its storage and can be stored much like the petroleum based fuels.
Considering the growing energy need in the nation, increasing petroleum costs and the environmental dangers of nonrenewable fuel sources, the Indian Government has actually taken up efforts to develop the Bio Diesel Technology in India and established more oil processing systems. The Government announced its ‘National Biofuel Policy’ on 12 September 2008 which intends 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 however 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 greatest benefit of using Jatropha as a basic material is that this plant can be grown in big amounts in wastelands all across India requiring very little water in comparison to other cash crops. Once grown, the plant has a useful life-span of a number of years. The Jatropha seeds contain 40% oil and are thought about to be an exceptional source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has identified 400,000 square kilometres of land suitable for the Jatropha growing in the nation. India now
A research study estimates that even if a mixing effort of 2% Jatropha based Biodiesel is achieved 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 decrease of Green House Gas emission by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The federal government is taking actions to encourage the growing of Jatropha in India supplying free seeds, subsidized loans and other facilities. India requires to now strengthen its efforts to make the maximum usage of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides Jatropha, the avenues for extracting biodiesel from veggie oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil should also be explored. It will not just offer an answer to the obstacle of Global Warming however could reduce our reliance on foreign oil and contribute to our own economy.
