Biodiesel Technology Need of the Hour for India
The non-renewability, ecological concerns and health hazards connected with the nonrenewable fuel sources has caused exploration of alternative sources of energy to substitute the traditional ones. An appealing innovation, still in its infancy, that could show us the way to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels stemmed from grease or animal-fat that could be utilized to run diesel engines. 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 but can be combined with petroleum diesel for usage or might be utilized in its pure form.
Developed countries particularly United States and European Countries have actually currently made considerable advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have actually discovered its use throughout industries and verticals and might emerge as an ideal cleaner and cheaper option to gas, diesel and fossil fuels. India has likewise begun exploring the opportunities to produce and use bio-diesel. A variety of plants for biodiesel transesterification are already functioning in the country where vegetable oils are responded with alcohols (ethanol or methanol normally) to produce bio-diesel.
The primary factor for the increasing demand for biodiesels is the reality that biodiesels are sustainable and carbon-neutral, thus having no net effect on the environment. Besides, bio-diesel runs in compression engines similar to normal petroleum diesel and thus can be utilized with little or no engine adjustments. Biodiesel do not need any separate facilities for its storage and can be stored simply like the petroleum based fuels.
Considering the growing energy demand in the country, rising petroleum costs and the environmental dangers of nonrenewable fuel sources, the Indian Government has actually used up initiatives to develop the Bio Diesel Technology in India and established more oil processing units. The Government announced its ‘National Biofuel Policy’ on 12 September 2008 which aims to satisfy 20% of India’s diesel need 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 products for oil processing and biodiesel production but in India the maximum potential to produce biodiesels is from Jatropha oil – a non-edible one produced from the seeds of the Jatropha curcas. The greatest advantage of utilizing Jatropha as a raw material is that this plant can be grown in substantial quantities in wastelands all throughout India needing very little water in comparison to other money crops. Once grown, the plant has a helpful lifespan of a number of years. The Jatropha seeds consist of 40% oil and are thought about to be an outstanding source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has actually identified 400,000 square kilometres of land appropriate for the Jatropha growing in the country. India now
A research study approximates that even if a blending effort of 2% Jatropha based Biodiesel is accomplished in 2011-12, India will save around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will generate around Rs. 5500 crores in the rural economy and aid in decrease of Green House Gas emission by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The federal government is taking steps to motivate the growing of Jatropha in India providing free seeds, subsidized loans and other centers. India needs to now strengthen its efforts to make the fullest use of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides Jatropha, the avenues for extracting biodiesel from vegetable oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil should likewise be checked out. It will not just provide an answer to the difficulty of Global Warming however could decrease our reliance on foreign oil and contribute to our own economy.
