Indian State to Plant 160 Million Jatropha Plants in Quest for Biofuel Self-Sufficiency
4 April 2006
 |
Kerala. The Indian state of Chhattisgarh will plant 160 million jatropha saplings in all its 16 districts this year with the aim of becoming a biofuel self-reliant state by 2015. (Earlier post.)
Some 80 million of the jatropha plants are to be planted by the forest department in wasteland areas, according to the report by the Indo-Asian News Service. Jatropha can thrive under a variety of geo-climatic conditions, has a low gestation period and a high seed-yield.
“In a bid to inspire small farmers for mass cultivation of jatropha, the government has decided to provide 500 jatropha saplings free of cost to farmers interested to cultivate it and 50 paise per sapling will be charged for above 500 saplings,” the [unnamed] official said.
The state of Chhattisgarh plans to earn Rs.40 billion (US$895 million) annually by selling seeds after 2010. It has advised the central government to introduce a national biofuel policy and provide a massive grant to states working on a long-term policy to emerge as biofuel self-reliant.

» Effective biodiesel farming from Seven Generational Ruminations
There's a worldwide push to develop biofuel resources, otherwise known as biodiesel.
In the U.S. this was given a big oomph when GW Bush announced we are addicted to oil, and proposed biofuel research using corn and switchgrass etc. But, consider for a m [Read More]

building fuel and a forest simultaneuosly. that is beautiful.
if not for the history of oppression and modern situation of corruption, incredible poverty and war in Saharan Africa, maybe a similar initiative would work there.
once you plant enough trees in the marginal areas, they will improve the soil and increase the moisture in the air, introducing moisture to areas downwind. through this process, the whole saharan desert could be reclaimed and (re)forested.
and if it is done using a high concentration of legumes (which are usually high in oil and also improve soil through nitrogen fixation) the forest could be a fuel source.

More on Jatropha here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatropha
http://www.biodieseltoday.com/
India does not possess significant fossil fuel assets of its own, so biofuels are part of an intelligent long-term energy strategy for this tropical country. The plant also has many secondary uses.
However, there are a few things worth noting:
a) Jathropa Curcas, though widely planted in India already, is not native to the subcontinent. Massive monocultures could very easily favor the establishment of pests that could also harm indigenous species.
http://bokudok.boku.ac.at/bokudok/search_project.show_project?project_id_in=351
http://www.ibw.com.ni/~biomasa/proceed.htm
b) Biodiesel is sulphur-free and produces less PM by mass than regular diesel. However, it produces just as much of the very fine, invisible PM2,5 (<2.5 micrometer) that represent the greatest danger to respiratory health. Therefore, India should also promote the use of particulate filters, at least on trucks and railway locomotives. Western solutions may still be prohibitively expensive for them, but the country has a large number of excellent engineers who can probably figure out retrofit strategies that they can then export to other countries.

Shaun,
Despite the corruption and war, there is significant food crop capacity in Africa today, only the EU/US subsidy situation won't let it realize its wealth potential for many Africans.
Perhaps it would be different with biofuel or fuel crops, but the US example of 100% duty on Brazilian ethanol isn't encouraging.

Could Diesel emissions be pass through a water pipe to Trap soot Ash & Particles?
Anyone Know?
Posted by: Query | Apr 4, 2006 12:57:49 PM
dimitri,
you are right. i should've listed oppression in both the history and modern list.
theoretically, the WTO is working towards reducing anti-competitive practices like subsidies at home and unfair tariffs for products from abroad.
unfortunately, these are politically unpopular in the agricultural swing states, so our system of government may not be up to the task.
from what i heard about the recent WTO meetings, the european governments weren't ready to change their practices, either.

I'm now in Thailand and doing foodstuffs business. I found Jetropha as one of most possible raw material of bio-diesel and it's getting much reputation in India.
If possible I would like to do plantation of Jetropha as business in future.
So please kindly advise about general information about Jetropha in India such as yield, production acres, oil specification and so on..

We have a five year old jatropha plantation in Tanzania, I am afraid all the so called facts on the web are very missleading, jatropha does not grow without water one secondly the yeilds talked about are unreal, you only have to know what a 5 year old tree grown under irrigation looks like to realise that these so called yeilds are fantacy, thirdly there are no established plantations in the world that we know of other than ours, BP planted there first nursery in India in 2006 we have researched Jatropha for 5 years and have had hundreds of people visiting us all with unfounded information.

I am an Indian Forester presently working with (International Institute for Applied systems analysis)IIASA,Austria. I know Jatropha and worked on a project on it in 1998-2001. Since then I know about Jatropha fairly well. Only in recent years it has become topic of everybody's interest. Any way, the data on yield reported by most sources are incorrect and highly misleading. It is no doubt a good idea to embark on bio-diesel but it requires some more experience on it by our farmers n businessmen.

Respected Sir,
Being an automotive engineer and having a wide experience working for automotive industry (Germany) in the fields like combustion development and emission, calibration and vehicle integration.
I'm interested in cultivating Jatropha for the production of an alternative fuel (Biodiesel) as biodiesel is produced from renewable raw materials, an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional diesel fuel. I would also like to promote it by making local farmers aware of its pros. This can provide a benefit for future generations and makes us independent of the limited mineral oil reserves and provides a benefit for future generations.
I'm interested in Jatropha cultivation in Rajasthan on large scale in a few districts like CHURU, JODHPUR, PALI, SIKAR and UDAIPUR. Can Jatropha be planted in these districts of Rajasthan? Please let me know the area/environment condition where it yields maximum.
I have seen your home page on the Internet and am most impressed by your services and would be interested in receiving some information on cultivation of Jatropha. I need your assistance and expertise in Biodiesel production right from site selection (low cost land available in plenty) for the Jatropha plantation to the end product.
I would be grateful if you could supply me with any relevant information you may have on Jatropha plantation.
Many thanks in advance for your attention to this enquiry.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
