What is the benefits of Jatropha??
This is my opinion about the benefits of Jatropha..
Jatropha curcas as an energy sources for now and later on.
Oil from Jatropha can be the source for substitute diesel. As we know diesel was used for some vehicles engines and the source of diesel are decrease from years to years. So, for the alternative way to substitute the diesel problems is by plant the Jatropha trees as commercial or non-commercial. Even the cost to produce diesel from Jatropha is higher than produce diesel from itself, but this is the way that we can create diesel from plants. Beside that, the plants oil also can decrease the air pollutions cause by using diesel. For other information, diesel produce smoke that can cause higher air pollution because of carbon monoxide.
Jatropha oil also is an important product for cooking and lighting needs of the rural population, boiler fuel for industrial purposes or as a viable substitute for diesel. Substitution of firewood by plant oil for household cooking in rural areas will not only alleviate the problems of deforestation but also improve the health because of the indoor smoke pollution from cooking by inefficient fuel and stoves in poorly ventilated space or kitchen in other words. Jatropha oil performs very safely and satisfactory when burnt using a conventional (paraffin) wick after some simple design changes in the physical configuration of the lamp.
The other benefits is Jatropha curcas will starts yielding from the second year onwards and continues for 40 years. Thats why now Jatropha become the good research and the good way to overcome or to substitute diesel. Yield from Jatropha are continues and just need the low maintenance for the trees. In addition, approximately 30 to 40% of oil extracted from the Jatropha curcas seed can be used for any diesel engine without modification.
