Introduction of the Nontoxic Jatropha Cultivar to Uganda
Uganda is for purposes of using this plant/cultivar as a Bioenergy crop and feedstock for a number of high-value products. The benefits are a long term goals (SDGs) for poverty eradication, land degradation mitigation, food security, climate change mitigation etc The physicochemical properties of Jatropha-oil give it great potential for industrial
Jatropha curcas L. is a non-edible, oil-bearing, and zero waste perennial shrub or small tree belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family. The plant is commonly known by several names, such as Barbados nut, termite plant, fig nut, black vomit nut, curcas bean, physic nut, and purge nut.
JATROPHA OIL PRODUCTION FOR BIODIESEL AND OTHER
other site, and 15,000 t of jatropha oil to a central processing plant. By year 4-5 the capacity of each pressing plant will need to be fully organised with any .
Jatropha, as a biofuel crop, has been claimed to have many desirable characteristics such as rapid growth, easy propagation, drought tolerance, insect and pest resistance, and particularly seeds with high oil content (27–40%) and desired quality for biodiesel and biokerosene fuel production (Pandey et al. 2012; Dias et al. 2012; Edrisi et al. 2015; DIBER 2017).
Suitability analysis for Jatropha curcas production in
Background Jatropha is an oil-bearing plant growing in tropical and subtropical regions of the world within 30°N and 35°S latitudes. It is considered as a potential solution to the prevailing shortage of fossil fuel and environmental challenges. However, in most parts of Africa including Ethiopia, traditional land allocation systems for biodiesel investment do not involve integration of
Other research has stated that the oil yield of Jatropha seeds is competitive compared to soybean and rapeseed which both produce lesser oil by weight [39]. Further, the Jatropha oil can be converted to biofuel which easily meets the American and European standards [40], [41]. The Jatropha seeds (2–3 seeds in each fruit) are covered by shells
Jatropha: A Promising Crop for Africa’s Biofuel Production?
Jatropha has often been proposed as a miracle crop for the production of oil, because of the high yields and low requirements in terms of land quality, climate and crop management. A large number of companies have started with jatropha production in Africa which is projected to increase rapidly. Yet, the sector is not fully developed
Jatropha curcas is an important oilseed plant, with considerable potential in the development of biodiesel. Although Jatropha seed cake, the byproduct of oil extraction, is a residue rich in
Jatropha: Biodiesel and More – Farm Energy, Extension
Jatropha is often planted as a “living fence” to keep out livestock and reduce wind erosion. The surface roots help prevent soil erosion. In Madagascar and Uganda, jatropha is grown to provide support and shade for vanilla plants.Plant extracts of jatropha are used for dying cloth, and as a traditional medicine for humans and animals.
But, the combustion of the engine of clean jatropha oil is less effective in terms of energy (Bej 2002) with some issues associated with the engine (Meher et al. 2006). 15.4.4.2 Promising Repercussions on Global Warming. Two life cycle approaches has been exercised: (a) biofuel production from jatropha and (b) biofuel production from fossil fuels.
