Biodiesel resources can provide energy security
WITH THE upsurge in economic activities, India is consuming over a whopping 127 million tonnes of crude oil a year and is forced to import about 70 per cent of its needs. The current yearly consumption of diesel alone is approximately 40 million tonnes in India constituting about 40 per cent of all petro-products.
In the current scenario, exploring energy alternatives in the form of bio-fuels, namely, ethanol and biodiesel assumes top priority.
Biodiesel, derived from the plants (bearing oils) like sunflower, rapeseed, canola or Jatropha Curcas, can be used as a substitute or an additive to diesel.
Biodiesel can provide power similar to conventional diesel and thus can be used in diesel engines. Biodiesel is non-toxic and environment friendly as it produces substantially less carbon monoxide and the combustion gasescontain no sulphur dioxide and unburnt hydrocarbons. "
