<br>The non-renewability, ecological issues and health risks connected with the fossil fuels has resulted in expedition of alternative sources of energy to substitute the conventional ones. An appealing innovation, still in its infancy, that could reveal us the way to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels derived from grease or [animal-fat](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) that might be used to run diesel motors. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and so on can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It contains no petroleum however can be combined with petroleum diesel for usage or might be utilized in its pure type.<br>
<br>Developed countries especially United States and European Countries have currently made significant advances in the Biodiesel Technology. [Biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) have found its usage throughout markets and verticals and could emerge as an ideal cleaner and less expensive option to fuel, diesel and fossil fuels. India has likewise started checking out the opportunities to produce and use bio-diesel. A variety of plants for biodiesel transesterification are currently operating in the nation where vegetable oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol generally) to produce bio-diesel.<br>
<br>The main reason for the increasing need for biodiesels is the fact that biodiesels are renewable and carbon-neutral, thus having no net effect on the environment. Besides, bio-diesel operates in compression engines just like normal petroleum diesel and for this reason can be utilized with little or no engine adjustments. Biodiesel do not require any separate infrastructure for its storage and can be stored much like the petroleum based fuels.<br>
<br>Considering the growing energy demand in the nation, rising petroleum prices and the ecological threats of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has taken up initiatives to develop the Bio Diesel Technology in India and set up more oil processing systems. The Government announced its 'National Biofuel Policy' on 12 September 2008 which aims to meet 20% of India's diesel need with bio-fuels in the coming years.<br>
<br>Globally, edible veggie oils like sunflower, soya bean, rape seed, palm oil are utilized as the pre-dominant basic materials for oil processing and biodiesel production however in India the maximum capacity to produce biodiesels is from Jatropha oil - a non-edible one produced from the seeds of the [Jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html). The most significant advantage of utilizing Jatropha as a raw product is that this plant can be grown in big amounts in all across India needing really little water in comparison to other cash crops. Once grown, the plant has a useful life-span of several decades. The [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) seeds contain 40% oil and are considered to be an exceptional source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has recognized 400,000 square kilometres of land appropriate for the [Jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) cultivation in the nation. India now<br>
<br>A research study estimates that even if a blending initiative of 2% Jatropha based Biodiesel is attained in 2011-12, India will save around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will produce 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 actions to motivate the growing of Jatropha in India offering totally free seeds, subsidized loans and other centers. India needs to now reinforce its efforts to make the fullest use of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides [Jatropha](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889), the opportunities for drawing out biodiesel from veggie oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil must likewise be checked out. It will not only supply an answer to the obstacle of Global Warming but could decrease our reliance on foreign oil and add to our own economy.<br>
