Rural Indians have used it for centuries as a cooking fuel, and the British used it to run their generator sets. During World War II when the Japanese occupation of Burma cut off India's petroleum supply, Jatropha oil was substituted for diesel in locomotives and motor vehicles. Most recently, Indian Railways interviewed retired employees who had used straight Jatropha oil before launching its Jatropha biodiesel program. Heller and other authors have documented a surprising number of uses of Jatropha oil and seedcake as fuel and are well worth reading for information and inspiration. Good luck with the conference! I think the interview with Pradip Bhar was exceptionally helpful and informative. I’m very glad to see straight Jatropha oil finally coming into its own again.

We have been harvesting capsules since March, 2008 and using the seeds for nursery stock. We would now like to start extracting oil from the seeds. Can you provide availability of small scale oil extraction machines and the best technique to be used.

Dejaros Sun, 07 Sep 2008 06:42:33 +0000 http://futureenergyevents.com/jatropha/?p=209#comment-886 Greetings, We had just finished consolidating an area of 100,000 hectares more or less for Jatropha plantation. 100k has. are (Vacant and idle) intermidiate upland which is just our initial phase for Jatropha dev't. and its industries considering our area is the number sugar exporter in our country. This means, the soil and climatic condition is superb for Jatropha compared to all the areas I read and published in the journals since 8 years ago. With a rolling terrain and sloops yet the infrastructures are well developed, the plantation can really arrest soil erosions thus preventing flooding to the areas inhabited and planted with sugarcanes. Labor force is ever ready and bountiful which this project is of great help in the upliftment of their human conditions. Now, with the vission cited above, we want to know and seek your advise where we can secure the Planting Techonology (transfer Techology), Machineries and equiptments for biofuel proceesing (Turn Key is highly preferrable), Accreditation and Market of the Carbon Credit by this Project. Can we enter into a contract with our suppliers (Seeds and Machieneries) and long term buyers (Carbon Credit) to be able to sort out financing/fundings? Are SBLC's and Bank Guarantees are financiable securities for the noble projects?...It hits so many dimentions namely: Global warming, anti-poverty, human management, greenhouse effect, financial security or as a whole, a humanitarian project- turning liabilities into assts and productivity. Thank you. Waiting and longing for your immediate assistance to all of our inquiries stated above. God Bless! Sincerely yours, Alan Greetings,

We are currently working on a research about a stove that utilizes jatropha seed as fuel. The result was convincing in terms of cooking time and boiling time, however the significant amount of soot produced caught our attention. Do you have any idea on how to reduce the soot production of jatropha seed as fuel? Is it really on jatropha seed or on the design of our stove? We hope you can help us on this matter. Thank you very much and more power! Greetings!

At this current moment, the use of Jatropha in the global energy demand pie is very small, but it isn't going to remain a small proportion anymore. Consider this, large parcels of degraded land in Asia, South America & Africa is being cultivated with Jatropha. There is also cultivation in Florida, Hawaii and some tests in California. Close to the US, Mexico is also starting to cultivate Jatropha as an energy crop. Is it a third world niche fuel? Considering that the demand for Biodiesel and Heating fuel from Jatropha is very first world centric, (and the third world applications of Jatropha are at a micro-scale), Jatropha isn't a third world niche energy crop. However, this isn't the silver bullet solution! I encourage you to read our white paper on the topic, 'Best Practices for Long-term Jatropha Development', which essentially looks at the challenges to the long-term sustainability of Jatropha and its role in the global energy marketplace. Thanks for your comment, and I look forward to hearing from you on this forum! Sincerely, divyasangam Hi microchap,

Do you have any information on potential resource availability i.e. how much is realistic fuel value globaly as percentage of current energy demand. Is this a niche fuel for thrid world or a major energy source? Sounds very interesting (product and event).
