<br>The non-renewability, environmental concerns and health hazards related to the nonrenewable fuel sources has actually resulted in expedition of alternative sources of energy to replace the standard ones. A promising technology, still in its infancy, that could show us the way to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels derived from vegetable oil or animal-fat that might be used to run diesel motors. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) etc can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It includes no petroleum however can be blended with petroleum diesel for use or might be utilized in its pure type.<br>
<br>Developed nations specifically United States and [European Countries](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) have currently made significant advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have discovered its use throughout industries and [verticals](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) and might become a perfect cleaner and cheaper alternative to fuel, diesel and nonrenewable fuel sources. India has actually likewise begun checking out the chances to produce and use bio-diesel. A number of plants for biodiesel transesterification are already operating in the nation where veggie oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol typically) to produce bio-diesel.<br>
<br>The main reason for the increasing demand for biodiesels is the reality that biodiesels are sustainable and carbon-neutral, thus having no net influence on the climate. Besides, bio-diesel runs in compression engines simply like normal petroleum diesel and for this reason can be utilized with little or no engine adjustments. Biodiesel do not need any different facilities for its storage and can be kept much like the petroleum based fuels.<br>
<br>Considering the growing energy demand in the nation, rising petroleum prices and the environmental hazards of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has used up initiatives to establish the Bio Diesel Technology in India and set up more oil processing units. The Government revealed its ['National Biofuel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) [Policy'](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) on 12 September 2008 which intends to fulfill 20% of India's diesel demand with bio-fuels in the coming years.<br>
<br>Globally, edible vegetable oils like sunflower, soya bean, rape seed, are used as the pre-dominant basic materials for oil processing and biodiesel production but in India the optimal potential to produce biodiesels is from [Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) oil - a non-edible one [produced](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) from the seeds of the [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889). The most significant advantage of utilizing [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) as a raw material is that this plant can be grown in substantial quantities in wastelands all across India needing very little water in comparison to other money crops. Once grown, the plant has a useful lifespan of [numerous decades](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048). The [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) seeds contain 40% oil and are thought about to be an outstanding source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has [identified](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) 400,000 square kilometres of land suitable for the [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) growing in the [country](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US). India now<br>
<br>A study estimates that even if a blending initiative of 2% [Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) based Biodiesel is achieved in 2011-12, India will save around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will produce around Rs. 5500 crores in the rural economy and assistance in reduction of Green House [Gas emission](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The [government](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is taking steps to [encourage](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) the cultivation of [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) in India offering free seeds, subsidized loans and other centers. India needs to now enhance its efforts to make the maximum usage of the Biodiesel Technology. Besides [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86), the opportunities for extracting [biodiesel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) from vegetable oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil should likewise be explored. It will not only provide an answer to the challenge of Global Warming however could decrease our reliance on foreign oil and contribute to our own economy.<br>
