Biodiesel Developed in India as a fuel oil , it has received wide attention, particularly in Asia (e.g. Indonesia[1] and the Philippines[2]), as a source of biodiesel. World map showing the location of Asia. ...
Biodiesel refers to a diesel-equivalent, processed fuel derived from biological sources (such as vegetable oils), which can be used in unmodified diesel-engined vehicles. ...
Myanmar is also actively pursuing the use of jatropha oil. In a meeting in January, 2006, Minister of Industry Aung Thaung spoke of using biodiesel from jatropha oil to meet Myanmar's fuel needs.[3] More recently, plans have been made to to cultivate 7,000,000 acres, and the project is said to be going forward.[citation needed] For the Manfred Mann album, see 2006 (album). ...
The plant yields more than four times as much fuel per hectare as soybean, and more than ten times that of corn. A hectare of jatropha produces 1,892 liters of fuel. . [4]
Jatropha is a one-stage conversion to biodiesel and the oil produces 40-42MJ/kg, as compared with 42.5-45MJ/kg for standard diesel.[5].
Researchers at Daimler Chrysler Research explored the use of jatropha oil for automotive use, concluding that although jatropha oil as fuel "has not yet reached optimal quality, ... it already fulfills the EU norm for biodiesel quality."[6]
