<br>The non-renewability, ecological issues and health hazards related to the nonrenewable fuel sources has caused expedition of alternative sources of energy to replace the standard ones. A promising innovation, still in its infancy, that might show us the method to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels stemmed from vegetable oil or animal-fat that could be used to run [diesel engines](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048). Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) and so on can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It consists of no petroleum but can be combined with petroleum diesel for usage or might be utilized in its pure kind.<br>
<br>Developed countries particularly United States and European Countries have already made substantial advances in the Biodiesel Technology. [Biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) have actually discovered its usage throughout industries and verticals and could emerge as an ideal cleaner and cheaper option to gas, diesel and fossil fuels. India has actually also begun checking out the opportunities to produce and use [bio-diesel](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited). A variety of plants for [biodiesel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) transesterification are currently functioning in the country where veggie oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol usually) to produce bio-diesel.<br>
<br>The main factor for the increasing need for biodiesels is the reality that [biodiesels](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) are renewable and carbon-neutral, thus having no net effect on the environment. Besides, bio-diesel operates in compression engines similar to regular petroleum diesel and for this reason can be used with little or no engine modifications. [Biodiesel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) do not need any different facilities for its [storage](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and can be saved similar to the petroleum based fuels.<br>
<br>Considering the growing energy demand in the country, rising petroleum prices and the environmental risks of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has taken up initiatives to establish the Bio Diesel Technology in India and established more oil processing systems. The Government announced its 'National [Biofuel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) Policy' on 12 September 2008 which intends to meet 20% of India's diesel demand with bio-fuels in the coming years.<br>
<br>Globally, edible veggie oils like sunflower, soya bean, rape seed, palm oil are used as the pre-dominant raw [materials](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) for oil processing and biodiesel production however in India the optimal capacity to produce biodiesels is from [Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) oil - a non-edible one produced from the seeds of the [Jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048). The most significant benefit of using [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) as a raw material is that this plant can be grown in big quantities in wastelands all across India requiring extremely little water in comparison to other cash crops. Once grown, the plant has a beneficial lifespan of several decades. The [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) [seeds consist](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) of 40% oil and are thought about to be an [excellent source](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) of bio-diesel. The Government of India has actually recognized 400,000 square kilometres of land appropriate for the [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) growing in the country. India now<br>
<br>A study estimates that even if a mixing effort of 2% [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) based Biodiesel is achieved in 2011-12, India will conserve around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will create around Rs. 5500 crores in the rural economy and help in reduction of Green House Gas emission by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The government is taking actions to encourage the cultivation of [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) in India offering totally free seeds, subsidized loans and other centers. India requires to now reinforce its efforts to make the maximum usage of the [Biodiesel](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) Technology. Besides [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/), the avenues for extracting biodiesel from veggie oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil ought to also be explored. It will not only offer a response to the difficulty of Global Warming but could reduce our reliance on and add to our own economy.<br>
