<br>The non-renewability, [ecological issues](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) and health hazards related to the nonrenewable fuel sources has caused expedition of alternative sources of energy to substitute the traditional ones. An appealing technology, still in its infancy, that might reveal us the way 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. Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, [Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) etc can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It includes no petroleum however can be blended with petroleum diesel for usage or might be used in its pure kind.<br>
<br>Developed nations particularly United States and European Countries have already made significant advances in the Biodiesel Technology. Biodiesel have found its usage across and verticals and could become a perfect cleaner and cheaper alternative to petrol, diesel and fossil fuels. India has likewise [begun checking](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) out the [opportunities](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) to produce and use bio-diesel. A number of plants for [biodiesel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) transesterification are already working in the country where vegetable oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol usually) to produce bio-diesel.<br>
<br>The main reason for the increasing need for biodiesels is the truth that biodiesels are [eco-friendly](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) and carbon-neutral, thus having no net effect on the climate. Besides, bio-diesel operates in compression engines much like normal petroleum diesel and for this reason can be used with little or no engine modifications. Biodiesel do not need any separate infrastructure for its storage and can be saved just like the petroleum based fuels.<br>
<br>Considering the growing energy demand in the nation, rising petroleum costs and the ecological dangers of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has actually used up efforts to develop the Bio Diesel Technology in India and established more oil processing systems. The Government announced its 'National [Biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) Policy' on 12 September 2008 which intends to meet 20% of India's diesel need with bio-fuels in the coming years.<br>
<br>Globally, edible vegetable oils like sunflower, soya bean, rape seed, palm oil are utilized as the pre-dominant raw materials for oil processing and [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) production but in India the maximum capacity to produce biodiesels is from [jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) oil - a non-edible one produced from the seeds of the [Jatropha curcas](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608). The biggest advantage of using [jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) as a raw material is that this plant can be grown in huge quantities in wastelands all across India needing really little water in comparison to other cash crops. Once grown, the plant has a useful [life-span](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) of a number of years. The [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) seeds contain 40% oil and are considered to be an excellent source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has determined 400,000 square kilometres of land ideal for the [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) growing in the country. India now<br>
<br>A study estimates that even if a mixing effort of 2% [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) based [Biodiesel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is attained in 2011-12, India will conserve around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will create around Rs. 5500 crores in the rural economy and assistance in [reduction](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) of Green House Gas emission by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The government is taking steps to motivate the growing of [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) in India offering [totally](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) free seeds, subsidized loans and other facilities. India needs to now reinforce its efforts to make the max use of the [Biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) Technology. Besides [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889), the avenues for extracting biodiesel from veggie oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil should likewise be checked out. It will not just supply an answer to the obstacle of Global Warming but might decrease our dependence on foreign oil and contribute to our own economy.<br>
