    Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly, renewable fuel that can be made from plant oils. Rudolf Diesel first tested peanut oil as a fuel in 1895. Biodiesel offers sustainability benefits like reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. India has potential to produce biodiesel from Jatropha plants grown on wastelands, which could meet some of the country's diesel needs, including for railways where available land could support Jatropha cultivation. Kharagpur railway division has taken a lead by establishing a biodiesel production plant that has conducted successful test runs on trains.

    BIO-DIESEL

    THE FUEL FOR FUTURE

    RENEWABLE,
    ALTERNATIVE,
    ENVIRONMENT
    FRIENDLY FUEL
    FIRST USE OF PEANUT OIL IN
    1895 BY DR RUDOLF DIESEL
    • “The use of vegetable
    oils for engine fuels
    may seem insignificant
    today. But such oils
    may become in course
    of time as important as
    petroleum and the coal
    tar products of the
    present time." 

    (1858 – 1913) 1912


    WHY BIOFUELS?

    WHAT IS BIODIESEL ?

    Biodiesel is vegetable oil processed to resemble Diesel Fuel

    Bio-diesel is ethyl or methyl ester of higher fatty acids and has


    properties similar to petroleum diesel fuels. It is made from plant
    based natural oil or animal fats. This oil has to be chemically
    modified into methyl and ethyl esters by trans-esterification
    process. This brings the viscosity of the oil at par with the petro-
    diesel and all other impurities are removed.
    IMPORTANCE OF BIODIESEL

    Environment friendly
    Clean burning
    Renewable fuel
    No engine modification
    Increase in engine life
    Biodegradable and non-toxic
    Easy to handle and store
    RAW MATERIALS

    Rapeseed, the major source (>80%)


    Sunflower oil (10%, Italy and Southern France)
    Soybean oil (USA & Brazil)
    Palm oil (Malaysia)
    Linseed, olive oils (Spain)
    Cottonseed oil (Greece)
    Beef tallow (Ireland), lard, used frying oil (Austria),
    Jatropha (Nicaragua & South Americas), Guang-Pi (China)
    OPPORTUNITY
    FOR INDIA
    CAN BIODIESEL WORK IN INDIA?

    India with just 2.4% of global area supports more than


    16% of the human population and 17% of the cattle
    population

    India is one of the largest importers of edible oil

    Where do we find the oil for biodiesel?

    A sustainable source of vegetable oil is to be found before


    we can think of biodiesel
    JATROPHA MAY BE THE ANSWER?

    • According to the Economic Survey (1995-96), Govt of India, of the cultivable land
    area about 100-150 million hectares are classified as waste or degraded land
    • Jatropha (Jatropha curcas, Ratanjyot, wild castor) thrives on any type of soil
    – Needs minimal inputs or management
    – Has no insect ,pests& not browsed by cattle or sheep
    – Can survive long periods of drought
    – Propagation is easy
    – Yield from the 3rd year onwards and continues for 35-40 years
    – 30% oil from seeds by expelling; 35% by solvent extraction
    – The meal after extraction an excellent organic manure (38% protein, N:P:K ratio
    2.7:1.2:1)
    Vision for India

    • Waste land available : 60 million HA.


    • Waste land available for Jatropha plantation : 30 million HA.
    • Plantation of Jatropha Curcas : 75,000 million trees.
    • Yield of seeds @ 3 kg/year : 225,000 million Kg.
    • Yield of Bio-Diesel @ 1/3 Kg of seed: 75,000 million Kg.
    or 75 million tonnes.

    This is 67% of total requirement of HSD in Transport sector

    BIODIESEL POTENTIAL
    - INDIAN RAILWAYS
    An estimate
    Route Kilometer About 63,000 km
    If 50% track available & 50 meters of both sides
    Approx area 315000 ha
    Considering a yield(seed) of 2 tons / ha
    Yield of oil crop 0.63 MMTPA
    Approx Biodiesel potential 220,000 tonnes i.e, about 10%
    of the Railways diesel requirements
    Jatropha Plantation

    Study by Agro-Forestry Federation – Maharashtra (1991)


     Jatropha is a hardy plant.
     Well adopted to arid, semi-arid conditions.
     Low fertility and moisture demand.
     Grow on stony, shallow or even calcareous soil.
     Propagated through seed or cuttings.
     Tolerate to scanty to heavy rainfall.
    Successful field trial

    of
    bio-diesel was conducted
    on
    Delhi-Amritsar Shatabadi express with five percent
    bio-diesel on 31.12.2002
    WHY BIODIESEL IMPORTANT FOR
    RAILWAYS

    Indian Rail has very large available land


    Bio-diesel will help Railways to :
    Improve upon emission norms
    Eventually reduce diesel cost
    Redeploy surplus manpower
    Contribute to Environment protection
    LEAD TAKEN BY
    KHARAGPUR
    MISSION SOIL TO OIL –THE
    KHARAGPUR EXPERIENCE
    Bio diesel esterification plant of 2 KL per day capacity was commissioned
    in July 2006. This bio-diesel production plant was sanctioned by GM/SER
    under law book item on out of turn basis. Work for design, erection and
    commissioning was awarded to M/s Malnad Extraction Ltd., Shimoga,
    Karnataka @Rs.28.95 lakhs. Various trial production of bio-diesel has been
    done through feed procured locally, total 3,800 litres (approx.) bio-diesel
    have been produced. This produced bio-diesel has confirmed to
    IS:15607/2005 during various lab testing. At present this bio-diesel is being
    used in three SRC based coaching locomotive as B-5 blend.
