Is there some one works on Jatropha oil as bio-jet resource?
I'm looking forward to have a partner works on Jatropha oil as bio-jet resource to join to our research group and set up proposal for FP7, 2014.
Dear Nail,
So far I know, jatropha is a very controversial feedstock for biofuel. It is advisable a careful assessment of agricultural aspects before starting.
most of bio jet fuel technologies do not care much about the source, jatropha is as good as any other try-glyceride
Yes.For the last two decades, many farmers in India cultivated jatropha trees.But they did not get expected yield from the plant. Still some units are producing bio diesel from jatropha seed oil.
Yeah!, it seems many peole work on this, just have a look at SAE Mobilus 'Renewable fuels', or at a chat started by Tarun Mehra, also in in SAE: Open Forum. I've added a question about an edible variant of Jatropha curcas, a plant much used for Biofuel production. Salut +
