<br>Constantly the biodiesel industry is trying to find some alternative to produce renewable resource. [Biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) prepared from canola, sunflower and [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) can replace or be combined with standard diesel. During first half of 2000's [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) made the headings as an incredibly popular and promising alternative. It is prepared from [jatropha curcas](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), a plant species belonging to Central America that can be grown on wasteland.<br>
<br>[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) is a non edible plant that grows in the dry areas. The plant grows very quickly and it can yield seeds for about 50 years. The oil got from its seeds can be used as a [biofuel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). This can be blended with [petroleum diesel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL). Previously it has actually been used twice with algae mix to fuel test flight of airlines.<br>
<br>Another favorable method of jatorpha seeds is that they have 37% oil content and they can be burned as a fuel without improving them. It is also used for medical purpose. Supporters of [jatropha](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) biodiesel state that the flames of [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) oil are smoke free and they are effectively tested for simple diesel engines.<br>
<br>Jatropha biodiesel as Renewable resource Investment has actually attracted the interest of numerous companies, which have actually checked it for automobile use. Jatropha [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) has actually been roadway checked by Mercedes and three of the vehicles have actually covered 18,600 miles by utilizing the [jatropha curcas](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) plant biodiesel.<br>
<br>Since it is since of some drawbacks, the jatropha biodiesel have actually ruled out as a terrific eco-friendly energy. The biggest issue is that no one understands that just what the productivity rate of the plant is. Secondly they don't understand how big scale growing may affect the soil quality and the environment as a whole. The [jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) plant needs five times more water per energy than corn and sugarcane. This raises another concern. On the other hand it is to be kept in mind that [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) can grow on tropical climates with yearly rains of about 1000 to 1500 mm. A thing to be kept in mind is that [jatropha curcas](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) requires correct irrigation in the very first year of its plantation which lasts for decades.<br>
<br>Recent study says that it is true that [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) can grow on degraded land with little water and bad nutrition. But there is no evidence for the yield to be high. This might be proportional to the quality of the soil. In such a case it might need high [quality](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) of land and may need the very same quagmire that is faced by the majority of [biofuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) types.<br>
<br>Jatropha has one main downside. The seeds and leaves of jatropha are harmful to humans and animals. This made the Australian federal government to prohibit the plant in 2006. The federal government stated the plant as intrusive species, and too risky for [western Australian](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) farming and the environment here (DAFWQ 2006).<br>
<br>While [jatropha](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) has promoting budding, there are number of research study obstacles remain. The significance of detoxing needs to be studied since of the toxicity of the plant. Along side an organized research study of the oil yield need to be carried out, this is really important due to the fact that of high yield of would most likely required before jatropha can be contributed substantially to the world. Lastly it is likewise very essential to study about the jatropha species that can survive in more temperature level climate, as [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is quite limited in the tropical climates.<br>
