<br>The non-renewability, environmental issues and health dangers associated with the nonrenewable fuel sources has caused exploration of alternative sources of energy to replace the standard ones. A promising technology, still in its infancy, that could show us the way to the future ahead is Biodiesels. Biodiesels are diesel fuels [originated](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) from grease or animal-fat that could be utilized to run [diesel motors](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price). Vegetables oils like sunflower, rape seed, palm oil, soya bean, [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) etc can be subjected to oil processing to produce biodiesels. It includes no petroleum however can be blended with petroleum diesel for use or could be utilized in its pure form.<br>

<br>Developed nations especially United States and European Countries have actually already made significant advances in the Biodiesel Technology. [Biodiesel](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) have actually found its use throughout markets and verticals and could emerge as a perfect cleaner and cheaper option to gas, diesel and . India has also started exploring the chances to produce and use bio-diesel. A variety of plants for biodiesel transesterification are currently working in the country where vegetable oils are reacted with alcohols (ethanol or methanol generally) to produce bio-diesel.<br>

<br>The main reason for the increasing demand for biodiesels is the truth that biodiesels are eco-friendly and carbon-neutral, hence having no net effect on the environment. Besides, bio-diesel operates in compression engines simply like typical petroleum diesel and for this reason can be used with little or no engine adjustments. Biodiesel do not require any separate infrastructure for its storage and can be stored simply like the petroleum based fuels.<br>

<br>Considering the growing energy demand in the country, rising petroleum rates and the ecological hazards of fossil fuels, the Indian Government has actually used up efforts to establish the Bio Diesel Technology in India and established more oil processing units. The Government announced its 'National [Biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) Policy' on 12 September 2008 which intends to satisfy 20% of India's diesel need 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 products for oil processing and [biodiesel production](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) however in India the maximum potential to produce biodiesels is from [jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) oil - a [non-edible](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) one produced from the seeds of the [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited). The most significant advantage of utilizing [Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) as a raw material is that this plant can be grown in substantial amounts in wastelands all across India needing very little water in contrast to other [cash crops](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy). Once grown, the plant has a useful [lifespan](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) of numerous years. The [jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) seeds consist of 40% oil and are thought about to be an outstanding source of bio-diesel. The Government of India has actually recognized 400,000 square kilometres of land ideal for the [Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [cultivation](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) in the nation.

<br>A study approximates that even if a mixing initiative of 2% [jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) based [Biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) is achieved in 2011-12, India will conserve around Rs. 3000 crores. Besides, it will produce around Rs. 5500 crores in the rural economy and aid in reduction of Green House Gas emission by 3 Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) every year. The government is taking steps to motivate the cultivation of [jatropha curcas](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) in India supplying free seeds, subsidized loans and other facilities. India requires to now [reinforce](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) its efforts to make the fullest usage of the [Biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) Technology. Besides [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy), the opportunities for drawing out biodiesel from vegetable oils, fats, sunflower, rape seed oil and palm oil need to also be checked out. It will not just provide an answer to the difficulty of Global Warming but could decrease our reliance on foreign oil and add to our own economy.<br>
