Non Edible Oil as Biofuels: Resource development

1
Non Edible Oil as Bio-fuels Resource development
2

• Certain suggestions on the Policy document
• Government institutions to use bio-fuel
• Govt. managed hostels,
• Training institutes
• Selected Govt. Offices
• Earmark certain blocks/villages for energisation
  with bio-fuels on the lines of Rural Electricity
  Corporations State Electricity Boards to take
  initiative
• Centrally sponsored Scheme for afforestation with
  bio-fuel rich species scheme should have
  linkage with extraction and end use
• Encourage financial institutions to lend for
  bio-fuel sector interest subsidy
• Task force at state level to coordinate and
  monitor

• Resource development
• Crucial factor is practicality number of plants
  required to sustain running one oil engine or
  energising one house or to run one car or any
  corresponding vehicle for a given period of time
• While it may not totally replace any other form
  of energy source, it can be a good substitute in
  remote locations

Resource development Short list species for
propagation and use Pongemia Mahua Neem Jatrop
ha These are naturally occurring in forest and
other lands privately owned and common
lands These species are suitable for dry areas
5
Resource development Annual productivity of these
species Pongemia 25 40 Kg per tree 7-8
years Mahua 30-40 Kg per tree 10-15
years Neem 10-15 Kg per tree 10
years Jatropha 5 - 10 Kg per tree 3-5
years There is need for research to enhance
yields and shorten the gestation period Tree
breeding Vegetative propagation grafting,
tissue culture Package of practices for higher
yields

Resource development Possibilities Centrally
sponsored scheme Dovetail in other ongoing
Afforestation schemes Involve village level
organizations for afforestation Watershed and
other Rural development programmes Social
Forestry Avenue plantations Farm
Forestry Block planting in degraded
forests common lands Govt. and other
institutions Nurseries Kissan nurseries
