<br>Constantly the [biodiesel industry](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) is searching for some alternative to produce sustainable energy. Biodiesel prepared from canola, sunflower and [jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) can replace or be combined with traditional diesel. During first half of 2000's [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) [biofuel](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) made the headlines as an incredibly popular and appealing alternative. It is prepared from [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy), a plant species belonging to Central America that can be grown on wasteland.<br>

<br> is a non edible plant that grows in the arid regions. The plant grows very rapidly and it can yield seeds for about 50 years. The oil got from its seeds can be used as a [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL). This can be blended with petroleum diesel. Previously it has actually been used twice with algae mix to sustain 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 fine-tuning them. It is also used for medical purpose. Supporters of [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) biodiesel say that the flames of [jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) oil are smoke free and they are effectively checked for easy diesel engines.<br>

<br>[jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) [biodiesel](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) as Renewable Energy Investment has actually drawn in the interest of lots of companies, which have actually evaluated it for vehicle usage. Jatropha [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) has actually been roadway tested by Mercedes and 3 of the cars and trucks have actually covered 18,600 miles by utilizing the jatropha plant biodiesel.<br>

<br>Since it is because of some drawbacks, the [jatropha](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) [biodiesel](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) have ruled out as a terrific renewable energy. The biggest issue is that nobody knows that what precisely the productivity rate of the plant is. Secondly they do not know how large scale cultivation might impact the soil quality and the environment as a whole. The [jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) plant needs five times more water per energy than corn and sugarcane. This raises another concern. On the other hand it is to be noted that [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) can grow on tropical environments with annual rains of about 1000 to 1500 mm. A thing to be kept in mind is that [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) needs appropriate watering in the first year of its plantation which lasts for years.<br>

<br>Recent survey says that it is true that jatropha can grow on degraded land with little water and bad nutrition. But there is no proof for the yield to be high. This might be proportional to the quality of the soil. In such a case it may require high quality of land and may need the very same quagmire that is faced by the majority of [biofuel](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) types.<br>

<br>Jatropha has one primary disadvantage. The seeds and leaves of jatropha are harmful to people and livestock. This made the Australian federal government to ban the plant in 2006. The federal government declared the plant as intrusive species, and too dangerous for western Australian farming and the environment here (DAFWQ 2006).<br>

<br>While [jatropha curcas](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) has promoting budding, there are variety of research difficulties remain. The importance of detoxing has actually to be studied since of the toxicity of the plant. Along side a methodical study of the oil yield need to be undertaken, this is extremely crucial since of high yield of jatropha would probably required before [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) can be contributed considerably to the world. Lastly it is likewise very important to study about the [jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) types that can make it through in more temperature climate, as [jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) is extremely much limited in the tropical climates.<br>
