I am presently doing my Ph.D in Developing technical education
programs in renewables to be more specific i have chosen
wind and jatropha. I chose wind and jatropha because I personally
am of the opinion after my literature survey that if we become leaders
in these two renewables it will be just a question of time before we
become self sufficent in fuel and energy production.and on our way to
become superpowers. As JATROPHA grows in the wild there is no fear of
it throwing out food crops , and with wind we still have nearly 10,000
MW of potential to be exploited.
Why not have the jatropha fuel producing plants
located in those regions generating employment to
the people around.
The biodiesel produced could be used directly as
fuel
to transport the other seeds to diff locations
This question has bothered me for a
while...Transporting JATROPHA from wild or remote
areas to the processing zone or from processing
zone to end consumption seems to be costly affair.
What are your thoughts on addressing this issue
