jatropha and windpower fuelling Indias growth to a Super power
Tuesday 08th, April 2008
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

Alan,

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

Cheers
