One kilogram of Jatropha curcas L. 500 kg diesel?

The lack of oil allows companies to consult plant refining matters, but experts say that large-scale planting and utilization are still not sufficient conditions.
“In the past few days, I have asked many people who use Jatropha to make diesel.” Yesterday afternoon, Dr. Wu Guojiang, a returnee from Guangzhou South China Botanical Garden, told reporters. A few days ago, a media report on the production of 500 kilograms of diesel fuel per year for an acre of jatropha was reported, bringing him continuous telephone and letter consultations.
It takes time for commercial use of Jatropha
In the Pearl River Delta in August, lack of oil became a key word for the media and the public. The tense use of oil, coupled with the prediction of the exhaustion of oil resources after several decades, has made it impossible for people to ask: Is there any kind of raw material that can replace oil?
Wu Guojiang is a candidate for the “Hundred Talents Program” of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His current major task is to improve the plant works of the Jatropha curcas that hope to extract diesel oil. He told reporters that in recent days, many companies or private owners have called him every day to understand the details of Jatropha oil refining.
Wu Guojiang’s mood is somewhat complicated for such consultations. He said that it is pleasing to note that fuel plants have caused such widespread attention, but there may still be a long way to go between the scale planting of Jatropha and people’s business ideas.
According to reports, China has been trying for many years in bioenergy applications. Last year, the state promoted ethanol gasoline through financial subsidies in Liaoning, Anhui, and other places. The raw materials used to produce ethanol are Chenhualiang, sweet sorghum, and straw.
Jatropha curcas is a fruit that is not easy to grow and widely grows in Jatropha, Yunnan, Sichuan, Hainan and other places. It is considered to be a kind of development potential of refinery diesel. Earlier this month, media reported that an acre of Jatropha could produce 500 kilograms of diesel a year, but Wu Guojiang clarified this claim yesterday. He said that according to the existing research, it should be that an acre of Jatropha curcas produces 500 kilograms of Jatropha, and the extracted diesel is between 150-180 kilograms.
According to Wu Guojiang's introduction, the prospect of Jatropha oil refinery diesel mainly focuses on its mature processing and refining technology. However, Jatropha curcas is not able to grow, flower and produce results in all places. This crop is very sensitive to temperature and the environment. It is said that the Jatropha planted in South China Botanical Garden has not opened flowers for many years, not to mention the results. Because of this, Wu Guojiang believes that as one of the possible alternatives to fuel oil, there are indeed very broad prospects for the development of energy plants such as Jatropha curcas. However, where exactly should we develop and how should we develop is still an issue that has not been completely scientifically validated.
Researching bioenergy is a new direction for Wu Guojiang who has just returned to the country for one year. At the end of May this year and early June, he participated in two national conferences to discuss bioenergy. He believes that this is a signal that China attaches importance to energy security and concerns about bio-energy issues. According to international prevailing standards, if a country’s external dependence on energy exceeds 40%, the country’s economic security will be greatly threatened, and China, with its rapid economic growth, has to rely on large amounts of imports to meet its domestic energy needs.
"Anyway, this issue has received the attention of the government and the public, and the research and utilization of bio-energy should be one direction," and Wu Guojiang, who will go to Shanghai to participate in another related topic meeting several days later, thinks so. However, he also told reporters that although the outlook for bio-refining is bright, it does not necessarily achieve remarkable results within three or five years. For example, Jatropha curcas, which varieties are more suitable for planting in Guangdong, may need to be studied for 10 to 20 years.
At present, diesel oil supply is tight and diesel prices are rising. The good friend of mankind --- plants can give us a helping hand.
In the Jinsha River valley, and in various parts of southern China, there is a renewable “new type of diesel” in the fruit of a shrub called Jatropha. Researchers have successfully extracted and processed fuel that is similar to diesel but is more environmentally friendly.
This "fruit oil" is better than zero diesel fuel, and the cost is low; "biodiesel" is cleaner and more efficient than traditional diesel, and trials of this "biodiesel" agricultural motor, tractor and automobile have not caused the traditional diesel easily lead to The smoky phenomenon.
Jatropha curcas L. is a plant belonging to the genus Jatropha of the Euphorbiaceae family, and is also known as Bronzewood, Lambong, Odorifera, Jatropha and the like. Sex bitter, slightly cold, toxic. Attending to fight tumors, fractures, pruritus, eczema, and acute gastroenteritis.
Many species of genus Jatropha are used for folk medicine in some countries in the third world, and a new jatrophone can be isolated from Jatropha.
According to expert studies, in addition to Jatropha, over 300 species of plants can be used to extract biodiesel from the province, such as the stone chestnut trees, plane trees, tung oil trees, bachelor trees, and dandelions of the Asteraceae family in Euphorbiaceae.
An average of 650 kilograms of leprosy fruit can be produced per acre, and about 180 kilograms of fuel can be extracted and processed. Jatropha curcas can also be used for afforestation in arid regions due to its ability to adapt to the environment.
