The 4th Global Jatropha Hi-tech Integrated Nonfood Biodiesel Farming & Technology Training Programme which is being held September 14-18, 2011 at Jaipur, India, is mostly dedicated to multifeedstocks for building a sustainable biodiesel industry. The JatrophaWorld India 2011 is designed to educate all stakeholders about critical issue of availability of right feedstock at right cost to make biodiesel a long-term business opportunity. Global JatrophaWorld India 2011 marks the 4th edition with resounding success.

There is a significant potential for sustainable aviation fuel based on jatropha-curcas. , if cultivated properly, jatropha can deliver strong environmental and socio-economic benefits across the globe and greenhouse gas reductions of up to 60 percent when compared to petroleum-based jet fuel. But  a lack of understanding of the Jatropha Curcas Plant and reliable information; lack of QPM inputs; lack of Best Agricultural Practices and expertise & poor management techniques ; many projects are only achieving mediocre results. This is vital to helping developers to deliver better social, environmental, and economic sustainability outcomes from jatropha cultivation.

The CJP is working towards scientific commercialization of nonfood biodiesel trees/crops that will lend credibility; reliability and scalability with regards to food security, energy security and sustainable development and carbon savings. The CJP for Failsafe Energy Farming (www.jatrophabiodiesel (dot) org ) was created in 2003 , the first entity to introduce commercial farming of Jatropha and since then working as a platform for multidisciplinary multifeedstocks research into all aspects of nonfood energy farming. The CJP intensified its collaborative research approach with regards to perennial oil seeds bearing tree like Pongamia Pinnata, Moringa oliferia, Jojoba, simarouba, etc. in combination with annual nonfood oil crops like castor, flax, safflower, camelina, etc to have more oil yield per ha and to improve their product. The CJP’s mission is to perform cutting-edge plant science research in genetics, breeding and horticulture, and further develop technologies to allow for the economic commercialization and sustainability of energy farms globally. In essence, CJP scientists are continuously working on enhanced genetics, agronomics and horticulture sciences to drive new varieties, more knowledge around the plant’s nutritional requirements and more science-based processes for the care and custody of the plant and have achieved reliable and scalable results in jatropha energy farming.

Even a superior genotype variety planted in inadequate soil and improperly cared for, will be unable to reach its potential and will create dissatisfied stakeholders. If the development focus is properly balanced, the species will go through a series of improvements to continually enhance the characteristics. Improvement in yield, reduction in inputs or resistance to pests and diseases is an ongoing process which needs time. Jatropha is expected to be the first plant commercialized utilizing modern science. The improvements with applied science will accelerate its rapid improvement. The CJP’s goal is to triple jatropha yields within 10 years, increase the oil content to 48 percent and in combination of other crops the target oil yield is 1500 gallon per ha. Further, to increase the quality of the oils and other products produced—while minimizing inputs including pesticides and fertilizers.

So while Jatropha agriculture continues to be a new and exciting alternative energy source, and the world continues to watch its development closely, there are still many misnomers about where it should be grown, how to grow it and what resources the plant needs to achieve commercially productive yields. CJP to provide the right steps to start the successful business ensuring that this crop is planted in the right way and with due cares to what’s possible in terms of sustainable farming techniques. Based on its  proprietary knowledge plant    science expertise enhanced technology  and extensive experience and by integrating technical and managerial issues CJP has developed  Jatropha Agricultural Training package to deliver Competencies  through Qualified trainers  with a practical 'hands on' approach.

CJP’s new Biodiesel crops like castor, flax, moringa, pongamia, jojoba, simarouba are poised for commercialization as the newest, greatest biodiesel feedstock as these crops can produce the greatest amount of feedstock for the lowest input and cost. There are many promising crops on the horizon, but they need to be properly vetted scientifically. Good scientific research done by CJP’s scientists has shown that how oilseed crops grow best across different soil conditions and climates, and how they fit into existing production systems determining what consequences might result from growing these crops in terms of sustainability  

Emergence of the new crops system may change the entire scenario of the biodiesel industry and shall provide much relief to the industry which desperately in a need of a viable sustainable non-food feed stocks. CJP’S Next JATROPHAWORLD INDIA 2011, the 4th Global Jatropha Hi-tech Integrated Nonfood Biodiesel Farming & Technology Training Programme is all set to introduce you the real world of JATROPHA CURCAS” where the attendees shall also have the opportunity to interact with these new crops science, agronomy and horticulture technology etc. as have also been included in the course. JATROPHAWORLD INDIA 2011 is to be held at Jaipur, Rajasthan from September 14-18, 2011. CJP has brought together the best expertise and brightest brains to discuss and analyze the present and future dynamics of Jatropha.

JatrophaWorld India 2011 will showcase agricultural advancement to grow the jatropha and other nonfood oil crops effectively with proper resources i.e. balancing resources to end up with a sustainable long-term solution without harming the environment. The focus of the programme shall remain on three major thrust areas—genetics, agronomics and horticulture practices—so the plant will grow with optimal productivity. While agronomic work is an important first step in the development of any new crop, for new oilseeds to reach commercialization, several other factors need to be addressed. With any of these crops, there is definitely an education curve for producers to be able to understand how it fits into their rotation

While talking on JATROPHAWORLD 2011, Mr. S.S.Mishra Director (Training) said, “The programe shall highlight that how scientific selection of site and superior seed strain can ensure a successful Fuel Farms and can meet all the three criteria any environmentally sustainable fuel must meet. These are social, technical and commercial. The invaluable insights provided by experts/scientists will help our trainees to better understand the sustainability of this potential jet fuel source”.

“The Global JatrophaWorld 2011 is a must attend Programme as it is a programme where you shall study & learn promising biodiesel crops  apart from jatropha oil crops in totality from the top scientists, experts and technologists; where you shall understand the nonfood oil crop Science and Obtain accurate and authentic information; where you shall updates on latest technological developments and evaluate the biodiesel investment profitability as this is the only platform to understand & learn, to plan and execute, the best expertise to discuss and analyze the present and future dynamics of Jatropha, other nonfood oil crops” he further added.

World biodiesel industry experts anticipate that there is going to be more demand for oilseeds, not only going to biodiesel but also into the technology that can covert those agricultural oils into products such as jet fuel. One of the really good things is biojet fuels and non-ester renewable diesels are all new market opportunities being created, which helps to send market signals all the way up the supply chain to the growers and producers 

With Jatropha cultivation becoming an intensifying worldwide trend, how to ‘Do It IN Right Way’ dominated the entire training, with discussions centering on the best practices in Jatropha for maximum returns. All the trainees who attended were glad to have had the opportunity to take their learning beyond the air-conditioned comfort of the conference room, and out into the actual field where they were able to see, touch, feel and do Jatropha planting first-hand

JatrophaWorld India 2011 promises to have something for everyone interested in developing, growing and utilizing nonfood feedstock for the production of biodiesel.

SCHOOL BIODIESELCOLLEGE BIODIESEL

CAMPUS BIODIESELKnowledge for a Sustainable FutureCollege students are very keen to learn how to make biodiesel because they want to do something to reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil and to make the planet a better place to live. While some colleges/ schools only teach about biodiesel during one lecture, one lab experiment or one course, in others biodiesel is central to chemistry or engineering department curriculum and research. While the biodiesel educational component might be small in some schools/college, the process for making biodiesel in others is seen as a valuable teaching tool. Most of Colleges don’t have a lot of flexibility for customizing their curriculum. In fact, developing a curriculum around renewable fuels is becoming a priority at some colleges with a multidisciplinary approach. But they don’t have their own small-scale biodiesel plants and tools. The plant can provide students from multiple disciplines the opportunity to learn about and complete projects related to making biodiesel

Biodiesel Excites Students

The biodiesel education component at BBA is helping to fuel students’ passion for renewable energy. Having grown up in an era of uncertainty about climate change and energy supplies, the students who are involved in biodiesel education feel empowered. Having a local opportunity to make fuel, for most of them, is an opportunity to do something they want to feel like they are involved in being part of the solution. For some students, working with biodiesel is seen as a patriotic duty. Some students are interested in biodiesel because they want to be involved in energy policy while others, want to work in an applied science where they can see the results of their work during their lifetimes.Worldwide Universities have the highest priorty to contribute to the transition to a sustainable society through social, economic and environmental development. Sustaiable development is a fundamental aspect in all research- intensive universities with focus on the sustainable use of biological natural  resourses.
Therefore in order to provide appropriate level of exposure the students we have designed biodiesel courses with a multidisciplinary approach to introduce biodiesel production and consumption on campuses and in college communities as a whole. We have developed a curriculum to train students to run biodiesel plants.From the school students to higher school, from undergraduate courses to graduate programs and from research projects to extension services we have drawn different customized curriculum on
Elementary biodiesel scienceSecondary biodiesel scienceBiodiesel biologyBiodiesel AgricultureBiodiesel physicsBiodiesel chemistryBiodiesel mathematicsBiodiesel economicsBiodiesel managementBiodiesel ecologyBiodiesel Classroom on WheelsWe have designed a flatbed mobile biodiesel van that includes all of the components required for making biodiesel. We have lots of requests for the van to be brought to school/college to provide a hands-on demonstration.Creating Biodiesel laboratory in your campusTeaching biodiesel especially in a laboratory setting makes perfect sense. It provides great hands-on experience, students get immediate feedback and it provides a great avenue for teaching concepts such as pollution prevention and resource conservation. We have the expertise to create and install biodiesel lab as per your requirementThe primary components of the program include participation by the schools/colleges, we know that there are schools just interested in teaching concepts, while others are ready to implement laboratory exercises and actually start producing biodiesel in small quantities who can make a real difference in the health of our environment and the quality of our future. Biodiesel education teaches students a different way of looking at the world around them.How your college/school/university become involvedFor those interested in becoming involved in the program there are 4 main ways:Sponsor & send students to attend BBA programmes,Purchase of small biodiesel reactor/equipment and create a biodiesel lab at college,Become a BBA partner to promote and support the program, orCall BBA’s Biodiesel Classroom on Wheels.The interested school/college/students may contact us for further detailsMail to admin@biodieselacademy.com 0r Call +91 9829423333website: http://biodieselacademy (dot) comhttp://www.jatrophabiodiesel (dot) org/
