We are fully aware that we are responsible for such a state of affairs – we relentlessly worked towards modernization and Industrialisation, hybridization of seeds and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and lethal Agro chemicals; thereby polluting the atmosphere and poisoning mother earth as well.

There is serious concern and awareness across the globe to arrest and then to reverse the trend immediately.

Towards this,Kyoto protocol was signed – a pledge towards a greener tomorrow,use of green power,controlling air pollution and arresting global warming.The world is ushering into a new era of biobased natural energy sources.

Mineral fuels such as Diesel,Petrol,Coal are potential source of Carbon Dioxide,Sulphur Dioxide,Nitrous oxide and other particulate matters released into the atmosphere.Therefore, alternate source of clean burning fuel such as Biodiesel,Ethanol,Hydrogen cell,Biogas , hydel and wind energy had been identified by the world Scientific community as the energy bank of the future.

At BIODIESEL TECHNOLOGIES,KOLKATA,INDIA, we are a group of highly skilled technical professionals consisting of widely experienced Chemical Engineers & Agriculturists dedicated to the cause of Jatropha and other oil seeds production and biodiesel processing technologies.We are one of the premier manufacturers of Biodiesel processing plants on our own technology.

Biodiesel can be made from any vegitable oil or Animal fat by a chemical conversion process called Transesterification whereby the long chain fatty acids present in the oil or fat is converted to ethyl or methyl esters and the triglyceride present is separated as glycerine.The end product of the chemical process is Biodiesel ( FAME- Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) and Glycerine.

The base oil used in the biodiesel production varies from region to region over the world.USA makes it from Soyabin oil, France uses Sunflower oil,Germany Canola or Rapeseed,Malayasia Palm.But one of the best and most economically viable source is a oil seed bearing tree called JATROPHA CURCUS, locally known as RATANJYOT – the plant grows quite well in the Indian Subcontinent.Other non-edible oils available in India for biodiesel production are Pongamia (Karanj),Neem, Castor,Ricebran, Animal fats and others.

Plantation of Jatropha Curcus is going on in a large scale in our country.

In India, the Industry is in it’s nescent stage but there is euphoria amongst the people across the country to make India self reliant in this front.Since Jatropha is a plant of Tropics, India has very large potential and the west is looking at us.We are very positive that the initiative taken by GOI and others will go a long way in mitigating the miseries of our farmers and we emerge stronger in our economy in the coming years.

Indian Railways , Tata Motors, Daimler Chrysler,IOC and others have already conducted trial runs successfully with Biodiesel.
The initiative taken by The Government of India is praise worthy. Our Learned President is the driving force behind the national initiative .A national biodiesel policy has been worked out awaiting announcement. Small production facilities ( 3000 – 30,000 lts per day) are being set up by us for different Indian companies at Hyderabad (Already in Production) Kolkata,Mumbai and neighbouring countries.
