<br>Constantly the [biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) industry is searching for some alternative to produce renewable resource. [Biodiesel](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) prepared from canola, sunflower and jatropha can change or be integrated with [standard diesel](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US). During very first half of 2000's jatropha [biofuel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) made the headlines as a popular and appealing option. It is prepared from [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html), a plant species belonging to Central America that can be grown on wasteland.<br>
<br>[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) is a non edible plant that grows in the deserts. The plant grows [extremely rapidly](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and it can yield seeds for about 50 years. The oil got from its seeds can be utilized as a [biofuel](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm). This can be blended with petroleum diesel. Previously it has been used twice with algae mix to fuel test flight of industrial airlines.<br>
<br>Another positive approach of jatorpha seeds is that they have 37% oil content and they can be burned as a fuel without refining them. It is also used for medical purpose. Supporters of jatropha biodiesel say that the flames of jatropha oil are smoke free and they are effectively checked for easy diesel motor.<br>
<br>Jatropha [biodiesel](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) as Renewable Energy Investment has brought in the interest of many business, which have tested it for automotive use. has been road tested by Mercedes and 3 of the automobiles have covered 18,600 miles by utilizing the jatropha plant [biodiesel](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/).<br>
<br>Since it is since of some downsides, the jatropha [biodiesel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) have actually not thought about as a wonderful renewable resource. The greatest problem is that nobody understands that just what the performance rate of the plant is. Secondly they don't understand how big scale growing might affect the soil quality and the environment as a whole. The [jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) plant needs 5 times more water per energy than corn and sugarcane. This raises another issue. On the other hand it is to be noted that jatropha can grow on [tropical climates](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) with yearly rains of about 1000 to 1500 mm. A thing to be kept in mind is that [jatropha](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) needs appropriate irrigation in the first year of its plantation which lasts for decades.<br>
<br>Recent study states that it holds true that jatropha can grow on abject land with little water and poor nutrition. But there is no proof for the yield to be high. This might be proportional to the quality of the soil. In such a case it may need high quality of land and might need the same [quagmire](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) that is faced by a lot of [biofuel](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) types.<br>
<br>Jatropha has one primary disadvantage. The seeds and leaves of jatropha are hazardous to human beings and animals. This made the Australian government to ban the plant in 2006. The [federal government](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) declared the plant as intrusive types, and too dangerous for western Australian farming and the [environment](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) here (DAFWQ 2006).<br>
<br>While [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) has stimulating budding, there are number of research study challenges remain. The value of detoxing has to be studied due to the fact that of the toxicity of the plant. Along side a systematic research study of the oil yield need to be undertaken, this is extremely important due to the fact that of high yield of [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) would probably needed before [jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) can be contributed considerably to the world. Lastly it is also really important to study about the jatropha species that can make it through in more temperature level environment, as jatropha is quite restricted in the tropical climates.<br>
