The demand for petroleum has risen rapidly due to increasing
industrialization and modernization of the world. This economic
development has led to a huge demand for energy, where the major
part of that energy is derived from fossil sources such as
petroleum, coal and natural gas. Continued use of petroleum sourced
fuels is now widely recognized as unsustainable because of
depleting supplies.There is a growing interest in using Jatropha
curcas L. oil as the feedstock for bio-diesel production because it
is non-edible and thus does not compromise the edible oils, which
are mainly used for food consumption. Further, J. curcas L. seed
has a high content of free fatty acids that is converted in to
biodiesel by transesterification.The bio-diesel produced has
similar properties to that of petroleum-based diesel. Biodiesel
fuel has better properties than petrodiesel fuel; it is renewable,
biodegradable, non-toxic, and essentially free of sulfur and
aromatics. Biodiesel seems to be a realistic fuel for future.
Biodiesel has the potential to economically, socially, and
environmentally benefit communities as well as countries, and to
contribute toward their sustainable development
