This book addresses the opportunity to cultivate a non food
bioenergy crop, Jatropha Curcas L. in Bangladesh. As a renewable
resource and a sustainable substitute for fossil fuel, Jatropha
curcas produces seeds containing inedible oil, which can supply
fuel and meet the national energy demands of Bangladesh. The plant
does not need arable lands and does not compete with food. This
book also highlights the land use patterns and possible cultivation
areas of Bangladesh. It is based on research of the cultivation
technology, ecological and agronomical aspects, crop yield and
harvesting. It also highlights the uses and socioeconomic benefits
of the plant, production costs and briefly describes the procedure
for the production of biodiesel and other useful byproducts. The
comparison of biodiesel from Jatropha curcas with conventional
fossil fuel is also discussed as well as its ability to sequester
carbon from the environment.
