cooking fuel, to light lamps and for small farming
machineries in rural areas (Cerrate et al 2006). It can
also be converted into biodiesel for use in engines. 1000
grams of Jatropha oil can produce 980 grams of pure
biodiesel. However most optimized practical processes
yield around 94% of biodiesel (Alkabbashi et al 2009),
which emits 80% less CO2 and 100% less SO2 than
fossil diesel (Tiwari et al., 2007).
