touring and biodiesel | Restorative EventsSo, you're interested in running transportation logistics for your tour on biodiesel. In US, BioDiesel is produced from Soy Oil. In Europe it is manufactured using Rape Seed Oil. Edible oils like soy, rape seed are crops, that can be grown in American and European countries in summer months. Farming is mechanized which reduces labor costs. These are grown for the meal as cattle feed and oil is not the main reason to grow these. Hence initially plants were based on these oils to dispose off the excess oil, but now most of oil is committed. Waste edible oils, tallow, yellow greases are other raw materials which are available in western world. The current production of Soy and Rape Seed Oil is already committed and there is not much scope to increase its production for new BioDiesel Plants, as scope for farming of these two crops is limited, as it requires fertile soil. Jatropha / Karanj / Neem / Mahua / Simarouba are the trees which can provide oil bearing seeds, but these can not be grown in US or Europe, as it can not tolerate frost and the plantation and harvesting of these is highly labour intensive. plantations are going on in slow but steady pace of 50,000 acres per year, and it is good achievement, considering acute shortage of finance. So far the cumulative plantation is expected to be about 500,000 to 600,000 acres. Foreign direct investment is not allowed in this sector. Land is held by small farmers, and land can not be sold to foreign companies. The contract farming model was adopted by some plantation companies. It has failed as the price offered by them (Rs. 5 to 6 / kg of seeds), is less than half that of reasonable price (Rs. 8 to 10 / kg of seeds). Most of the plantation companies sold their operations to other bigger companies, which are aggressive in contract farming, but they are incurring huge losses. most of the Jatropha oil is used for manufacture of Soap, in Electricity Generating sets (of 1 Mega Watt to 5 mega Watt) and as Lamp Oil (Demand for this is about 25 million tons). Soap manufacturers were using Palm Oil in past, but now the palm oil prices are very volatile, and not viable for soap making. Currently, there are more than 10 BioDiesel Manufacturing units, with a combined capacity of 1,500 tons per day. Most of them are operating at low capacities, (and not likely to opearate at full capacity, for next 2 to 5 years) as they do not get oil at affordable price. |
