4. Biodiesel - Jatropha www.presidentofindia.nic.in
Multipurpose trees such as Jatropha can grow well on wastelands with little inputs, and reclaim it.
Yields of up to 5 t/ha oilseeds possible under optimum conditions
Produces 2 tonnes of biodiesel that could be used in automobiles, other agro-industrialy useful by-products.
33 million hectares of wasteland have been allotted to tree plantation in India.
States: Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Orissa, North Bengal
* million hectare will generate minimum 11 million jobs Equivalent or cheaper than diesel
* Research can lead to 30 to 40% reduction in price
* Up to 20% addition to diesel no engine modification is needed
2 – 5 year plant
About 5 tonnes per hectare can be expected under optimum conditions
55-60% oil that can be converted into biodiesel by transesterification
0.75 to 2 tonnes of biodiesel could be expected per hectare per year from the fifth year onwards
Use of biodiesel is completely CO2 emmision free; the CO2 fixed by the plantation could be used in emmisions trading.
If the potential is fully realised India's current annual diesel requirement (40 million tonnes this year) could be fully met!

1.10 Vision, Mission & Goals
We have so far considered the profile of knowledge society, multiple components and system integration. It emerged from the deliberations of the task force that the core strengths of the nation have to be coupled to the desired goals. The nation’s strengths predominantly reside in its natural and human resources. In natural resources, India is endowed with a vast coast-line with marine resources and also oil wealth. In minerals, apart from conventional material resources, it is well-known that India has the largest deposits of titanium, beryllium and tungsten. India ranks among the top few nations having a rich bio-diversity. Particularly, in the herbal area there are potential applications for developing multiple products for nutrition, prevention and cure of diseases. Of the global herbal product market of US$ 61 billion, China has a share of around US $ 3 billion, whereas India’s share is not even US $ 100 million. Hence, there is tremendous opportunity for growth in this area. India has similar potential for promoting floriculture and aquaculture in a big way. Knowledge-based value addition for these natural resources would mean exporting value-added products rather than merely the raw materials. Use of IT for commercialisation and marketing can increase our outreach and speed enormously. Ancient knowledge is a unique resource of India for it has the treasure of a minimum of 5000 years of civilisation. It is essential to leverage this wealth for national well being as well as to seek global presence for the nation.
Human resources, particularly with large young population, are unique core strength of the nation. This resource can be transformed through various educational and training programmes. Skilled, unskilled and creative manpower can be transformed into wealth generators particularly in the service sectors, agro industries etc. Knowledge-intensive industries can be generated out of our existing industries by injecting demand for high-level software/hardware, which would bring tremendous value addition. It is said, “the precious asset for a company or a country is the skill, ingenuity and imagination of its people. With globalisation, this will become more important because everybody will have access to world class technology and the key distinguishing feature will be the ability of people in different countries to use their imagination to make the best use of the technology”. Indeed development and innovative use of multiple technologies with transparent management structure and coupled with IT, will catapult India into a knowledge super power
