fuel as it can be used in any existing diesel engine with negligible or
no modifications. But the problem is that biodiesel is not widely
available in India. In this project biodiesel has been produced through

unsettled by its need to import about 70% of its petroleum demand
from the highly unstable and volatile world oil market. India is
projected to become the third largest consumer of transportation
fuel in 2020, after the USA and China, with consumption growing
at an annual rate of 6.8% . In India 90% of imported oil is
consumed for the transportation and energy generation and its
economy are highly depending on the import of crude oil.
The main problem in getting the biodiesel programme rolling has been

because farmers do not consider Jatropha cultivation rewarding enough.
Therefore government needs to sponsor confidence -building measures
such as establishing a minimum support price for Jatropha oilseeds and
