The pilot project “Jatropha for local development” was conceptualised in 2005 and started to be implemented in Mozambique in 2007. Its goal is to test the feasibility of enhancing local development by using locally produced Jatropha oil to run local diesel engines converted to run on pure Jatropha oil, as well as for the local production of

Several smallholder Jatropha projects were initiated following the presidential campaign of 2004. Projects aimed to generate oil for lighting, for soap production or for application in generators to produce energy. Although some projects had an oil press provided by the government, insufficient oil was produced due to low Jatropha seed production.

In our study, the oil content of Jatropha seeds from 12 different accessions (37–41%) grown in Mozambique, under similar agricultural and edapho-climatic conditions, is in the upper range of oil content reported in the literature for these seeds. Also, FA and sterol fraction compositions are according to the literature.

Hand-pressing Jatropha seeds yields slightly less than 1 l/h and due to the low efficiency of hand-presses, 5.5 kg of seeds are required to extract 1 liter of oil. With harvesting yielding 1-3 kg decorticated seeds per hour and a local diesel price of 22 to 40 MZN/l the value of an 8-hour working day is 19 to 47 MZN, which is comparable to ...
- How do jatropha plants produce oil & biodiesel?
- Because most Jatropha projects in southern Africa collapsed before they reached the stages of oil and biodiesel production, the emphasis of this paper is on the stage of cultivation. To produce oil, the husk of the Jatropha seed, which is estimated to contain 30?35% of oil, is removed, then dehulled to separate the kernel from the shell.
- Can semi-arid conditions maximize jatropha oil production?
- Despite its great potential, however, many projects failed to reach commercially viable seed and oil yields. The aim of the study was to provide globally applicable solutions for maximization of Jatropha oil production under semi-arid conditions.
- Where did Jatropha seed come from?
- The harvested seed was exported to Europe principally to provide oil for soap making. In the 1920s and 30s up to 45,000 tonne of jatropha seed was being annually exported to ports in Europe. Seed shipped from Benin and Madagascar (other major sites of industrial-scale jatropha seed production) contributed to this volume.
- How much oil does Jatropha produce?
- Studies undertaken in Honduras, Mali and Mozambique show that oil yields of Jatropha can vary from as low as 250 L ha ?1 yr ?1 in areas with insufficient rainfall and soil nutrients to as high as 1250 L ha ?1 yr ?1 in areas with sufficient water and soil nutrients ( Romijn, 2011 ).
