Jatropha curcas: A sustainable feedstock for biodiesel synthesis

The development of biodiesel as a renewable fuel is primarily dependent on two major implements encountered in the fossil fuel consumption. These constraints include dwindling oil reserves leading to probable dry-out of the resource in time and pollution related impact due to release of obnoxious ga...
