The book is based on the work that TERI has been doing in the field of bio-diesel production from jatropha. This unique publication covers the entire value chain involved in the production of bio-diesel, right from the nursery stage for the saplings to the production of transesterified oil (bio-diesel) for use in diesel-powered engines. The user will get in one volume valuable information pertaining to the production of bio-diesel, a process that requires inputs from various disciplines, like environment, biotechnology, chemical engineering, finance, economics, and automotive engineering.
