few species of energy plants in the world. Up to now, there are 151 families and 1553
species of oily plants, of which there are 154 species of plants with oil content of more
than 40%. There are nearly 30 kinds of shrubs which can be used to establish largescale biomass fuel oil raw material base. There are 10 species of biomass fuel oil
woody plants which can be used as raw material base and can be used for afforestation
in barren mountains, sandy land and other suitable forests to establish a large-scale
supply base of biomass fuel oil. From this, Among the energy plants, some species
have been screened out, such as Pinus tabulaeformis, Sapium sebiferum, Camellia
oleifera Abel, Cinnamomum cassia and so on.
The development and utilization of energy plants in foreign countries began as
early as 1986. In order to solve the problem of oil shortage faced by the United States
at that time, Dr. Calvin selected and cultivated oil plants, and planted a large area of
oil plants in California. His success in harvesting 120 barrels of oil per 1 hm
2 has
set off a wave of development and research on oil plants around the world. Since
then, scientists have discovered some “diesel trees”, “alcohol trees” and “wax trees”
around the world. So far, more than 40 species of “petroleum” plants have been
found in the world, mainly in the family Euphorbia and Euphorbia pulcherriaceae,
in Lamiaceae, Compositae, Peach and Leguminosae.
India is rich in biomass resources that can be converted into renewable energy.
The Indian government planning commission has launched an ambitious national
biodiesel program. It is composed of a number of government agencies and coordinated by the Ministry of Rural Development. The focus of the visit was on planting
Jatropha, a shrubby plant of the genus Castor: Ameli. The seed contains 30% less
than 40% oil and can be mixed with diesel oil after transesterification.
Because of the large number of energy plants, it can make great contributions
to the development of the economy, the solution of energy shortage, the protection
of the environment and so on. Therefore, many countries in the world have carried
out the selection of energy plant species, the introduction and cultivation of oil-rich
species, genetic improvement and the establishment of “energy farm” and so on.
Tens of thousands of hm
2 of fast-growing oil forests are planted in the United States;
the Philippines has 12,000 hm
2 of acacia trees and can collect 10 million barrels of
oil in 6 years. Scientists have also found two perennial weeds, eucalyptus vines and
horned melons, that can extract oil in northern Australia. These weeds grow very fast,
30 per week cm, can be harvested several times a year if it is cultivated artificially.
In recent years, a number of initiatives have been taken to link poor and marginal
farmers in different parts of the world, especially in developing countries, to global
biofuels. Without prejudice to food security. The main motivation is to benefit these
farmers. The rise in fuel prices may provide an opportunity to achieve this goal.
Innovative research on bioethanol from sweet sorghum and biodiesel extracted from
Jatropha curcas and Pongamia ensure energy, livelihood and food security for dryland
farmers and reduce the use of fossil fuels, which helps reduce food supplies. climate
change. These crops It doesn’t need too much water, can withstand pressure, and is
not expensive to cultivate, so it is a suitable crop for dryland farmers to cultivate.
There is a need to develop partnerships between the public and private sectors in
such initiatives to make them economically beneficial to poor farmers.
