Energy Utilization Actuality And Potential Evaluation Of Jatropha Curcas L. In China

Under the dual pressure of energy crisis and environmental protection,biodiesel has developed as an emerging industry.Jatropha curcas L.is considered as the raw material of biodiesel production with the maximum development potential.To develop the biodiesel industry ofJatropha curcas L.energetically in suitable areas of our country,can not only improve the entironment but also supply lots of job opportunities.It promotes the poverty elimination of local farmers and the rapid development of local economy to a certain extent.However,influenced by multi-aspect factors,the potential of energy development in these areas is not equal.At present,the study related to the potential evaluation is still a blank place.This thesis firstly makes full use of existing data to define the area distribution and the gross estimation of Jatropha curcas L.in our country,and analyzes the status quo of energy utilization in detail from three aspects of scientific research institutions,all levels governments and energy companies. Then taken 6 impact factors into consideration,including resource quantity,technology study,fund support,labor supply,economic development and social infrastructure,it tries to establish a set of index system to evaluate the potential of energy development for Jatropha curcas L.in different suitable areas. On the base of the established index system,it chooses some suitable areas to carry through the positive research by using the method of cluster-factor analysis.The analytic results,for the first time,provide theoretical reference for different areas in China to develop the biodiesel industry of Jatropha curcas L. scientifically and reasonably.
