The most common greenhouse gases are:

Water (in its gaseous state, H20)

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Methane (CH4)

Nitrous oxide (N2O)

Ozone (O3)

Sulphur hexafluoride((SF6)

Hydro fluorocarbons (HFC)

Perflurocarbons (PFC)

Jatropha impact on greenhouse gases

A jatropha tree has the capacity to observe 8 kg of carbon dioxide every year. The biodiesel produced from the jatropha oil helps in 3.2 kg reduction of CO2 reduction per liter. The biomass produced after the remains of the oil extraction also helps in the reduction of CO2 based on the amount of electricity generated.

The biofuel produced from jatropha results in 1.2% savings in the fuel. The scientist also reveals that decrease in the use of fuel will decrease the amount of CO2 emission. The biofuel from jatropha can be used with 50/50 blend with jet fuel.

Jatropha biodiesel have a significant negative effect on the greenhouse gases. They tend to balance the eco system. The destruction of forest has also led to the increase in the emission of CO2. Jatropha plant has the ability to grow on waste lands with little irrigation and the plant absorbs more CO2 gases so planting jatropha will itself will decrease the emission of greenhouse gases.
