In biodiesel production, first-generation fuel faces the problems of using food as a feedstock which has its limitations like the destruction of vital soil resources, deforestation and negative impact on biodiversity, and the use of much of the available arable land. At the same time, the high cost of feedstock also restricts its widespread use. Keeping all those points in mind, researchers are focusing their attention on the production of biodiesel from non-edible vegetable oils such as Jatropha curcas L. The present chapter deals with the harvesting methods of Jatropha curcas L, extractions, and properties of the blends used in detail.
