Fig. 2 shows the energy output for different biodiesel plants for 20 years. It is clear from the figure that the initially (from seedling to gestation period of plants) there is no output because of only cultivation of crops. After completion of the gestation period, plants start yielding, and its value increases up to its maturity. Therefore, maximum output achieved at maturity of plants. Figure 3 shows the energy input and output after maturity of plants. Energy inputs for jatropha, mahua, neem, palm, coconut, karanja, jojoba, and tung are 23,373.75, 33,271.93, 27,623.93, 81,517.26, 44,502.43, 68,597.72, 13,254.78, 27,485.55 MJ/ha, and energy outputs are 32,970.53, 57,109.5, 39,690.64, 123,206.4, 59,309.81, 91,180.485, 21,749.70, and 37,696.2 MJ/ha, respectively. Increasing order of energy inputs and outputs is jojoba, jatropha, neem, tung, coconut, karanja, and palm. Maximum input and output are obtained for palm biodiesel and minimum for jojoba oil plants.
