Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the really economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural locations with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 heaps of co2 each year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it produces job for many poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
