Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry area, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as property separation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes with no 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 withstand frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a 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 small scale power generation jobs were established 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 cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 tons of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it produces job for many poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
