Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the co2 emission produced from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid area, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining pipes 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 bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes 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 small scale power generation tasks 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 cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 tons of co2 per year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it creates task for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
