Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the co2 emission released from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid area, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without . The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as residential or commercial property separation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate 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 supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. 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 projects 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 very inexpensive cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it creates job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
