The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimum 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 free draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are connected 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) mission 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 loads of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it produces job for numerous bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
