Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission produced from it pollutes 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 area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively 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 conventional medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, 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 home demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very budget-friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure thus it produces job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
