Jatropha is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission emitted 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 desert, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as residential or commercial property separation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha curcas growing. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little 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 offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely inexpensive 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 curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural locations 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 minimizes 20 loads of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure thus it develops job for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
