Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the co2 emission emitted from it contaminates 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 area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully 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 conventional medication 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 seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as property separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should 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 stand up to frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy 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) preparation 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 small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability 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 producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it develops job for many poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
