jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission released 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 region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

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 should be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a 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 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 supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget-friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 tons of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it develops job for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
