Jatropha is the plant with lots of prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission given off from it contaminates 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 growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing 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 business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households are linked 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) mission 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 little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the very cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of co2 per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it creates job for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
