Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide 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 is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively 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 standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally used as property separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 curcas Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces 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 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 small scale power generation jobs were 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 extremely budget-friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 heaps of co2 per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it produces job for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
