jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission produced 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 dry region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a 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 seldom utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it periodically used as home demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects were developed 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 price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it produces task for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
