Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry area, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes used as home separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But adequate 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 provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces 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 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 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 offers 24 supply at the extremely budget friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods 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 decreases 20 lots 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 manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it produces task for many poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
