jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous possible advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the co2 emission released 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 desert, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases 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 preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as property separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha 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 bad soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing 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 primary institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families 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) 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 extremely economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

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