jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it pollutes the atmosphere, 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 curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as property demarcation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must 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 stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is creates 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation tasks were established 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 cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 loads of co2 annually. 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 biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it develops job for lots of poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
