Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission released from it contaminates 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 is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as property demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining without any water logging. But and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas is easy 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 hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical power 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 little scale power generation projects were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really budget-friendly rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it produces task for lots of poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
