jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate 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 planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes 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) planning 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 small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the very affordable rate 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 an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

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