Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the are decreasing quickly 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 development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized 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 basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes used as property demarcation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy 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 poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very budget-friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods 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 lowers 20 lots of co2 per year. The biggest 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 manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it creates task for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
