Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 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 dry area, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum 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 totally free draining without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha 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 withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes 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 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 very budget friendly cost 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 lights up backwoods with electricity. The jatropha 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 co2 each year. The biggest 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 producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process for this reason it for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
