Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission released from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as home separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be totally free draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must 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 stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 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 projects were established 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 bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. 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 reduces 20 lots of co2 annually. 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 largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it produces task for numerous poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
