Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission given off from it pollutes the environment, 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 seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally utilized as property demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and 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 planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The private power company 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) preparation 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 little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the really cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of co2 annually. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it creates task for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
