Jatropha is the plant with many potential benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the co2 emission emitted from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it periodically used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining with no 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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) 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 little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural areas with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of co2 each year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The is a labor intensive procedure hence it creates job for many bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
