Jatropha is the plant with many possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission discharged from it contaminates the environment, 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 growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 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 effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from and it periodically used as home separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining with no water logging. But appropriate 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 offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha growing. The personal 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small 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 extremely economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha 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 largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it produces task for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
