jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the co2 emission emitted from it contaminates the atmosphere, 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 suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix up to 20% without . The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, 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 sometimes utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. 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 small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget-friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 loads of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it develops task for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
