jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission given off 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 arid area, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively 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 standard medication disinfectant and to treat 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 preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes used as home demarcation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But adequate 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 offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical power 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) 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 little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely economical cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 tons of co2 per year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it produces task for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
