Jatropha is the plant with lots of prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission discharged from it pollutes 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 growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as home separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining 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 provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households 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) objective 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the very budget friendly cost 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 an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electricity. The on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 heaps of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it develops task for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
