Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the co2 emission given off 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 arid region, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally used as home separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to 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 planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha curcas growing. The private power business ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are connected 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very budget friendly price of 50 cents per to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 tons of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it develops job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
