Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the fossil fuels 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 region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend 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 given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it periodically utilized as home . It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many 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 main institutions developing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes 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) 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 supplies 24-hour power supply at the really budget friendly 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 an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 heaps of carbon dioxide annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process hence it produces job for many bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
