Jatropha is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the co2 emission produced from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer 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 area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as property separation. It reduces 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 should be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a should 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 poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power 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 small 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 cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for . The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it creates job for many bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
