Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission released 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 arid area, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, 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 preventing crops from animals and it sometimes used as property separation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha 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 stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is generates 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 small scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the very inexpensive rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical energy. 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 reduces 20 lots of co2 per year. The biggest 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 producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it develops job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
