jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission given off 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 dry region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as residential or commercial property separation. It lowers the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very economical rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 loads of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it creates job for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
