jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted 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 is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 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 tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it sometimes utilized as home separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about 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 organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electricity. 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 minimizes 20 loads of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing nation 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 thus it develops task for many bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
