Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the co2 emission discharged from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome 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 contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as home separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

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 totally free draining without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does sales. Currently 247 households are connected 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little 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 supplies 24-hour power supply at the really budget friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electricity. 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 decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure thus it produces task for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
