Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources 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 region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it periodically used as property demarcation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy 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 little scale power generation projects 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 bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 20 lots of co2 per year. The largest jatropha curcas 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 for this reason it creates job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
