Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission discharged from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry area, little care suffices for its development. 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 utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally utilized as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining with no 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are linked 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 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 extremely 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 illuminate rural areas with electrical power. 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 tons of co2 each year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it creates task for many poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
