Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission given off from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimal 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 with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing 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 business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small 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 supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely affordable cost of 50 cents per to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. 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 reduces 20 lots of co2 each year. The biggest jatropha 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 process hence it develops job for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
