The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible.

It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes utilized as property demarcation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate 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 stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure thus it produces task for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
