Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission given off 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 desert, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be totally free draining with no 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were developed 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 very cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a process hence it creates job for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
