Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission produced from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome 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 contains 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 easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medicine 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 seldom utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining pipes 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 planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes 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) planning 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 supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget-friendly rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising 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 heaps of carbon dioxide annually. 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 producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it develops task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
