jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission emitted from it contaminates the environment, 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 curcas seed includes 35 percent oil material 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 because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medication and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as home separation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many 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 main organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were developed 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 very cost effective price 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 curcas oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 heaps of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it produces job for many poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
