Jatropha is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally used as home demarcation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple 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 curcas Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas 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 households are connected 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) 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the very cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 loads of co2 per year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it produces task for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
