Jatropha is the plant with numerous potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly 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 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 curcas 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 simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But adequate 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 offers 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 numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes 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 small scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the very inexpensive cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods 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 loads of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process for this reason it creates task for many poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
