Jatropha is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the co2 emission emitted from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid area, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas 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 simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as home separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families 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) 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 extremely affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha curcas 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 largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it develops task for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
