jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission produced from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, 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 animals and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining with no water logging. But appropriate 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget friendly 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 curcas is a promising 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 lowers 20 tons of co2 per year. The largest jatropha producing country 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 extensive process hence it produces job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
