Jatropha is the plant with many potential benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission discharged 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 and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must 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 hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates 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 tasks 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 capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. 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 reduces 20 lots of co2 per year. 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 hence it produces task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
