jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission produced 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 desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, 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 livestock and it occasionally utilized as property demarcation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families are linked 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little 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 very economical cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha curcas 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 offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it develops job for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
