jatropha curcas is the plant with many potential benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted from it contaminates 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 is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically used as property separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining with no 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 endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the . 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 offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it develops job for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
