Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission discharged from it contaminates the atmosphere, 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 growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard 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 seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it sometimes used as property demarcation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining without any water logging. But sufficient 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 provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established 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 really affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it produces task for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
