Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission discharged from it contaminates the atmosphere, 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 seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a conventional medication 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 preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property separation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining pipes without any 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 provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electricity 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system supplies 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 seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas 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 reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it develops task for many bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
