Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication 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 rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally used as home demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. 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 small scale power generation tasks 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 budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. 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 reduces 20 tons of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha curcas 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 extensive process hence it develops task for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
