jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission produced from it 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 suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally utilized as property demarcation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha curcas is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families are connected 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 little scale power generation tasks were developed 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 extremely budget-friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability 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 curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure thus it develops job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
