Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission released from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. 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 evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It lowers the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining without any 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 world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families 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 little scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget-friendly rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it produces task for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
