jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission produced 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 area, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as property demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 curcas Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation 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 small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely affordable cost 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 advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. 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 minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process hence it develops task for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all can be used as a Renewable resource.
