Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide 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 semi dry region, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it sometimes utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate 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 stand up to frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in many nations. 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 organizations establishing jatropha curcas growing. The private power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes 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 projects were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely inexpensive price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electricity. The jatropha 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 per year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it develops job for many poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
