Jatropha is the plant with many possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission emitted 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 arid region, 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 utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional 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 hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households 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 small scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget-friendly price 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 development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it develops job for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
