Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission discharged 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 desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized 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 given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally utilized as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be totally free draining pipes with no 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 planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries in the world. 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 generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects 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 really budget-friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest jatropha producing country 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 process thus it develops job for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
