<br>Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission given off from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.<br>
<br>The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, 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 mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes used as home demarcation. It lowers the soil erosion.<br>
<br>The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be totally free draining without any water logging. But adequate 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 world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.<br>
<br>The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power 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) planning 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely inexpensive 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 advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.<br>
<br>The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of co2 per year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it develops job for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.<br>
