Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome 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 region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as residential or commercial property separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to 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 poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) objective 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 little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the extremely economical rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 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 biggest producers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure for this reason it produces task for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
