jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission released from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry area, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible.

It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes used as home demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining pipes without any 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 provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers’ Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main jatropha growing. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electricity 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation tasks were developed 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 really cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 loads 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 largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure thus it develops job for many bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
