Jatropha is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission given off 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 is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as residential or commercial property separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha curcas growing. The private power company ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are connected 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 little 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the very affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process for this reason it develops job for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
