jatropha curcas is the plant with numerous potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources 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.

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 curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas 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 basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medicine 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 seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it sometimes 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 rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be totally free draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple 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 curcas Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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 established 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 extremely budget friendly cost 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 development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up backwoods with electricity. 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 reduces 20 loads of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it produces job for many bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
