Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted from it pollutes 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 area, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as home separation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to 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 planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families are linked 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 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 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 capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 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 largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it produces task for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
