jatropha curcas is the plant with many possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission produced 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 arid 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 content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, 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 avoiding crops from animals and it periodically utilized as residential or commercial property separation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households 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 tasks 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 really inexpensive price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural areas 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 carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
