Jatropha is the plant with many potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission given off 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 suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally used as property demarcation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha growing. The private power business 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 expenses. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply (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 very cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

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