jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released 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 desert, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise 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 decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be draining without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must 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 hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes are linked 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 tons of co2 per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it creates task for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
