jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission released from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically used as property separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes 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) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the very budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas 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 lots of co2 each year. The largest jatropha producing nation 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 thus it creates job for numerous bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
