Jatropha is the plant with many possible benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the co2 emission released 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 desert, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 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 successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power 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) objective 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 little power system offers 24 supply at the very economical rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha 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 ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 heaps of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it produces task for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
