Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 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 dry area, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally used as home separation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The maximum 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 free draining without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The is simple 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 stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely economical cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The largest jatropha 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 extensive process hence it develops job for many poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
