Jatropha is the plant with many possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission released from it contaminates 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 suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 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 because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a should 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 planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households 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 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 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 rural areas with electricity. 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 minimizes 20 loads of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it creates task for lots of bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
