Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission produced 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 is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 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 utilized as a standard 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 used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as home separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimum for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary 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 supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is generates 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 jobs were developed 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 inexpensive price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. 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 reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it develops task for many poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
