Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission given off 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 area. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for basic diesel engine. 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 also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally used as property separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households 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) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely affordable rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 20 lots of co2 per year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process hence it produces task for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
