jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of potential benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission discharged from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it sometimes used as home . It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate 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 offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha curcas cultivation. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families are connected 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects were established 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 extremely economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural areas with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 loads of carbon dioxide 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 biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it develops task for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
