The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as home demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to 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 bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families are 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 small scale power generation tasks were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the really budget-friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical power. 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 decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it creates job for lots of poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
