The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for easy 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 treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha curcas is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about 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 growing. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes 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 (REST) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects 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 very budget friendly rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electricity. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 heaps of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it creates task for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
