Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission discharged 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 arid region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested 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 conventional 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 rarely used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally used as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining with no water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a must 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 world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power 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) objective 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 small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the very economical rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 heaps of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation 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 for this reason it produces task for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
