Jatropha is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission emitted from it pollutes the environment, 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 is enough 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 can be used as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering 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 used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it occasionally used as property separation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must 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 planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not withstand frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households 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 small scale power generation tasks were developed 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 very cost effective rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing country 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 extensive process thus it produces task for many poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
