<br>Jatropha is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission given off from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.<br>
<br>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 consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. 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 utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically used as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.<br>
<br>The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.<br>
<br>The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous 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 main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes 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) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation jobs 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 very inexpensive cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.<br>
<br>The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The largest jatropha 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 intensive for this reason it creates task for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.<br>
