<br>Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.<br>
<br>The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi desert, little care suffices for its development. 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 utilized as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically used as home separation. It minimizes the soil erosion.<br>
<br>The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The is simple 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 bad soil. It can not withstand frost.<br>
<br>The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families 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 Technology (REST) objective 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 provides 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 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 ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.<br>
<br>The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest 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 producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it creates job for many poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.<br>
