Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the carbon dioxide emission produced from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

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 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 tested effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it periodically utilized as property separation. It reduces the soil erosion.

The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate 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 stand up to frost.

The is developing in numerous countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power 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 projects were developed 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 cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural areas with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of co2 each year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it develops job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
