The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for easy diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medication disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be totally free draining without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is easy to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power are the primary institutions developing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy 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 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 economical rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it creates job for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
