jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are and the carbon dioxide emission emitted 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 desert, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 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 evaluated effectively as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible.

It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property separation. It lowers the soil disintegration.


The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining 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 bad soil. It can not endure frost.


The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses. 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 jobs 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 extremely economical cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electrical power. 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 decreases 20 lots of co2 per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it produces task for numerous poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
