Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the co2 emission emitted from it pollutes the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.

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 curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be free draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy 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) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation jobs were established 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 extremely cost effective price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural 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 lowers 20 lots of co2 per year. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process for this reason it creates task for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
