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 region. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as property demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.

The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The private power business ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are connected 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little 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 offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely budget-friendly cost 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 an crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. 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 minimizes 20 lots of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing country 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 procedure hence it develops task for many poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
