Jatropha is the plant with many potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are decreasing rapidly and the co2 emission discharged from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.

The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as property demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal 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 costs. Likewise in India, the Rural Electricity Supply Technology (REST) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The little 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 provides 24-hour power supply at the very affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha curcas 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 tons of co2 per year. The biggest jatropha producing country 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 procedure hence it produces job for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
