Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission given off 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 dry area, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It decreases the soil disintegration.

The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha is simple 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 bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is developing 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 main institutions establishing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are linked 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 little scale power generation tasks 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 very budget friendly cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process thus it creates task for numerous bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
