The jatropha seed consists of 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 checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible.

It is seldom used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes used as home separation. It minimizes the soil erosion.

The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is easy 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 poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects 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 really economical rate 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 advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The largest 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 manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it produces task for many poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable Energy.
