Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission produced 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 growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, 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 animals and it periodically used as home separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be totally free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are linked 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 small scale power generation projects were established 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 very affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electricity. 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 reduces 20 loads of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a process for this reason it creates job for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
