Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry region, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed includes 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 tested effectively as a fuel for easy diesel engine. 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 illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically used as residential or commercial property separation. It minimizes the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be totally free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is thought about to be among 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 private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 homes 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power 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 small power system supplies 24-hour power supply at the really cost effective rate 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 advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of carbon dioxide per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it creates job for numerous poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
