Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible benefits. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission emitted 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 semi desert, little care is enough for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed includes 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel mix up to 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 since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as property demarcation. It decreases the soil erosion.
The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures 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 is easy 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 poor soil. It can not endure frost.
The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes 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 little scale power generation tasks 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 economical rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of co2 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 producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it produces task for numerous bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
