Jatropha is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the carbon dioxide emission emitted from it contaminates 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 development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional 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 utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it periodically used as home demarcation. It lowers 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 complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a must for high yield. The jatropha curcas 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 hold up against frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the . 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 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 extremely affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electricity. 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 reduces 20 lots of co2 each year. The largest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process hence it creates job for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
