Jatropha is the plant with numerous possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the co2 emission emitted from it contaminates 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 area, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha curcas seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel blend up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked successfully as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medicine disinfectant and to cure illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally utilized as home demarcation. It reduces the soil disintegration.
The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining with no water logging. But sufficient 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 provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.
The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power company ACCESS is generates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families are connected 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation jobs 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 extremely cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil illuminate backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of carbon dioxide annually. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it produces task for many bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
