Jatropha is the plant with lots of possible advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining rapidly and the carbon dioxide emission released 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 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 evaluated successfully as a fuel for easy diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is hardly ever utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it sometimes used as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil erosion.
The optimal 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 free draining pipes without any water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not endure frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 families 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) mission 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 in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the extremely affordable price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural areas with electrical energy. 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 co2 per year. The largest jatropha 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 extensive procedure thus it produces task for numerous bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
