Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission given off from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.
The is the plant which can grow in semi arid area, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop considering that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to treat illness 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 animals and it sometimes used as home separation. It reduces the soil erosion.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining pipes without any water logging. But sufficient water and nutrition is a needs to for high yield. The jatropha curcas is easy 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 bad soil. It can not hold up against frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power company ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households are connected 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 little scale power generation projects were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very affordable rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing nation 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 procedure thus it produces task for many bad rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be used as a Renewable resource.
