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 withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households 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 small scale power generation jobs were established 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 really affordable rate of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. 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 decreases 20 lots of co2 each year. The largest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure for this reason it produces task for many bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
