Jatropha is the plant with numerous prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission produced 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 dry area, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical area. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested effectively as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop since the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a standard medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, piles, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom used as a live fence in avoiding crops from animals and it occasionally used as home demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.
The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should 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 planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in numerous nations. 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 institutions developing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects 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 really inexpensive cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 heaps of carbon dioxide annually. 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 extensive procedure for this reason it develops task for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable resource.
