jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of potential advantages. As the nonrenewable fuel sources are declining quickly and the co2 emission emitted from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid region, little care is enough for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix as much as 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively 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 standard medication disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely used as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as residential or commercial property separation. It decreases the soil disintegration.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be free draining with no water logging. But adequate 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 offers oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 households are linked 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This little power system provides 24-hour power supply at the extremely inexpensive rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electrical power. The jatropha curcas 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 each year. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process for this reason it develops job for many bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
