Jatropha is the plant with many potential benefits. As the fossil fuels are declining quickly and the co2 emission produced from it pollutes the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi dry region, little care suffices for its growth. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha curcas seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha curcas can be used as biodiesel mix approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was tested successfully as a fuel for simple 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 cure diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is also utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes utilized as property separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.
The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient 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 bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many . Mali is considered to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical power 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) mission of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation tasks 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 really cost effective cost of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electrical energy. 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 minimizes 20 lots of co2 each year. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it creates task for lots of bad rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
