jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the co2 emission produced 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 dry region, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed consists of 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated effectively as a fuel for basic diesel motor. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a traditional medication disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is seldom utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it periodically utilized as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.
The maximum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be complimentary draining without any 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 world and it can grow even in poor soil. It can not stand up to frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power 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 small 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 extremely economical cost 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 curcas is an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate backwoods with electricity. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 heaps of carbon dioxide per year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive for this reason it creates task for many poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
