Jatropha is the plant with many possible advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission given off 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 desert, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil content in it. The oil from jatropha can be used as biodiesel blend approximately 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was evaluated successfully as a fuel for basic diesel engine. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is used as a conventional medication disinfectant and to cure diseases like cancer, piles, 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 avoiding crops from livestock and it sometimes used as residential or commercial property demarcation. It lowers the soil disintegration.
The optimal growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil ought to be free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient 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 withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of nations. 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 establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is creates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 families 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 little scale power generation jobs were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the very inexpensive price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil illuminate rural areas with electrical power. 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 reduces 20 lots of co2 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 in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it produces job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
