The optimum growing conditions for the jatropha curcas plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil must be complimentary draining without any water logging. But adequate water and nutrition is a should for high yield. The jatropha curcas is simple to grow and it can bear the seeds within a year of planting. It supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not endure frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about to be one of the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal power company ACCESS is produces and does electrical power 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) planning to produce power for all by 2012. The small scale power generation projects 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 really budget-friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to poor villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha curcas oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of co2 each 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 largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it develops task for numerous bad rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
