jatropha curcas is the plant with lots of possible benefits. As the fossil fuels are decreasing quickly and the co2 emission given off from it contaminates the atmosphere, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to overcome 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 curcas seed contains 35 percent oil material in it. The oil from jatropha can be utilized as biodiesel mix up to 20% without refining. The oil burns with clear smoke-free flame, and was checked effectively as a fuel for simple diesel motor. It is not a food crop because the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to treat illness like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise utilized for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from animals and it occasionally used as home demarcation. It minimizes the soil disintegration.
The maximum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant ranges from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be free draining pipes with no water logging. But sufficient 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 supplies oxygen for the planet and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not withstand frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in numerous countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations establishing jatropha growing. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are connected 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 little scale power generation tasks were established 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 extremely economical price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.jatropha curcas is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up backwoods with electricity. 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 minimizes 20 loads of co2 per year. The largest jatropha curcas producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive hence it creates task for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
