jatropha curcas is the plant with many prospective advantages. As the fossil fuels are decreasing rapidly and the co2 emission released from it contaminates the environment, the world is working towards an alternative fuel to conquer it.
The Jatropha curcas is the plant which can grow in semi arid area, little care suffices for its development. It grows both in topical and sub tropical region. The jatropha seed contains 35 percent oil material 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 tested successfully as a fuel for simple diesel engine. It is not a food crop given that the oil is non-edible. The oil is utilized as a standard medicine disinfectant and to treat diseases like cancer, stacks, snakebite, paralysis dropsy etc. The seed oil is likewise used for lighting and in soap preparation. It is rarely utilized as a live fence in preventing crops from livestock and it occasionally used as residential or commercial property separation. It reduces the soil disintegration.
The optimal growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm yearly rains, with temperature levels of 20 to 28 C. The soil should be totally free draining without any water logging. But appropriate 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 . It provides oxygen for the world and it can grow even in bad soil. It can not stand up to frost.
The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest nations in the world. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main institutions developing jatropha cultivation. The personal power company ACCESS is generates 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 little scale power generation jobs were developed 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 affordable cost of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.jatropha curcas is a promising crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.
The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of carbon dioxide each year. The biggest jatropha producing country 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 hence it produces task for numerous poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
