The optimum growing conditions for the Jatropha plant varies from 1000 to1500 mm annual rainfall, with temperatures of 20 to 28 C. The soil needs to be complimentary draining pipes with no water logging. But appropriate water and nutrition is a should 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 poor soil. It can not hold up against frost.

The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations on the planet.

The personal power business ACCESS is produces and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs.

The small scale power generation tasks were established 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 rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers.

The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the ability to provide 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare minimizes 20 lots of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest producers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive procedure hence it creates task for lots of poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
