The jatropha curcas Electrification is developing in many countries. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest countries on the planet. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes 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 small scale power generation jobs 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 economical cost of 50 cents per to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capacity power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha curcas oil lights up backwoods with electrical energy. 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 nation 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 thus it develops job for many poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
