The jatropha curcas Electrification is establishing in many countries. Mali is considered to be one of the poorest countries worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations developing jatropha curcas growing. The private power company ACCESS is creates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 homes are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection costs. 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 projects 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 really budget friendly price of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant runs on raw jatropha curcas seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil illuminate rural locations with electrical energy. 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 lowers 20 heaps of carbon dioxide annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it develops task for many poor rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
