The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in many nations. 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 developing jatropha growing. The private power business ACCESS is produces and does electrical energy sales. Currently 247 households are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses.

The small scale power generation tasks were developed in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system provides 24-hour power supply at the really of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant works on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is a promising crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural areas with electrical power. The jatropha planting on the wastelands has the ability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare reduces 20 lots of co2 each year. The biggest jatropha producing nation in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest manufacturers. Brazil will be the largest producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor extensive process for this reason it produces job for lots of poor rural individuals. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable resource.
