The Jatropha Electrification is developing in lots of countries. Mali is considered to be among the poorest nations worldwide. At Mali, Garalo Jatropha Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the primary institutions establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are linked to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses.

The little scale power generation jobs were established in Chattisgarh, India. It is being run by Winrock International in the Kabir Dham district. This small power system offers 24-hour power supply at the really budget-friendly rate of 50 cents per light bulb to bad villagers. It is 17.5 KW capability power plant operates on raw jatropha seed oil.Jatropha is an appealing crop for rural development. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical power. 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 reduces 20 loads of co2 annually. The biggest jatropha curcas producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the biggest manufacturers. Brazil will be the biggest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure thus it creates job for numerous poor rural people. Above all Jatropha can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
