At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power company ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha growing. The personal power business ACCESS is and does electrical power sales. Currently 247 families are connected 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) objective of the Ministry of Power (MOP) preparation to produce power for all by 2012. The little scale power generation projects 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 very budget friendly price 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 an appealing crop for rural advancement. The jatropha oil lights up rural locations with electrical energy. The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to offer 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare decreases 20 lots of co2 annually. The largest jatropha producing country in Asia will be Indonesia and India. In Africa, Ghana and Madagascar will be the largest producers. Brazil will be the largest manufacturer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive procedure hence it creates task for lots of bad rural individuals. Above all jatropha curcas can be used as a Renewable Energy.
