The Jatropha Electrification is establishing in lots of nations. Mali is thought about to be among the poorest nations on the planet. At Mali, Garalo jatropha curcas Producers' Cooperative (CPP) and the power business ACCESS are the main organizations establishing jatropha curcas cultivation. The personal power business ACCESS is generates and does electricity sales. Currently 247 homes are connected to the micro grid after a payment of $30 as a contribution to the connection expenses.

The jatropha curcas planting on the wastelands has the capability to supply 50-60% of the India's fuel requirements.

The Jatropha curcas plantation in 1 hectare lowers 20 loads of co2 per year. The largest 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 producer in Latin America. The plantation is a labor intensive process thus it produces task for lots of poor rural people. Above all jatropha curcas can be utilized as a Renewable Energy.
