“…See Table 5 for an example of parameters used in the production of biodiesel from Karanja oil. P. pinnata may also be referred to as P. glabra in the scientific literature (Raheman and Phadatare 2004;Sarma et al 2005) where it is sometimes referred to as koroch.…”

Biodiesel, defined as the mono-alkyl esters of vegetable oils or animal fats, is an environmentally attractive alternative to conventional petroleum diesel fuel (petrodiesel). Produced by transesterification with a monohydric alcohol, usually methanol, biodiesel has many important technical advantages over petrodiesel, such as inherent lubricity, low toxicity, derivation from a renewable and domestic feedstock, superior flash point and biodegradability, negligible sulfur content, and lower exhaust emissions. Important disadvantages of biodiesel include high feedstock cost, inferior storage and oxidative stability, lower volumetric energy content, inferior low-temperature operability, and in some cases, higher NO x exhaust emissions. This review covers the process by which biodiesel is prepared, the types of catalysts that may be used for the production of biodiesel, the influence of free fatty acids on biodiesel production, the use of different monohydric alcohols in the preparation of biodiesel, the influence of biodiesel composition on fuel properties, the influence of blending biodiesel with other fuels on fuel properties, alternative uses for biodiesel, and value-added uses of glycerol, a co-product of biodiesel production. A particular emphasis is placed on alternative feedstocks for biodiesel production. Lastly, future challenges and outlook for biodiesel are discussed.

“…Azam et al (2005) reported that fatty acid methyl ester (FAMEs) of oil of P. pinnata was found most suitable for use as a biodiesel since it meets the major specification of biodiesel standards of the USA, Germany, and European Standard Organization. Extensive studies have shown that Pongamia triglycerides hold promise as alternative diesel engine fuels (Shrinivasa 2001;Sarma et al 2005;Scott et al 2008;Sharma and Singh 2008;Mukta et al 2009;Kesari et al 2009a).…”

“…It can be propagated either by seeds or by root suckers (Duke 1983) and the yield of kernels per tree is between 8 to 24 kg (Bringi and Mukerjee 1987;Kesari et al 2008). The seeds contain about 28 -34% oil with a high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids (Sarma et al 2005;Kesari et al 2009a). The tree can grow on unproductive land and is adaptable to wide agro-climatic conditions.…”

Pongamia pinnata is a leguminous tree known for its multipurpose benefits and as a potential source of biodiesel crop. Its added benefits to grow on marginal lands make it a suitable candidate in agro-forestry. These properties support the suitability of this plant for large-scale production required by a sustainable biodiesel industry. While utilizing these species as a source of biodiesel, there is a further need for research and extensive knowledge generation into various areas of production and utilization. The future success of P. pinnata as a sustainable source of biodiesel will heavily depend on an unlimited feed stock supply. This will call for large-scale plantations of clonal stocks of elite genotypes to encourage afforestation programs coordinated both at the central and state levels to cater to the needs of the biodiesel industry. The success rate will rely on the elite planting stock, propagation techniques, and plantation practices and models in making Pongamia cultivation an economically viable proposition.
