Pongamia: A Possible Option for Degraded Land Restoration and Bioenergy Production in Indonesia

Abstract: Indonesia has 14 million ha of degraded and marginal land, which provides very few benefits for human wellbeing or biodiversity. This degraded land may require restoration. The leguminous tree Pongamia pinnata syn. Milettia pinnata (pongamia) has potential for producing biofuel while simultaneously restoring degraded land. However, there is limited information on this potential for consideration. This paper aims to address the scientific knowledge gap on pongamia by exploring its potential as a biofuel and for… Show more

“…This study is based on a literature review of both peer-reviewed and grey literature [47]. The review mainly focused on six scientific areas of interest in English and Indonesian-agroforestry, hutan rakyat (community forest), smallholders, food security, business prospects, and Indonesia-through an intensive search of online publications that primarily appeared from 2000 onwards.…”

“…This study aims to determine variations among families of Pongamia for oil content and seedling growth (generative and vegetative propagation). The information on genetic variations is important for selection and tree improvement programs to produce genetically improved seeds of Pongamia for biofuel and land restoration in Indonesia [13]…”
