Honge oil

Honge oil

Honge oil is derived from the "Pongamia pinnata", which is native to India. The word "honge" comes from the Kannada word for this plant. The oil was pioneered as a biofuel by Dr. Udipi Shrinivasa, of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. The estimated cost of the oil is $150 per tonne, which is highly competitive with other potential fuel oils. Researchers in India have estimated that honge oil could completely replace India's consumption of petroleum based fuels.
