“…It is assumed that the material for biogas production is bought from a processor at 7% of the price of Jatropha curcas oil. Jatropha curcas oil is strongly correlated with palm oil price which is indexed at main commodity exchanges in Southeast Asia [43].…”

“…A significant number of articles about Jatropha curcas biodiesel are focused on fuel properties [36][37][38][39][40][41], different approaches and processes used to produce biodiesel from Jatropha curcas [29,42,43], comparative studies on fuel properties of Jatropha curcas with other biodiesels [44][45][46][47] or evaluation of its impact on countries [24,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54]. As many studies were conducted that analyzed utilization of this plant for biodiesel, no comprehensive study is known to the authors that deals with the use of Jatropha curcas byproducts for a biogas power plant.…”

Recent movements for the decarbonization of the electricity sector have become a priority for many countries around the world and will inevitably lead to the sharp decline of fossil-fuel-based energy. Energy from fossil fuels is to be replaced by renewable energy sources (RES), although the transition will neither be cheap nor smooth. One sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels and which will take a considerable share in the increasing supply of renewable energy resources is biofuels. There are various types of biofuels used in practice; however, biodiesels represent one of the most popular and widespread ones. This paper focuses as a case study on the byproducts of Jatropha curcas, a crop and a plant that is already used for biofuel production and which is subsequently employed in electricity generation in Jatropha curcas producing regions. This paper identifies the limitations and prospects of Jatropha curcas utilization. Also, Jatropha curcas is compared to other materials suitable for biomass generation. An economic analysis for a 2 MW biofuel powerplant was conducted incorporating various market-related risks. The study shows that at current prices, net profitability can be achieved using Jatropha curcas byproducts for producing electricity.

“…Its seed contains 25-35% non-edible oil extracted by mechanical press. It is also reported that 1 L of crude oil can be produced from about 4 kg of P. pinnata seed which ultimately can produce about 896 mL of biodiesel [59]. After oil extraction, oil cake, a by-product could be used as fertilizer or solid fuel [52].…”

The demand of petroleum fuel is increasing day by day. To meet up the energy demand, people of developing countries like Bangladesh basically used energy from indigenous sources, which are reducing quickly. Hence, it should be emphasized to explore unconventional fuel to overwhelm the crisis of petroleum fuels. Koroch (Pongamia pinnata L. Pierre) is a quick-growing leguminous tree that has the ability to grow on marginal land. Higher oil yield as well as physicochemical properties increases the suitability of using Pongamia as a promising substitute for supplying feedstock of biofuel production. Besides biofuel production, P. pinnata has multipurpose uses as traditional medicine to animal feed, bio-pesticides, and bio-fertilizers. A better understanding and knowledge on the ecological distribution, botanical characteristics, physiology, and mode of reproduction along with physicochemical properties, and biosynthesis of oil is essential for sustainable production of biofuel from P. pinnata. In this chapter, we discuss overall biological and physicochemical properties as well as cultivation and propagation methods that provide a fundamentals for exploiting and improving of P. pinnata as a promising renewable source of biofuel feedstock.

“…Among various options for biodiesel production from tree-borne oilseeds, it is the most promising candidate. It produces more quantity of biodiesel per kg of seed as compared to Jatropha (Patil et al 2014). Traditionally, all parts of plant are used by native people for curing various ailments, including leprosy, gynecological problem, dental problem, piles and skin disease (see Yadav et al 2011 and references therein).…”

A reproducible protocol developed for in vitro regeneration of Milletia pinnata using hypocotyl segments. Multiple shoots were induced from hypocotyl explants through direct adventitious shoot bud regeneration. The proximal end of hypocotyls was responsive for shoot bud induction. Silver nitrate and adenine sulphate had a positive effect on shoot bud induction and elongation. The maximum response and number of shoot bud produced in media supplemented with 8.88 μM BAP with 108.6 μM adenine sulphate and 11.84 μM silver nitrate. Elongated shoots were harvested and successful rooting of microshoots achieved on MS media supplemented with 9.84 μM IBA, with 81.1 % rooting. Remaining shoot buds sub-cultured for further multiplication and elongation. Each subculture produced eight to nine elongated microshoots up to four subcultures. The rooted microshoots were successfully hardened and transferred to field.
