Sharan Shegedar

Abstract: Global warming due to vehicle exhaust emissions, high oil prices, waste policies, pressure on imports and depletion of oil reserves have triggered an interest in finding alternative energy sources to meet demand and replace fossil fuels. The need of the hour is to find successful strategies for lowering emissions and to develop sustainable and long-term renewable fuels. Biofuels such as biodiesel, biogas, pyrolytic oil, and ethanol and other biomass sources are currently the subject of interest. The present report is focused on conversion of non-edible Honge de-oiled seed cake (the waste residue left after extraction of oil from the seed) into Honge bio-oil (HBO) through pyrolysis process and utilize the obtained bio-oil in diesel engine as alternative fuel.
