Bio-diesel is one of the pollution free, renewable sources of energy, providing an opportunity of employment to a large number of farmers and laboures through plantation of Bio-diesel plants like Jatropha, Karanja, Mahua, Neem, Polong etc. on a bigger scale in vast vacant land including the rail track and roadsides. The manufacturing of bio-diesel through transesterification of non-edible vegetable oils like Karanja (Pongamia Pinnata) proved to be compatible with HSD oil. The properties of Bio-diesel were found to be comparable to HSD oil by the investigation of certain physic chemical properties as per IS : 1460/2000 and conforming the Bio-diesel standard as per ASTM D 6751.
