Rapid depletion of fossil fuels, increasing fossil-fuel price, carbon price, and the quest of low carbon fuel for cleaner environment – these are the reason researchers are looking for alternatives of fossil fuels. Biodiesel is a gifted substitute as an alternative fuel has gained significant attention due to the predicted littleness of conventional fuels and environmental concern. The utilization of liquid fuels such as biodiesel produced from Calophyllum inophyllum oil by transesterification process represents one of the most promising options for the use of conventional fossil fuels. The Calophyllum inophyllum oil is converted into Calophyllum inophyllum methyl ester known as biodiesel processed in the presence of homogeneous acid catalyst. The physical properties such as Kinematic viscosity, Density, Calorific Value, Cetane number, Fire point and Flash point were found out for Calophyllum inophyllum methyl ester at different blends.
