Abstract Utilizing renewable feedstock for the production of alternate fuels is a challenging task. The need for finding a new fuel is gaining importance owing to rapid depletion of fossil-fuel resources and fluctuating crude oil price. Alternate fuel must also be environmental friendly, cheap, technically acceptable and abundant. Biodiesel, eco-friendly alternative liquid fuel, are fatty acid alkyl esters produced by chemical or lipase-catalyzed transesterification of fats or oils. It has both economic and environmental benefits in addition to its renewable origin. Feedstocks such as animal fats and vegetable oils play a vital role in biodiesel production. The demand for biodiesel production from non-comestible oil is growing steadily as there are restrictions on the conversion of edible oils into fuels. Hence, researchers are looking for promising newer sources of non-comestible oil which can sustain biodiesel production and use. These attributes have contributed to growing interest on biodiesel production from Calophyllum inophyllum oil. This study focuses on a promising newer source of non-comestible oil which can sustain biodiesel growth. Various technological options available for the conversion of C. inophyllum oil into biodiesel, their strengths and weaknesses are highlighted. Also, engine performance of the C. inophyllym biodiesel blends is also reviewed.

从 Calophyllum inophyllum 油生产生物柴油是一种潜在的非食用原料：概述

摘要 利用可再生原料生产替代燃料是一项具有挑战性的任务。由于化石燃料资源的迅速枯竭和原油价格的波动，寻找新燃料的需求变得越来越重要。替代燃料还必须环保、廉价、技术上可接受且丰富。生物柴油是一种环保的替代液体燃料，是通过化学或脂肪酶催化的脂肪或油的酯交换产生的脂肪酸烷基酯。除了其可再生来源外，它还具有经济和环境效益。动物脂肪和植物油等原料在生物柴油生产中起着至关重要的作用。由于对将食用油转化为燃料的限制，对非食用油生产生物柴油的需求正在稳步增长。因此，研究人员正在寻找有前景的新型不可食用油来源，以维持生物柴油的生产和使用。这些特性促使人们对从 Calophyllum inophyllum 油生产生物柴油的兴趣日益浓厚。这项研究的重点是一种有前途的新型不可食用油来源，可以维持生物柴油的生长。可用于将 C. inophyllum 油转化为生物柴油的各种技术选择，突出显示了它们的优点和缺点。此外，还审查了 C. inophylym 生物柴油混合物的发动机性能。这项研究的重点是一种有前途的新型不可食用油来源，可以维持生物柴油的生长。可用于将 C. inophyllum 油转化为生物柴油的各种技术选择，突出显示了它们的优点和缺点。此外，还审查了 C. inophylym 生物柴油混合物的发动机性能。这项研究的重点是一种有前途的新型不可食用油来源，可以维持生物柴油的生长。可用于将 C. inophyllum 油转化为生物柴油的各种技术选择，突出显示了它们的优点和缺点。此外，还审查了 C. inophylym 生物柴油混合物的发动机性能。
