Honge oil is derived from the Pongamia pinnata, which is native to India. The word honge comes from the Kannada word for this plant. The oil was pioneered as a biofuel by Dr. Udipi Shrinivasa, of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. The estimated cost of the oil is $150 per tonne, which is highly competitive with other potential fuel oils. Researchers in India have estimated that honge oil could completely replace India's consumption of petroleum based fuels.[1]
