Sustainable biofuel from new feedstock

news item image
The search for sustainable and scalable biofuel feedstocks has intensified. Recognising this opportunity, the potential of the Pongamia tree, a subtropical species native to countries such as India and Australia, has emerged as a highly promising and sustainable new feedstock for the production of advanced biofuels.
The tree is a carbon-sequestering, perennial crop well suited to a changing climate, with the ability to grow on and revitalise poor-quality, underutilised land while simultaneously providing sustainable sources of food and fuel.
This potential is being harnessed by agricultural innovation companies who are aiming to scale up commercial production of Pongamia-based products.

Utilising its potential


Pongamia is a hardy, climate-resilient tree that stands at the forefront of a potential revolution in biofuel production. Its attributes make it well positioned to thrive in an increasingly unpredictable climate.
The trees produce beans with remarkable capabilities, enabling the large-scale production of advanced biofuels that can significantly reduce carbon emissions compared with fossil fuels.
Pongamia...
