Ans : In the US bio-diesels are mainly derived from Soybean oil and in Europe from the Sunflower oil. However, as India is deficient in edible oils, non-edible oils may be material of choice for producing bio-diesel like Jatropha, Karanjia and Rice bran oils, etc. Since, in India bio-diesel is in research phase, so, economics would only be generated later.
