Abstract
Biodiesels obtained from aquatic biomass such as Water Hyacinth and Salvinia Molesta are discussed as potential blending substance in pure diesel. Biodiesel not only supports the economy of fuel but also saves the environment by decreasing the pollution levels. Aquatic weeds create various kinds of problems in ecosystem. One of the main issues is their fast growth which clogs the waterways. But this problem also offers a great opportunity to build a biofuel economy based on biomass of aquatic weeds. There is no need of investment of money for production of this biomass as it is considered as a waste till date. Government has to spend money to clean the water body from these aquatic weeds. Use of this waste in production of biodiesel confirms two objectives simultaneously, firstly it supports the Atmanirbhar Bharat by building our own fuel and secondly it generates wealth from waste. This paper highlights the potential of Water Hyacinth biodiesel (WHB) and Salvinia Molesta biodiesel as alternative fuels for diesel engines.
