IIT Kharagpur Researchers Develop New Technology To Manufacture Biofuel

• IIT Kharagpur’s P K Sinha Centre for Bio-Energy developed a “soil-to-soil” technology to manufacture biofuel using enzymes, replacing pollutive chemical treatments.
• The process efficiently converts lignocellulosic biomass into biofuel while transforming residual waste into biofertilizers, making it cost-effective and eco-friendly.
• This innovative method utilizes agricultural residues like paddy straw, corn leaves, and non-edible weeds, aligning with India’s biofuel expansion goals.
• The technology, funded by multiple government agencies, is industry-ready and promises quicker, pollution-free biofuel production, supporting India’s green energy initiatives.
