IIT (BHU) researchers developed a patented wastewater treatment method using two novel microalgae strains to efficiently remove contaminants. The system removes ammonium and phosphate, producing microalgae biomass that can be converted into biofuel or used as protein supplements and animal feed. This cost-effective, continuous treatment...
Biomass-based electricity, contributing 2.6% of India's power, is gaining traction as a sustainable alternative, utilizing agricultural residues to reduce stubble burning. MNRE promotes biomass projects using residues like bagasse and crop waste, with Denmark’s vibrating grate boiler technology improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The technology, achieving...
Researchers at UAS GKVK scaled pyrolysis experiments to produce low-cost, sustainable fuel from plastic, biomass, and bio-briquettes, generating char, syngas, and bio-oil for various uses. The biochar produced enhances soil fertility, water retention, and carbon sequestration, supporting sustainable farming and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. UAS...
The BioTRIG system, using pyrolysis technology, could significantly benefit rural communities in India by turning organic waste into bio-oil, syngas, and biochar. Pyrolysis reduces indoor air pollution and provides cleaner energy through bio-oil and syngas. The system is projected to cut greenhouse gas emissions by...
CSIR transferred beta glucosidase enzyme production technology to Sarthak Metals Ltd., using filamentous fungus and solid-state fermentation .The enzyme boosts lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis by 30%, enhancing biofuel efficiency and supporting 2G ethanol projects. It has additional applications in textiles, detergents, and organic synthesis. To know...
Nov 07, 2023 The Global Biofuel Alliance (GBA), an initiative launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi aims to facilitate the adoption of biofuels as a key component of energy transition and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Gauri Singh, Deputy Director General of the International Renewable Energy...
