Biofuel Technology
We are focusing on processing technology to establish sustainable biodiesel production from Jatropha, Castor, Animal fat-based, and waste cooking oil, utilizing locally sourced or to be sourced feedstocks and catalysts to develop novel technology. This includes, production of biodiesel from the alternative biological sources, its fuel properties analysis, and engine performance analysis. Hence, our primary concerns are in:
Biomass Laboratory
We are also working on effective utilization of biomass wastes, agro, forest, or household or municipal waste to make energy commodities or manure as follows:
Ongoing research activities include the identification of plants, particularly invasive plants, that are suitable for producing biochar and green nanomaterials.
Plastic to Fuel Technology
We have also established a 1 kg and 10 kg waste plastic-to-fuel conversion laboratory. The following are the ongoing activities in this laboratory:
