India has been a large importer of urea for several years and the domestic production has remained nearly stagnant.

Government policies

Previous UPA government announced plans to revive fertilizer units of Fertiliser Corporation of India and Hindustan Fertiliser Chemicals, which have been

remaining closed for over a decade.

NDA government also proposes to revive a few closed state run urea plants.

Minister of Chemicals and Fertilisers of Government of India has stated that government has set the target of achieving self sufficiency in urea fertiliser production in the next 5 years. He has even hoped that India can become an

exporter of urea after 5 years just as China.

While it is pleasing to hear about such targets and ambitious growth plans, careful investigation of ground realities make one wonder as to whether such targets are really achievable. One may doubt as to whether the various

imponderable factors have been taken into careful consideration while fixing the target on whether the plans have been made in vacuum by ignoring the

ground realities and the problems that may be encountered in realizing the dreams.

INDIA’S PROPOSED UREA PROJECTS – ARE THE TARGETS ACHIEVABLE?

Under the New Investment Policy, which was notified in October 2014 by NDA government, private players are required to furnish bank guarantee of

Rs.300 crore for each of the proposed new project, while the public sector firms are exempted from paying any bank guarantee. Bank guarantees have been sought under the new policy to ensure that only serious players apply.

Proposed projects

In the wake of the new investment policy, the Fertiliser Ministry has now received 11 proposals for urea projects, out of which a few proposals are for setting up new

units and the rest for capacity expansion of existing plants.

National Fertilisers, in joint venture with Engineers India, has proposed to

undertake the revival of Ramagundam unit of Fertiliser Corporation of India Ltd., (FCIL) in Telangana.The government will also consider a proposal for revival of

Gorakhpur fertilizer unit in joint venture with Krishak Bharati Cooperative and FCIL. The state run Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (RCF) will go to the public

investment board for setting up its third plant in Thal, Maharashtra. The Sindri unit in Jharkhand and Baroni unit in Bihar are also under consideration for revival.

Each of the proposed unit may have urea capacity of 1.3 million metric tonne per annum and it will entail an investment of around Rs 5,000 crore each. According to

government‘s expectations, revival of closed units and new projects will ensure production of another 9 million metric tonne annually.

Questionable target schedules

In Indian conditions, as per the past track record, it takes atleast 3 years to design, implement and commission new urea project, after taking firm decision with regard

to choice of appropriate technology tie ups and financial closures. In the case of several such large projects in India, the time taken for the completion of

preliminary activities including the financial closures have been well over 2 years in the past.

Private companies including Zuari

Agro Chemicals, Indo Gulf Fertilisers, Chambal Fertilisers,

Bharat Coal Chemicals and Nagarjuna Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd have submitted proposals. Also,

four PSUs – Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF), GNFC, GSFC

and FACT have proposed to set up urea projects under the policy.



Ground reality is that the proposed new and revival projects are only under preliminary study at present. Right now, even the pre feasibility reports have not

been completed and scrutinized. Preparation of detailed techno economic feasibility reports have to be further done before taking firm investment decision. Even the capacity of the proposed projects are still under discussion stage. Based on the

present status of these projects, it is appropriate to consider that the projects are only in preliminary planning stage at present.

Under the circumstances, the target schedule of 5 years from now indicated by the minister for completing the proposed projects and India attaining self sufficiency in

urea appears to be far fetched and questionable.

Uncertainty with regard to feed stock tie ups: Several urea projects in India are facing constraints with regard to availability of

the feed stock.

Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals‘ plant near Panagarh in West Bengal uses coal bed methane (CBM) as feedstock for production of urea.But, this urea manufacturing facility has been idling for nearly two years now for want of gas. Also, idling is the

investment of approximately Rs.5000 crore. The 1.3 million metric tonne per annum urea project was to run on 2.8 million metric standard cubic metre

(mmscmd) of coal bed methane to be supplied by Essar Oil from its Ranigunj field beginning 2012. But two years later, Essar is producing only 0.3 mmscmd of gas or a little over 10 percent of the promised volume. The non availability of gas has

forced Matix to reschedule the plant‘s commissioning several times since 2013.

At the time of preparation of pre feasibility report for the new urea projects and revival of closed units, there is likely to be protracted debate with regard to choice of the feed stock and the source of supply, while evaluating the economic and

technical advantages of using alternate feed stock such as coal or natural gas.

In the case of proposal to revive the closed units, there is no choice with regard to location of the project. Earlier, when these projects were in operation, the type of feed stock used could be different from the appropriate feed stock that should be

used now, depending upon the present availability and price factors. To this extent, location of the project constrain the choice of the feed stock, in the case of reviving

the closed projects.

Story of urea project of Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals‘,West Bengal is an immediate example. Three urea units in South India namely Madras

Fertiliers, SPIC and Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilisers remained closed in 2014 for several

months due to government withdrawing subsidy support for naphtha based urea projects.



Revival of closed units not straightaway task

Fertiliser units that are sought to be revived have been remaining closed for over a decade now. The technology adopted for the production of urea by these units have undergone substantial improvements over the years.Such improved technology

parameters may call for different type of facilities and operational sequence in the plant.

Further, the environmental regulations now in force are far more stringent than that were a decade back. Moreover, several of the equipments that have been

remaining without being operated for long time in the closed plants should have become considerably damaged and corroded now and it may be difficult to put

them back in operation at optimum standards. Considering the above facts, the revival of the sick units will call for considerable

changes in technology practices, plant layout, equipment design and effluent treatment facilities.

While on the job, one may even think that it would be more economical and time

saving to build an entirely new plant rather than reviving such old or sick plants that have remained closed for long time.

Feed stock uncertainties

For the urea projects, feed stock can be either coal or natural gas. In the case of coal, unlike it‘s application as fuel, use of coal as feed stock for urea

production require stringent specifications.

As the coal produced in one area may not be of the same quality as from

another area, possibilities of sourcing coal as feedstock

from alternate locations may pose problems and substitution of source of

coal procurement may not be feasible in some case.

This aspect has to be very carefully looked into while deciding the sourcing of

coal, particularly in the case of projects that are sought

to be revived and where location can not be changed.



Indian production of natural gas is nearly stagnant and it is unlikely that the domestic production of natural gas would be stepped up in significant level in the

near future. Therefore, any new projects based of natural gas has to be dependent on import of gas, for which LNG terminals at nearby locations are necessary.

It takes atleast 5 to 6 years to build a new LNG terminal. So linking of natural gas supply to the project on long term basis and gas transportation network are vital

factors that have to be considered. All such factors need considerable deliberation, while finalizing the pre feasibility

study for the proposed project, which is the first stage of study.

Considering the present status, it is highly doubtful whether the targets indicated by the Minister for Fertiliser can be achieved.

While it is very important that India should become self sufficient in the production of urea to the extent possible, it may be appropriate for India to consider setting up urea

projects in other regions in the world, where feed stock would be readily available and energy cost would be low.

Such projects can be set up as joint ventures, with firm commitment to supply the product to Indian market.

One is not sure as to whether the government has considered these options, while chalking out plans for setting up new urea projects and revival of the closed ones.

Make or buy decision

China is large producer of urea in

the world and will continue to dominate in the global urea market due to surplus production.

The low cost of energy in some

regions such as US, Russia, Middle East, Iran will provide definite advantage for these countries in

producing urea at low cost.

With India having no particular feed

stock advantage, question arises as to whether India would be justified in building large urea capacities. The

new and revival projects have to be competitive with urea produced in

some other parts of the world.


CAN INDIAN DEMOGRAPHY BE AN INCENTIVE FOR INVESTMENT? Swaminathan Venkatarman, Director, Nandini Consultancy (S) Pte Ltd., Singapore

[email protected] People may be wondering as to whether the Prime Minister is not concerned about the explosive population growth in India, with Indians adding the population of Australia every year. In the last twenty five years, India has added a population greater than north America and Europe.

With the mouths to feed increasing at alarming rate and the production and supply not meeting the surging demand, those who listened to Mr. Modi‘s speech can justifiably think that the Indian demography is a drag and not a gain. However, one can safely conclude that Mr. Modi cannot be unaware of this fact but was only trying to use the Indian demography as a favourable factor for overseas investment promotion in the country. Obviously, Mr. Modi was pointing Indian demography as a virtue out of his necessity to attract the investors to make the best of a difficult situation, considering the fact that he has no other alternative in the present situation. Ageing economies : Most of the developed countries including Europe, China and Japan are now ageing. Such ageing societies tend to save more and consume less, as population tends towards retirement. The tax payer base in ageing societies tends to get narrower. Public spending particularly on health care and pensions tend to be significant burden in the national budget of these countries.

While inaugurating Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his characteristic style (of which the country is now familiar ), told the dignitaries from abroad that India should be considered as the favourable destination for investment by them in view of three Ds. Mr. Modi went on to describe the three Ds as democracy, demography and demand. While the statement was certainly striking and was immediately applauded, it set one thinking later on, as to how could demography of India with large underfed population, can be considered as a matter of pride and factor for promoting investment.



CAN INDIAN DEMOGRAPHY BE AN INCENTIVE FOR INVESTMENT ? Such scenario lead to the demand growth from these developed economies slowing down. This has already started happening and demand will continue to slow down , posing increasing challenge for the market in these regions. These developed countries are now desperately looking for market elsewhere, to sustain their economy and it‘s growth curve. ―Advantages for India‖: 50% of Indian population is less than 30 years old with total population of more than 1.2 billion. India is one of the few large economies in the world with large majority of younger population supporting a smaller proportion of older population. The demographic advantage that India has is that it has a young population, that will be on the forefront of consumption and economic growth in the country. The government has a potentially favourable and growing tax base , which enables investment and other productive spending. A gain or a drag? The Prime Minister tried to cleverly portray the demography which may be a drag factor for India, as a gain factor for the foreign investors. However, the overseas business men, shrewd as they are, would inevitably ponder as to whether a large consuming population is really a gain for them, when the population has little buying power. It would really be a great advantage for them if such huge population has the matching capacity to buy large quantity of diversified goods. But, this is not the case in India today. The Prime Minister has the task of enabling the country men to have the large purchasing power in quick time , which cannot happen without large overseas investment . Probably, he would have addressed this issue in the private conversation with the overseas investors, requesting them to invest in India, boost the economy and then reap the benefits by creating the large demand base in India. Convincing the overseas business men to do so, rests on India‘s credibility and confidence building measures .

“Over population is the definition of

being forced to live with others”

The challenge: Whatever may be Mr. Modi‘s optimism, one cannot conceal the fact that the size of India‘s population itself is a challenge. Can the nation support more than 1.2 billion people with ambitions and aspirations to a good life? Can nature in India (Land, water, space, air, etc.) sustain the consumption needs of such huge and increasing population ? At what point does the population become a burden rather than an asset ? Is it already the case ?


IMF’s MISLEADING PREDICTION ON INDIA’s GROWTH OUTBEATING CHINA

According to the IMF report, India‘s growth will not slide with others, as it is

expected to reap huge net gains from the fall in global oil and commodity prices. Complex problems confronting India

The question is whether India can grow at 7% and above in 2017 and beyond, up

from 5.5% in 2014. India‘s economic environment today is characterised by a complex web of state

controls and complicated subsidies and corruption in government machinery, which considerably contribute to a lethargic and under performing economy.

In spite of the recent initiatives of the Government of India, the task of achieving high growth in quick time appears to be daunting. The difficult problems faced by

India are many and are not easy to resolve in quick time.

In such conditions, it is necessary to avoid over simplifying the issues and over estimating India‘s growth prospects.

Can India grow faster than China?

Given the sheer size of their populations, both China and India have the potential to dominate the global economy .However, so far, India has made little impact on the world economic and global industrial scenario.

While it is predicted that China‘s growth would fall from 7.4 percent in 2014 to a

modest 6.9 percent in 2017, the fact is that the size of Chinese economy is much bigger than that of India and its fundamentals are much stronger than that of India.

Views of IMF

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has

predicted that India is on track to outpace China in the next few years and become the world‘s fastest growing large economy.

In its latest update to its World Economic

Outlook (WEO) report, the IMF said that India is likely to grow 6.5 percent in 2016-17, higher than 6.3 percent for China.The IMF has now

projected that China‘s growth rate will decline to 6.8 percent in 2015-16 and 6.3 percent in 2016.


IMF’s MISLEADING PREDICTION ON INDIA’s GROWTH OUTBEATING CHINA

Even if India were to maintain high growth in terms of percentage, its economic base is much smaller compared to China.

It is extremely optimistic and wishful to predict that Indian economy will over take China in the near future. While it is a fact that both the countries are growing and

they are trying to catch up with richer economies, still India is far behind the developed countries in various aspects.

No doubt,India is shaking off the effects of market isolation, under educated population, limited access to technology, poor infrastructure and regulations that

stifled business development and economic growth. But, most of India‘s problems at grassroot level still remain unaddressed.

It is misleading to argue that economic growth in India will be boosted by demographics. On the other hand, big demography can be a drag, as it leads to

several other social issues and conflicts that can not but have negative impact on the overall growth of the economy.

While India‘s population is growing, China‘s population is shrinking. India‘s

population growth will only put India at disadvantage compared to China, as large segment of Indian population is underfed and poorly nourished.

India needs to build lots of infrastructure, improve access to quality education and reform the bureaucracy that has existed for years under many vested interests.

This is an area in which China‘s more authoritarian system has an edge. Its leaders have greater liberty to make hard choices and smooth out rough patches.

IMF‘s forecast unacceptable

It is important to read IMF‘s forecast in proper perspective.

As compared to US and China, India‘s economic footprint is small. India account for a little over 2% of

the global economy, as against the US share of 22% and China‘s 12%.

One sixth of the world‘s people live in India, but India has such a

small role in the global economy.

The IMF forecast of India‘s growth outbeating China is misleading and conceal the fact that India still has

a very long way to go. *****

VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM SEWAGE & MSW Observations of the students:

Ms.G.Subhashini,M.Tech.,V Year, Industrial Biotechlogy, SASTRA University, Tanjore, Tamil Nadu

Nandini Chemical Journal organized All India essay competition for college students on ―Appropriate technologies for value added products from sewage and municipal solid waste (MSW)‖ Number of students from all over India participated in the essay competition. Objective of the essay competition is to encourage to the students to study the subject in depth and provide their suggestions and recommendations. The entries submitted by the following five students have been selected for award of prize.

* Ms.Ankita M Raut,

Jawaharlal Darda Institute of Engineering and Technology, Maharashtra

* Ms.G.Subhashini,SASTRA University,Tanjore

* Ms.I.P.Latha Laxmi, Karunya University, Coimbatore

* Mr.Ankit Yadav,IIT,Roorkee

* Mr.Arjun Padmanabhan,Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka

Highlights of the suggestions and recommendations made by the students are provided.

Handling of lignocellulosics Lignocellulosic materials like agricultural discards (wheat straw, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse etc.), wood discards from carpentry (like sawdust, woodchips) can not be degraded at faster rates because of the presence of a natural polymer called lignin. Lignocellulosics can be delignified and saccharified using microbes (E.g.: Pleurotus ostreus, Myceliophthora thermophila). Biological delignification may be economic and ecofriendly, when compared to chemical, physicochemical (E.g.: Steam explosion, Ammonia fiber explosion) and physical pretreatment. Simultaneous delignification and saccharification of lignocellulosics is also possible by microbes.


VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM SEWAGE & MSW The end products are small saccharide units, which can be exploited to produce biofuels and other value added products like succinic acid, itaconic acid, etc. by employing microbes, which have suitable metabolic pathway. E.g.:Recombinant Clostridium acetobutylicum Rh8 is solvent tolerant and capable of producing value added products such as isopropanol, butanol and ethanol simultaneously from lignocellulosics. Aerobic treatment of sewage water Biological filters with bacteria can also be used for the aerobic treatment of sewage water. Many types of bioreactors like rotating biological contactors (RBCs), fluidized bed reactors (FBRs) are available to serve the purpose. Other examples are inverse fluidized bed biofilm reactor (IFBBR) and expanded bed reactor (EBR). For anaerobic treatments that produce low sludge and methane, contact digesters, packed column reactors, anaerobic baffled digesters, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors can be used. Methanogenic anaerobes can decompose sewage to generate CH4 (methane) , which can be properly collected to prepare ―biogas‖. For periodical batch operations, sequential biological reactors can be utilized. Though operating cost and maintenance problems hinder the mass application of these techniques, these are worthy choices, on seeing their bright sides.

Such use of aquatic macrophytes is an economic, energy efficient technique which requires very low maintenance. Phargmites karka , Typha sp,Schoenoplectus sp, Myriophyllum sp are other plants which gathers attention in the area of phytoremediation of sewage as well as waste water effluents from industries. Root zone treatment Reeds (eg: Phragmites sp) absorb oxygen through stomatal openings and transfer it to hollow roots, from which oxygen enters root zones for microbes to respire. Industrial as well as domestic effluents can be cleaned by these microbes.Reeds ensure the supply of oxygen for the aerobic bacteria or fungi to grow.

Phyto remediation Certain plants can accumulate considerable amount of heavy metals, as they grow. Sebentin acuminater can grow in chromium or nickel contaminated environment. Water hyacinth can be used to eliminate heavy metals from sewage. Mesquites have been found to accumulate heavy metals from contaminated sites

Mechanical biological treatment One of the less expensive and well established technologies to produce refused derived fuel (RDF ) from MSW is mechanical biological treatment (MBT). An MBT plant separates out metals and inert materials, screens out organic fractions and separates out high calorific fractions for RDF. RDF can also result from a ‗dry stabilization process‘ ,in which residual waste is dried through a composting process leaving the residual mass with a higher calorific value. The RDF thus produced is either used directly as fluff or is compressed to make pellets. RDF fluff can be directly combusted in dedicated WTE plants, whereas making RDF pellets increases the marketability of the product, as they can be used for co combustion in various solid fuel industries like cement kilns, coal fired power plants, etc.

Waste to energy combustion (WTE) WTE is defined as a process of controlled combustion, using an enclosed device to thermally breakdown combustible solid waste to an ash residue that contains little or no combustible material and that produces electricity, steam or other energy as a result. WTE combustion decreases the volume of wastes by up to 90%. WTE is recognized as a renewable energy technology by the Government of India. Different process for waste to energy combustion are * Pyrolysis

* Gasification:

* Incineration and mass burning:

RDF project needs lesser capital and can make use of existing infrastructure, compared to WTE. RDF can become an important alternative to coal. In India, many RDF plants are in not operation and/or not operated regularly because RDF facilities overestimated the supply of wastes and the fraction that can be recovered as RDF. Further, maintenance costs were either ignored or were severely underestimated. These issues need to be addressed in future RDF projects.


VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM SEWAGE & MSW

Mr.Arjun Padmanabhan, B.Tech.,III Year, Chemical Engineering,

Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal, Karnataka WTP system operated in Israel The WTP system which has been launched in Israel converts municipal waste products into various composites, which are used as rails, blocks, posts, tiles, insulation etc. It enables the fabrication of low cost materials which can either be sold at outlets or be donated. There are considerations that will need to be taken into account,when this system is initiated in India. It is necessary to devise ways to efficiently segregate small glass particles,which may be thoroughly mixed with the large quantities of waste. There is technology readily available to achieve separation. However, the second aspect that needs to be looked into is whether there is a direct relation between the quality of value added products manufactured and the cost of technology used. Some of the various products that India can look to produce using the WTP system are pallets, cheaper tiles and wood replaced goods. Algae cultivation using sewage water Cultivation of algae in sewage treatment may be cost effective and lead to the production of algal biomass. Algae removes the toxic components and heavy metals present in waste water. Utilization of sewage sludge can be done after the following treatment.

Sewage water for irrigation Sewage water, once recycled, can be used for irrigation purposes. A study from the University of California reveals that treated waste water (after undergoing cleansing in the sewage treatment plant) can be safely used in the manufacture of food crops. The study focused at producing raw foods such as carrots, cucumber and celery to check the amount of contaminants as cooking leads to a loss of bacteria.The results of the study showed that the levels of contaminants were minimum.

The incoming sewage stream is passed through a pretreatment channel wherein large solids are collected in a landfill; This is followed by channelizing the remaining slurry through an aeration and a primary sedimentation tank. The scum and solids that are collected as a result of these processes are spread through a sludge digester and this leads to the production of biogas. The biogas produced can be used as fuel or for heating purposes such as cooking (once water is removed).


VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM SEWAGE & MSW India can implement this strategy in their food crops, but there are areas of research that need to be done regarding what kind of contaminants are present in the food crops, as the study also showed that leafy vegetables absorbed more amount of contaminants.

The reactor extracts more than 75% of the phosphorus and 15% of the ammonia from a sewage sludge stream of 50,000 litres per day. The resulting mixture is used to make roughly 500 kilograms of fertilisers.

Extractions of nutrients for waste water Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies-extracts phosphorous and other nutrients from wastewater and then recycles it for use as fertilizer. Ostara estimates that approximately 200 plants in North America and several hundred plants in Europe and the rest of the world are candidates for the technology. The company has been running a plant at Edmonton, Alberta since 2007 and just recently opened a new plant in Oregon.

Fertilizer from pig waste A company in Denmark, has created a design for a feedlot that will automatically collect the urine from pig, separates out the urea and then prepare it for a useful product beyond the farm. The collector lets waste from pigs fall through a grate. Once beneath the grate, the urine is rapidly separated from the manure. If the separation is not accomplished quickly, the urine turn to ammonia. Ammonia is actually the source of the terrible smells on farm, so that is another benefit. A few universities in U.S. are working on similar ideas. Power cell phones: Professor Derek Lovley,University of Massachussets, Amherst, USA, has been working with Geobacter, a species of bacteria, since he discovered it living in mud from the bottom of the Potomac River, about 20 years ago. For most of that time, it was prized for ―breathing in‖ iron and other substances, which made it useful for cleaning waste water or earth of toxic metals. But in more recent years, Lovley and other researchers have been studying Geobacter‘s habit generating electrons as a byproduct of its respiration process in anaerobic environments. The process is not entirely green.


VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM SEWAGE & MSW The process is not entirely green. Carbon dioxide in the gas from the manure has to be burned off before the methane can be sent down a pipeline but it does eliminate many of the hazards associated with manure.

Revenue can also be generated through carbon credits and selling the solids as cow beds or fodder for, maybe some day, organic flooring or building materials. Organic matter into coal Renewable Fuel Technology,California, USA has devised a modified version of the FischerTropsch process to convert organic matter into coal. Organic matter gets converted to syngas (synthetic gas) first. Recycling used bottle with micro organisms Ireland‘s Bioplastech (out of University of College Dublin) has devised a way to recycle old plastic bottles and containers with microorganisms. The bugs eat a cooked down version of plastic bottle and metabolize it into a new, saleable version of plastic.

Their design dries the waste on the spot and zaps it with microwaves to heat it into a plasma for gasification. Then, the toilet stores the gas in a solid state fuel cell stack to produce electricity. A biogas digester collects methane as microbes and produce it inside a closed container. With the right equipment, the gas channelled from a container of waste could generate electricity as well as heat water for homes and industry. Sanergy, Kenya is the organization behind the useful bio cycle modification.

Hydrogen gas production from human waste Solar power can be used to break human waste into hydrogen gas and left over solids. Power is generated on the spot. Human waste is converted as fuel briquettes and biochar. In a unique variation of biogas production from human waste, researchers at Delft University of Technology,Netherlands have worked out a way to produce synthetic gas- ―Syngas‖ which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.


VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS FROM SEWAGE & MSW Researchers from the University of Colorado in Boulder,USA developed a solar powered toilet that turns waste into biochar. And researchers from RTI International in North Carolina,USA designed a toilet that converts waste into fuel briquettes that it burns for storable energy. Hydrothermal carbonization: Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) process offers attractive and alternative technique for the conversion of sewage sludge to value added products. The technology is used for the conversion of wet waste stream into valuable products via thermal processing. Hydrothermal carbonization of sewage sludge is carried out at 200 deg C and 2.1 MP in a closed reactor for 1 to 6h.

PLANT CLOSURES

ITC decides to shut matchbox unit at Bareilly,India Exactly a decade after ITC acquired 74% stake in India‘s largest matchbox maker in the

organised segment, the 92 year old Wimco, a unit of global major Swedish Match AB, for around Rs 200 crore, ITC has decided to close the last unit in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.

The company, the only one to represent the mechanised sector in the country, had been facing stiff competition from the unorganised sector for some time, but continuous

excise duty disadvantage has now rendered it totally unviable, forcing the shutdown. According to sources, with its takeover of Swedish Match‘s 74% stake in Wimco in 2005

through its wholly owned subsidiary Russell Credit, ITC had tried to consolidate its grip on the matches industry, which has so far been dominated by companies from the unorganised sector.

With the acquisition, ITC gained control of a mechanised capacity of 5 billion matchboxes a year through five factories, Kolkata, Chennai, Ambarnath in Maharashtra,

Dhubri in Assam and Bareilly. And soon, ITC‘s own brand of matches, AIM, Delite, IKNO and Mangaldeep started competing with Wimco‘s flagship brand Ship.

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACID FROM SEWAGE WATER INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIA

Dr.Karthik Gopalakrishnan,Senior Consultant,Nandini Consultancy Centre,Chennai

E-mail: [email protected]

Algae Systems Algae Systems integrates three different technologies for algal wastewater

treatment, offshore floating photobioreactors and HTE, completing the transformation of waste materials namely CO2 and raw municipal wastewater into

valuable end products such as clean water, renewable fuels and bio-fertilizers. The main goal of the organization is to create platform, where the energy positive waste water treatment process is coupled with carbon negative fuel production

process. This is a technology company which is on the lookout for sewage sites to implement the technology.

Government of India has launched Clean India Campaign which has caught the imagination of the country.

However, the country needs integrated waste management programme to ensure that the value added products would be produced from municipal solid waste and

sewage water.

It is possible to produce omega 3 fatty acid from sewage water, which is an important value added product.

Bioprocess algae LLC

Iowa based Bioprocess algae (BPA) which is co-located with Green Plains Inc. (an

ethanol company), captures CO2 and turns it into value added products like EPA and DHA (Omega 3 fatty acids), using their

proprietary Grower Harvester™

The Grower Harvester™ is a unique technology, when the algae is grown and harvested on a high surface area biofilm

based material. Their design also allows for the CO2 to be pumped into the head space,

which provides exceptional benefits for a gas transfer. The company boasts of a commercial scale demonstration facility in

Shenandoah, Iowa.


LANZATECH, IOC-DBT RECYCLES CO2

INTO OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS LanzaTech and research team from the IOC-DBT Center for Advanced

BioEnergy Research (an entity co funded by India‘s Department of Biotechnology and Indian Oil Corporation Limited) have developed a

process that recycles CO2 emissions into omega 3 rich fatty acids.

IOC-DBT centre says ―Both IOC-DBT and LanzaTech have demonstrated the integration of IOC and LanzaTech process at bench scale at IOC-DBT Centre to produce omega-3 fatty acids (mainly DHA) and lipids‖.

Co production of lipids can make algal oil economically feasible.

A continuous pilot plant facility shall be set up at IOC (R&D) next year which shall integrate both the processes. This project can be a game changer for production of omega 3 fatty acids and oil from algae in an

economically viable method.‖ ******

Recycling carbon dioxide gas as the sole carbon source for continuous gas

fermentation, LanzaTech‘s microbes produce acetate that is then consumed as

energy and carbon by a proprietary algae developed by the team at IOC-DBT.

These algae are rich in omega 3 fatty acids and can be utilized as an omega 3 rich fish meal substitute or the algal oil can be

extracted and purified as an independent omega 3 lipid product.

OMEGA 3 FACILITY IN NORWAY BASF has agreed to sell its manufacturing facility for natural fish oils, medium concentrated omega 3s and customized bottled fish oil at

Brattvåg, Norway, to Marine Ingredients (Mount Bethel, PA).The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.

Marine Ingredients will, through the deal, gain control of omega 3 production, which is central to the company‘s tailor made omega 3

products.

BASF will focus on highly concentrated omega 3 fatty acids, one of the key growth areas for BASF‘s nutrition and health division, following the company‘s acquisitions of Equateq in 2012 and Pronova Biopharma

in 2013.


METHANOL FROM SEWAGE WATER INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIA

Enerkem‘s clean technology platform is a 4 step thermo chemical process that consists

of feedstock preparation, gasification, cleaning/conditioning of syngas and catalytic synthesis.

Enerkem‘s Edmonton facility is capable of producing as much as 30,000 metric tonne of methanol per year. This will also help increase the City of Edmonton‘s waste diversion rate from 60 to 90%.

The company may be open to implementing the technology at partner sites.

Government initiatives to support such kind of projects in India will be highly

appreciated and beneficial.

The Indian import trend of methanol is growing at AAGR of 7.2%.

Period (From April to March) Quantity in metric tonne

2009-2010 822247

2010-2011 813421

2011-2012 1199635

2012-2013 1398982

2013-2014 1310438

The availability of natural gas in India is limited and there are no new methanol projects under implementation to cater to the increasing demand for methanol.

India is a sewage rich country and has opportunity to make methanol from sewage water.

Enerkem, a waste to energy company headquartered in Montreal, Canada, operates a

commercial scale waste to methanol facility in Edmonton Canada.

Enerkem converts mixed waste into pure synthesis gas,

which is then converted to the production of biofuels and chemicals using proven well

established and commercially available catalysts.


POLYETHYLENE WAX (PE WAX) INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Grade

PE wax can be made in two main grades namely emulsifiable and non emulsifiable waxes.

The difference between both the grades are in relation to the molecular weight. The products are made in the molecular weight range of around 6000 and in the

range of around 2000 to 4000

Emulsifiable polyethylene wax Emulsifiable polyethylene wax is used in textile finishing, leather auxiliaries,

cosmetics, crayons, polishes, paper coating, adhesives and packing industry. It is an important textile processing chemical

Non emulsifiable polyethylene wax

Non emulsifiable polyethylene wax is used as carrier for pigment concentrates, lubricants for plastics and elastomers.

Application of PE Wax ultrafine powder

By adding PE wax ultrafine powder, the performance of ink and coatings in the following aspects can be improved:

* Due to the small particle size and the ability to migrate to the surface of coated film, the coated film has good matting performance, especially added with

silica powder.

* It can improve scratch resistance and notch resistance of coatings by reducing the friction coefficient of coatings.

* When the proportion of PE wax ultrafine powder reaches 1.5% to 2% in coatings, the abrasion resistance of coated film increases by 1 to 5 times.

* It can prevent the products from blocking that is caused by the accumulated overlap of products during the production of coatings and inks.

Polyethylene (PE) wax is a kind of polyolefin synthetic wax, with high softening point, very low melting viscosity and good dispersion property.

It has good compatibility with other wax and polyolefin resins and also has characteristics such as wet resistance at room temperature, chemical

resistance as well as excellent electric properties.


POLYETHYLENE WAX (PE WAX) - INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

After adding emulsifiers into PE wax ultrafine powder to make emulsion, adding the emulsion into acrylic resin can improve the hydrophilicity of acrylic resin and

improve its performance in anti skid, anti adhesion and resistance to stains. Applications in road paint

PE wax micro powder can appropriately control the film gloss and achieve the

matting effect, which is important for road painting. However, due to its shortcomings like incompatibility with nitro cellulose, high

hardness and high melting point, PE wax ultrafine powder should be dispersed into toluene before adding into road paints.

PE wax with different sizes and varieties has a different matting effect. From fully maintaining luster to deep matting, consumers can allocate the amount of PE wax

according to the needs to achieve an ideal effect.

Applications in plastic dyeing

PE wax ultrafine powder can be used as pigment dispersant for plastic dyeing. In the plastic dyeing, dispersion degree of pigment has a great impact on the quality of dyeing products. Therefore, pigment should be mixed in a mixer,

uniformly distributed in the dispersing agent in advance to be as a colorant for plastic dyeing.

As a dispersant, PE wax ultrafine powder has advantages such as good compatibility with plastics and good heat resistance, good mixing property with

pigments, little change on the colour of pigment and that of final products. In addition, PE wax ultrafine powder can improve the wetting and dispersing

properties of pigment agglomerates, and thus improves the colouring intensity of pigments.

Applications in printing inks

PE wax can be added in PE film, PP film as well as moisture proof cellophane paper to be used as packaging materials for fruit sugar, milk, fruit juice, skin care products, drug bottles, detergent and food. It is also an excellent wear resisting

agent for inks.

Process outline There are two main routes to make PE waxes as follows:

* Direct polymerisation of ethylene

* By product from LDPE/HDPE manufacturing process



Polymerization type PE wax is generally produced as by product during the polymerization of ethylene. Cracking type PE wax can be obtained through the

cracking of pure PE resin or waste plastics. Some PE makers sell the byproducts to PE wax makers, who remove contaminants

and refine and market the PE wax.

Honeywell purchases technology for production of polyethylene waxes

Honeywell announced in 2012 that it has purchased Evonik Industries portfolio of manufacturing technology, including patents, for the production of polyethylene waxes used in a variety of applications, from paints and coatings to adhesives and

inks.

The technology features Ziegler Natta catalysts, which have been used to produce polymers such as polyethylene since 1956.

Ziegler Natta based technology is a complement to Honeywell‘s already broad set of manufacturing technologies for polyethylene additives.

Lubrizol launches Lanco 1580 LF polyethylene wax for inclusion in wood coatings Lubrizol Corporation has introduced Lanco 1580 LF, a hard, high melting,

polyethylene wax ideal for inclusion in coatings for wood furniture and fixtures to enhance surface protection.

Lanco 1580 LF offers several key advantages including excellent scratch and abrasion resistance when used in paints and other coatings for wood finishes.

The new additive‘s benefits extend to improved uniform matting, heightened polishing and metal marking resistance, increased surface slip and because of its

high melting point (120 to 126 deg.C) improved blocking resistance. Lanco 1580 LF is versatile and designed for use in a variety of applications including

water based, solvent based and radiation cured systems. Depending on a customer‘s requirements, it can be formulated for acrylics, polyurethanes, alkyds

and urethane alkyds, polyester, NC and NC combination systems and epoxy, polyester and hybrid powder resin systems.

In addition, it is easily dispersed using low speed mixers; high energy dispersers maybe advantageous when used with low viscosity varnishes and water based

systems. Prognosis

Demand for polyethylene wax in India will go up in tune with the performance of

the application sector.

In view of the versatile applications of the product in diversified sector, the demand for PE wax is likely to go up steadily in the coming years.

Considering the Indian demand and export opportunities, PE wax project can be favourably viewed in India for investment.


ETHANOL FROM ALGAE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIA

Algenol is an industrial biotechnology company that is commercializing its patented algae technology platform for production of ethanol and other biofuels.

Algenol's technology produces high yields and relies on Algenol‘s patented

photobioreactors and proprietary downstream separation techniques for low cost fuel production. These techniques have the added benefit of consuming carbon

dioxide from industrial sources, not using farmland or food crops and being able to provide freshwater.

The company‘s technology is a unique two step process that first produces ethanol directly from the algae and then converts the spent algae biomass to biodiesel,

gasoline and jet fuel. It is claimed to be the only renewable fuel production process that can convert more than 85%, of its CO2 feedstock into the four most important fuels.

The production of ethanol through the fermentation pathway requires a sugar source such as molasses or starch.

The fermentation industry causes the production of 49 g of CO2 for 100 g of glucose utilized and 51 g of ethanol produced. This Implies that , for every

gram of ethanol produced, 0.96 g of CO2 is emitted.

On the contrary, Algenol‘s DIRECT TO ETHANOL process uses CO2 to produce ethanol, producing 0.37 g of ethanol per g of CO2.

Such negative carbon footprint technologies are needed in a developing country like India, where the availability of sunshine and CO2 is plenty.

Co-location of an algae farm with fermentation, coal burning, cement manufacturing industries may prove to be very beneficial for not only the air

quality but also fuel needs.

Considering the inadequate production of ethyl alcohol in the country for industrial use, ethanol project based on algae should be actively pursued in India. This is an excellent investment opportunity.

Algenol‘s patented technology enables the

production of the four most important fuels (ethanol, gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel) for around $1.30 per gallon each, using a

proprietary algal strain, sunlight, carbon dioxide and saltwater at production level of 8,000 total

gallons of liquid fuel per acre per year.


ETHANOL FROM ALGAE - INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIA

Algenol‘s technology for ethanol from algae

Direct to ethanol technology from algae uses sunlight, algae, non arable land and carbon dioxide to economically produce ethanol and spent algae that can be converted into other biofuels. The proprietary technology of Algenol employs

enhanced blue green algae (or cyanobacteria) and photosynthesis to convert.

Cyanobacteria are among the most photosynthetically active organisms on earth and therefore, exhibit efficient carbon fixation capabilities.

Algenol enhances the natural ability found in many strains of cyanobacteria to produce ethanol by over expressing fermentation pathway enzymes channeling the

majority of photosynthetically fixed carbon into ethanol production, rather than routine cell maintenance.

Algenol has approximately 2,300 algae strains that have been collected globally, characterized and screened in order to identify strains that are uniquely qualified

for commercial ethanol production.

Gravity facilitates the collection of the ethanol and spent algae from the Photo Bio Reactors (PBRs). Next, it‘s proprietary Vapor Compression Steam Stripping (VCSS) technology further purifies the ethanol for downstream processing using standard

distillation and, potentially, novel energy limiting membrane technologies ultimately producing fuel grade ethanol. These technologies in combination with the solar powered separation in the patented photobioreactors yield ethanol from the DIRECT TO

ETHANOL® process, with a carbon footprint that is 80% less than that of gasoline.

A central component of Algenol‘s Direct to Ethanol® technology is a proprietary flexible plastic film photobioreactor (PBR)

that facilitates product creation and collection

The plastic used for PBR construction has been specifically engineered and enhanced with resins and other features designed to

optimize a variety of performance metrics. Each individual PBR consists of ports for

ethanol and biomass collection and the introduction of CO2 and nutrients. Algenol‘s engineering team incorporates

weather data and other commercial deployment considerations in order to design photobioreactors that optimize

culture maintenance and ethanol production.


ETHANOL FROM ALGAE - INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIA

Fuel from algal biomass

Algal biomass collected following ethanol production provides the feedstock for the biomass to hydrocarbon fuels process. The biomass is dewatered before being fed into a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) unit.

The primary output from the HTL unit is a green crude oil.

The HTL crude oil is upgraded in a hydrotreater unit to a hydrocarbon product that essentially contains a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons in the range of diesel, jet and

gasoline fuels. The upgraded product contains none of the oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur present in the biocrude from HTL and can be distilled into diesel, jet fuel and

gasoline fractions.

Construction of the system was completed in November of 2014 by Algenol and

Reliance engineers and biologists. Runs and systems tests have been completed and several successful batches of algae have been grown.

At this time, day to day operations of the project are managed solely by Reliance Industries Ltd., after Algenol provided training and operational support.

Yield

On one wet acre of algal cultivation ―Algenol can produce around 8,000 gallons of liquid fuels with a majority gallons of ethanol‖, 500 gallons of jet ultra low sulphur

diesel,380 gallons of gasoline and 315 gallons of jet fuel. This is a net production of around 8,000 gallons of fuel products on a single acre of

land, which makes Algenol‘s technology the most sophisticated, advanced and environmentally friendly process for fuel production.

Proposed algae venture in India by Reliance Industries

Algenol LLC and Reliance Industries Ltd

have deployed Algenol‘s algae production platform in India, which is the first of a kind in India.

The demonstration unit is located near

the Reliance Jamnagar refinery. The demonstration has completed

several production cycles of Algenol‘s wild type host algae, but ultimately

could demonstrate the fuels production capabilities of Algenol‘s advanced fuel producing algae and systems.


ALGAE PROJECT IN BANGLADESH

Algasol Bangladesh Ltd is the manufacturing company for the world wide patented

floating Photo Bio Reactor (PBR) concept. Algae Biomass Bangladesh Ltd coordinates the production of algal biomass by independent farmers and other

growers in Bangladesh.

Algasol's patented PBR Technology The photobioreactor technology developed by Algasol is claimed to enable

microalgae production to be economically viable.

It is claimed that, the technology lowers CAPEX by 90% when compared to other growth systems and is deployable both on land (in ponds) and in the oceans.

For example, the investment cost of one hectare of Algasol PBRs is around as USD 52,500, including harvesting valves and internal aeration.

The main components of Algasol‘s worldwide patented technology include the following:

* General concept of controlling the position of a closed photobioreactor by

providing a density difference between the algae culture inside the photobioreactor and the surrounding water.

* Density management system for submerging/angling the PBR

The production of large scale algal biomass will be done

with the help of thousands of farmers as well as government and non-

governmental institutions.

Algae biomass, non processed and processed will be exported as fish feed

stock, i.e. OMEGA-3 and protein

BCSIR will develop the production of fish feed stock,

OMEGA-3 and protein.

Bangladesh Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (BCSIR) and Algasol Bangladesh Limited initiated a collaboration to implement large commercial scale

production of algae biomass.


RESEARCHERS PRODUCE TWO BIOFUELS FROM A SINGLE ALGAE

A common algae commercially grown to make fish food holds promise as a source

for both biodiesel and jet fuel, according to a new study published in the journal Energy & Fuels.

Reddy and O‘Neil began their collaboration first by making biodiesel from the FAMEs in Isochrysis. Then they had to devise a method to separate the FAMEs and

alkenones in order to achieve a free flowing fuel.The method added steps to the overall biodiesel process, but it supplied a superior quality biodiesel, as well as

―an alkenone rich fraction as a potential secondary product stream,‖ the authors write.

The scientists believe that by producing two fuels—biodiesel and jet fuel from a single algae, their findings hold some promise for future commercialization.

They stress that this is a first step with many steps to come, but they are encouraged by the initial result.

This research was funded by the National Science Foundation, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

The researchers, led by Greg O‘Neil of

Western Washington University and Chris Reddy of Woods Hole

Oceanographic Institution, exploited an unusual and untapped class of chemical compounds in the algae to

synthesize two different fuel products, in parallel, from a single algae.

For their study, O‘Neil, Reddy and colleagues targeted a specific algal

species called Isochrysis for two reasons: First, because growers have

already demonstrated they can produce it in large batches to make fish food. Second, because it is among

only a handful of algal species around the globe that produce fats called

alkenones. These compounds are composed of long chains with 37 to 39

carbon atoms, which the researchers believed held potential as a fuel source.

Algae contain fatty acids that can be converted into fatty acid methyl esters

or FAMEs, the molecules in biodiesel.

UPDATE ON GLOBAL ETHANOL SCENARIO

Global ethanol production on the rise

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) said that it expected global ethanol production to average 927 000 barrels per day on 2014 and 933,000 barrels per day in 2015.

Other biofuel makers have struggled to produce second generation (2G) biofuels in high volumes and at competitive prices, including Gevo Inc and Kior Inc.

Abengoa is one of the first companies to deliver 2G cellulosic fuel on a commercial scale, a sign that it may become a more important part of the US energy supply.

The plant cost around US$500M. It was developed over a decade and was

supported by US$97M grant and US$132M loan guarantee from the Energy Department. It was completed in August,2014 and began initial production at the end of September,2014.

The plant also has a co generation system that produces about 22 megawatts of

electricity from biomass. It uses about half of that capacity and the balance is made available to the local grid.

Ethanol plant restarted in Vicksburg,USA

Ergon BioFuels LLC, a subsidiary of Ergon, Inc., announced plans to restart the ethanol facility in Vicksburg, Mississippi, beginning May 2015.

The adopted technology not only increases ethanol yield and improves the dried

distillers‘ grain, but also allows for the production of corn oil.

Abengoa begins cellulosic ethanol production from crop waste

Europe‘s largest ethanol producer, Abengoa SA, began operations at its first commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant

in October,2014.

The facility in Hugoton, Kansas, can make as much as 25 million gallons per year of cellulosic ethanol derived from crop waste and will reach full production in the first quarter of

2015.

With nearly 60-million gallons of annual

production capacity, Ergon BioFuels is one of the largest ethanol producers in the

southeastern United States. Upon restart, the facility will purchase feedstock from local suppliers, providing substantial new market

opportunities for the region.


UPDATE ON GLOBAL ETHANOL SCENARIO

Uganda‘s largest ethanol plant from Kakira Sugars

Pune based Praj Industries bagged an order from Kakira Sugars, a leading sugar and power producer in Uganda and part of the diversified Madhvani Group, one of the largest private sector group in East Africa, for a 60,000 litres per day ethanol

plant.

The RSB standards define the criteria for reduction of greenhouse gases in compliance with Renewable Fuels Directive, applicable to biofuels entering the

EU market. The fuel grade ethanol produced from this plant will be exported.

The plant will produce fuel ethanol

and premium grade extra neutral alcohol (beverage alcohol) by processing cane molasses.

Praj recently commissioned

Africa‘s first RSB (Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials) certified 80,000-m3 of fuel grade ethanol

plant at Sierra Leone, Africa.

Brazil to raise ethanol blend in petrol to help cane sector

Brazil‘s government will announce a higher percentage of

ethanol required to be blended into gasoline by early

February,2015. The world‘s largest sugar cane

industry had asked for a higher ethanol requirement as

a measure to help the struggling sector, which has seen a wave of

mill closures in recent years. The authorities are still deciding on the new percentage, which would

go into effect 90 days after the announcement is made.

The blend requirement is currently 25 percent.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN GLOBAL POLYSILICON SECTOR

Wacker‘s polysilicon plant

Wacker is currently building a $2 billion; 20,000 metric tonne per year polysilicon unit at Charleston, TN, that is expected to start in second half 2015. Wacker

expects demand in polysilicon business to remain robust given the growth projections for photovoltaics.

Dow Corning to abandon Tennessee polysilicon assets

Dow Chemical and Corning each own 50% of Dow Corning. Dow Corning is closing its never operated Hemlock Semiconductor polysilicon

facility in Clarksville, TN, saying the plant would not be economically viable.

Hemlock Semiconductor continues to manufacture polysilicon at its Hemlock, MI, site, which has received more than $2.50 billion in investment in the last 10 years.

Wacker expects to produce

ITALY MANDATES FUEL

FROM INEDIBLE CROPS

In October, 2014 Italy became the first member of the European Union (EU) to mandate the use of renewable fuel made from inedible crops.

The law requires that gasoline and diesel contain at least 1.2% advanced biofuel, starting in January 2018. By the turn of the decade, that will

increase to 1.6% and by 2022, a minimum of two percent biofuel must be blended.

First generation biofuels, made from edible plants such as corn, have been blamed for driving up food prices. The European Council in June,2014

proposed capping the amount such fuel can contribute toward its 2020 target of 10% renewable energy in transportation at seven percent.

EU also proposed that member states set targets for advanced biofuels, made from crop waste and non food crops such as switchgrass, at 0.5% of

total transport energy use. The move should spark investors interest and may inspire the council and

European Parliament to adopt an EU wide mandate for advanced biofuels by 2020 and beyond.

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Insecticide resistant mosquito discovered

A newly discovered ‗super mosquito‘ has the ability to survive the insecticides used to treat bed nets, which are key to preventing the spread of malaria in humans, scientists say.

―The research provides convincing evidence indicating that a man made change in the environment — the introduction of insecticides — has altered the evolutionary

relationship between two species, in this case a breakdown in the reproductive isolation that separates them,‖ said Lanzaro.

Anopheles gambiae , a major malaria vector, is interbreeding with isolated pockets of another malaria mosquito, A coluzzii . Entomologists initially considered them as

the ―M and S forms‖ of Anopheles gambiae. They are now recognised as separate species. ―Growing resistance has been observed for some time,‖ Lanzaro said.

The study was published in journal PNAS.

*****

New nanowire clothes

A team of US scientists has developed a novel nanowire coating for clothes, that can both generate heat and trap the heat from human bodies better than regular clothes.

―The technology can help to reduce reliance on conventional energy sources,‖ said

lead researcher Yi Cui from Stanford University in California. Cui and team developed lightweight, breathable mesh materials that are flexible

enough to coat normal clothes.

When compared to regular clothing material, the special nanowire cloth trapped body heat far more effectively.

Because the coatings are made out of conductive materials, they can also be actively warmed with an electricity source to further crank up the heat.

Interbreeding of two malaria mosquito species in the West African country of Mali

has resulted in a ―super mosquito‖ hybrid, that is resistant to insecticide treated bed

nets. ―It‘s ‗super‘ with respect to its ability to

survive exposure to the insecticides on treated bed nets,‖ said medical entomologist

Gregory Lanzaro of University of California-Davis, who led the research team.



The researchers calculated that their thermal textiles could save about 1,000 kilowatt hours per person every year that is about how much electricity an

average US home consumes in one month. *****

Genomatica halves time to produce micro organisms

Genomatica, announced in October,2014 the latest results from the use of its

proprietary, integrated biotechnology platform that converts alternative feedstocks to major chemicals.

The company leveraged its platform to create micro organisms that achieved a ‗titer‘ (concentration of product) of over 50g per litre for one of its programmes in

less than half the time required by an earlier programme. This levels is a relevant milestone on the path towards a commercial process and highlights the platform‘s ability to rapidly engineer microorganisms to produce chemicals

The company reached commercial scale production in just five years; the process

directly converts feedstocks to a chemical that is not naturally produced; and the thousands of metric tonne of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) produced to date continues to

lead the industry in production of a high volume intermediate chemical from renewable feedstocks.

The latest example was achieved as part of Genomatica‘s butadiene development programme. In this programme too, Genomatica was using its platform to design a

microorganism and process to make a chemical that was not naturally produced; and in this case, just 10 months was required to reach 50g per litre.

Genomatica believes this improved performance represents the high leverage that can be achieved from its integrated biotechnology platform.

Genomatica‘s biotechnology platform and over 500 patents and applications enable it to develop processes for additional major chemicals. The next is for butadiene,

with Versalis and Braskem as partners and over US$100m in industry support. *****

Transparent solar panels Researchers at Michigan State University have created a solar panel that resembles

typical glass, which can be placed on top of a window to collect solar energy, while still providing an unobstructed view.

Called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator, the panel uses organic molecules made to absorb invisible wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet and

near infrared light. The material moves this unseen light to the edges of the panel, where strips of photovoltaic solar cells pick it up and convert it to electricity.



It opens a lot of area to deploy solar energy in a non intrusive way. It can be used on tall buildings with lots of windows or any kind of mobile device that demands

high aesthetic quality like a phone or e-reader.

The current version of the transparent solar cells is about one percent efficient, but the research team aims to increase that beyond five percent. Coloured luminescent solar concentrators can get efficiency up to seven percent. Opaque solar cells can

have an efficency of 15 percent or more.

An article on the transparent solar cells was written by the researchers, "Light Harvesting: Near Infrared Harvesting Transparent Luminescent Solar

Concentrators" and was the cover story of the July issue of the journal Advanced Optical Materials. The article was authored by Yimu Zhao, Garrett A. Meek, Benjamin G. Levine and Richard R. Lunt.

*****

There have been past attempts at similar tech, but

the results that have been produced were not transparent enough or were tinted.

Such colourless transparency would allow these solar panels to have a wide variety of uses. There

are residential and commercial uses of windows using this technology or gadgets like mobile phones and tablets with these solar cells

embedded in the glass or electronic signs that charge themselves or even in cars or other

vehicles with such windows.

***** Subsidy payment mechanism for SSP The Department of Fertilizers (DoF) has revised the policy for payment of subsidy to single super phosphate (SSP) units that market their product through other fertiliser companies. According to a DoF memorandum dated 29th December, ―an SSP unit shall be eligible for sale of its product by entering into marketing arrangement with any one or more urea manufacturers or P & K fertiliser companies (both manufacturers/importers), which are registered under NPS or NBS scheme with the approval of the Department of Fertilizers.‖ In case of such tie ups, SSP should be marked under the brand name of the manufacturers and the subsidy will be paid to the SSP unit. It would have to ensure fulfilment of all the conditions such as minimum production norms, product quality, etc. The memo says, ―In case of marketing arrangement with one registered fertilizer company, the subsidy will be eligible for the marketer and the marketer shall be liable for fulfilment of all the conditions such as minimum production criteria, quality of the product, uploading/entering of data of production, sale, dispatch, etc.‖

***** ONGC, IITs in technology tie up ONGC has signed an agreement with seven IITs for developing indigenous technologies to enhance exploration and production of hydrocarbons and alternate energy sources. Under the MoC, ONGC's R&D Institutes and the IITs shall jointly undertake advanced research and development projects for the E&P sector of the country in general and oilfield specific activities of ONGC in particular.

Within the ambit of this collaboration, while ONGC will make its high tech laboratories available to students and research scholars of IITs, ONGC geoscientists and engineers will also have the opportunity of working with IITs.

***** PEEK and PAEK polymers Solvay is increasing ultra high performance polymers capacity at the company‘s Panoli, India, plant by 25% to support strong demand for KetaSpire and AvaSpire, the company‘s poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) polymers, respectively.


NEWS ROUND UP – INDIA ―Thanks to their outstanding qualities of strength, toughness, excellent friction and wear properties, and heat and chemical resistance, Solvay‘s KetaSpire and AvaSpire are used in markets growing at least 8.0–10% annually,‖ the company says. In transportation, the polymers replace metals and lighten cars and aircraft, reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Other key markets include health care, electronics, and energy. Expanding capacity for PAEK resin, used as a base to make KetaSpire PEEK and AvaSpire PAEK, is under way and will rise to more than 1,000 metric tonne per year in the third quarter of 2015. Solvay increased capacity at the plant by 70% in the first half of 2013 and is adding an extra 25%.

***** Marginal fields’ auction Marginal fields were given to public sector entities – ONGC and Oil India – before the licensing rounds on a nomination basis. Marginal fields are scattered, so to develop them the fiscal regime has to be different. About 69 marginal fields of ONGC and Oil India combined have been shortlisted for the auction. A substantial quantity of hydrocarbons is locked up in these fields, but production on a standalone or conventional basis is not economically viable. ONGC holds about 165 marginal fields (79 offshore and 86 onshore). Sixty nine fields are likely to be put up for auction once the bidding policy for these blocks are ready. Of these, 63 belong to ONGC and six to Oil India. At present, in the 165 fields that ONGC holds, the total ultimate reserves are estimated to be 340 million metric tonne. Environmental concerns, access, remoteness and, of course, the price and price stability of the produced gas/liquids, make the cost of production from these fields expensive. The Government of India wants to come out with a policy on marginal fields before the new regime (model revenue sharing contract) for the New Exploration Licensing Policy is in place. Despite the government coming out with guidelines for domestic natural gas pricing last year, the issue of a suitable rate for gas produced from deepwater remains unresolved. There is need for clarity on the pricing before calling for bids. The Government of India‘s attempt to auction marginal fields has hit a road block, with the Ministry for Petroleum & Natural Gas unable to get a fix on the ‗gas price‘. While the government is clear that the price of crude oil produced from these fields will be market linked, it is unable to make up its mind on the gas rates.

Natural vanilla

Vanilla seems to be on the recovery path in India following a dismal phase when farmers destroyed the vines after failing to sell the beans. Now, farmers who had initially ventured into vanilla are regrouping and planning to revive the plant.

Retail demand by interested tourists and people who consume only natural products is seen increasing but at a slow pace. Vanilla is on the recovery path in India.

Demand for natural vanilla will increase slowly, but surely. Given the dwindling supply situation and increasing demand, the fair equilibrium is not far.

Crop loss due to fungus disease and neglect of the vines has led to supply dropping down considerably.

***** Biological crop protection technology-3AEY

Eden Research (Witney, UK) has signed an exclusive license agreement with the France arm of Sumi Agro Europe, a member of Sumitomo Corp., to sell 3AEY,

an Eden developed plant protection product, in France. Sumi Agro also will have the right to trial, register, develop, and sell certain other plant protection products for use in France, using Eden‘s natural encapsulation technology, GO-E Inside.

The license agreement, which lasts for 20 years, covers the use of 3AEY in

a number of agricultural applications. The initial targeted use will be on grapes for the control of Botrytis, a fungus that damages many plants and is a major concern across Europe.

On 21 November 2014, Eden announced an exclusive licence agreement with

Sipcam Europe to sell 3AEY in Italy and Spain. Eden will, under the terms of the agreement, receive an upfront payment followed by a number of milestone payments related to the European Union approving the product, which is expected

in spring 2015. Eden will also receive ongoing royalty payments based on product sales.

*****

The demand is slowly growing due to the affinity to natural products over synthetic ones.

Most of the farmers who took the risk in late 90s have abandoned vanilla. There are a few farmers in Kerala

and Karnataka who still persist with the plant but attention to the farming has been on the wane.

Production of dried beans during 2008-09 was recorded

at 200-250 metric tonne of green beans. Currently, dried beans are quoted around Rs.7,000 per kg and green

beans fetch Rs.500 per kg but the availability is low.

Mentha oil

India is one of the world‘s largest producers of mentha oil and exports nearly 80% of its produce.

The huge carryover stock of mentha oil and resistance to the current market price is leading to a glut, with synthetic mint oil garnering larger share of the market.

From March 2014 to September 2014 Mentha oil prices fell from Rs.950 per kg to

Rs.650 level. After that price sustained in the lower zone and went sideways.

It is estimated that more than 77,000 hectares is under mint cultivation in India with more than 90% of the production coming in from Uttar Pradesh. Spices Board said that the bulk of the export is in the form of crystallised menthol. China is a

major importer of the crystallised form and re exports it after value addition. *****

The producers of synthetic mint have doubled their capacity in recent time on the

back of zooming price of natural mint.

Mentha oil market needs price correction as the carryover stocks are huge. At the current

consumption level, the stocks would be sufficient for the next one year. Prices have to come down to become competitive with

PHARMA PAGE

Bluetongue vaccine for cattle launched India‘s first vaccine for bluetongue disease that is increasingly afflicting sheep and

goat population across the country was launched by the veterinary biological company Indian Immunologicals Ltd.

Indian Immunological Ltd.,developed this vaccine in collaboration with Indian

Council of Agriculture Research and Tamil Nadu University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. Indian Immunological Ltd., has developed the capacity to produce this

requirement at its Hyderabad facility, which produced the first batch of three million doses.

India would require about 60 million doses to vaccinate the vulnerable sheep and goat population.

The vaccine is given to four month old cattle population, followed by a booster dose three months later and one dose every year from then.

The company set up its New Zealand arm to produce bovine serum used for making

vaccines. The new subsidiary (in New Zealand) will start commercial production by mid 2015 with a capacity of 300 metric tonne per annum. It requires about 200 metric tonne for it‘s vaccine making capacity.

*****

Bluetongue is a viral disease, which has about 24 viral strains prevalent

across the world.

However, in India, only five strains are mostly prevalent, but its incidence in the cattle population is

increasing.

The incidence of this disease is

much higher compared to other susceptible species, including camels, with several outbreaks

reported from the sheep belt in southern and western States.

There is no preventive mechanism till date and routine drugs are used for treatment.

The symptoms include fever and blue tongue.

Regulations on sale of biodiesel

Government of India has allowed private bio diesel manufacturers to sell directly to consumers.

Earlier, only state run oil firms and private companies with infrastructure investments of Rs. 2,000 crore were allowed to market petrol, diesel or bio diesel.

The Union Cabinet gave its approval for amending the Motor Spirit (petrol) and High Speed Diesel (diesel) control order for Regulation of Supply, Distribution and

Prevention of Malpractices dated December 19, 2005.

The amendment will allow private bio diesel manufacturers, their authorised dealers and joint ventures of oil marketing companies (OMCs) authorised as dealers by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG) and give marketing /distribution

functions to them for the limited purpose of supply of bio diesel to consumers. The decision would encourage the production of bio diesel in India.

The amendment comes against the backdrop of problems faced in sourcing and financial difficulties faced by state run companies. Bulk users, such as the Indian

Railways, can now source the fuel directly.

The investment and production conditions (as applicable) specified in the Marketing Resolution dated 08.03.2002 of MoP&NG will also be relaxed and a new clause added to give marketing rights for bio diesel (B100) to the private biodiesel

manufacturers. *****

Impact on low oil price on greener fuels in USA Producers of biodiesel, a fuel made from vegetable oil or animal fats, are slashing

prices and margins in USA, in a bid to stay competitive with the price of diesel fuel, which is down more than 20 percent from a year ago.

The biofuels industry is still tiny, but USA government mandates have underpinned its growth in recent years.

Production of biodiesel has risen steadily, climbing to nearly 1.8 billion gallons in 2013 from 1.1 billion gallons in 2012, according to the National Biodiesel Board.

Makers of corn-based ethanol are feeling a similar

squeeze. Low corn prices pushed U.S. ethanol production to record levels last year, with producers enjoying robust margins. Corn has rebounded about 25 percent since

October, however, while ethanol selling prices are down as stockpiles of the fuel have surged.

Though larger than the biodiesel sector, ethanol still represents a tiny fraction of the fuels market in USA. The USA consumed about 18.96 million barrels of oil per

day last year, with ethanol accounting for about 888,000 of those barrels. *****

Wind and solar segments contributed about 1,333 MW (1,096 MW in a year ago

period) and 431 MW, while small hydro power and bagasse cogeneration contributed 187 MW and 152 MW respectively, according to Union Ministry of New

and Renewable Energy (MNRE).

As of December 31, 2014, India‘s cumulative grid interactive renewable energy installed capacity rose to 33,792 MW, up from 29,989 MW on December 31, 2013.

Wind sector accounted for 66 per cent (22,465 MW). Small hydro power accounted for 3,991 MW, while solar was in third position with a capacity of 3,063 MW.

Bagasse cogeneration and biomass contributed 2,800 MW and 1,365 MW respectively.

*****

Installed solar capacity crosses 3 GW

in India

New capacity addition in the clean energy sector was up 9 per cent during the first 9-month of this fiscal. The total installed

capacity of solar power in the country crossed 3,000 MW during the 3rd quarter.

Renewable energy sector added 2,104 MW of new capacity during first three quarters of this

fiscal when compared with 1,922 MW a year ago.

This year‘s new capacity target has been fixed at 3,770 MW, when compared with the previous year‘s target of 4,325 MW.


ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE

REACH UPDATE Six chemicals have been added to the candidate list of substances of very high concern (SVHC), which would require authorization under the European Union‘s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (Reach) regulation, the European Chemicals Agency, has announced. Cadmium fluoride and cadmium sulphate are to be added to the candidate list as being carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction. The compounds are also identified as being of ―equivalent level of concern based on probable serious effects to human health‖ specifically due to the effects on kidney and bone, ECHA says. Two benzotriazoles—UV-320 and UV-328—are identified as being ―persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic‖ and ―very persistent and very bioaccumulative‖. Two other substances, 2-ethylhexyl-10-ethyl-4,4-dioctyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate (DOTE) and the reaction mass of DOTE and 2-ethylhexyl-10-ethyl-4-[[2-[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]-2-oxoethyl]thio]-4-octyl-7-oxo-8-oxa-3,5-dithia-4-stannatetradecanoate are identified as being ―toxic for reproduction.‖ An existing entry for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is to be updated because of the substance‘s endocrine-disrupting properties, causing probable serious effects to the environment. DEHP was already included in the candidate list based on its properties as toxic for reproduction. Legal obligations that companies may have resulting from the inclusion on the candidate list apply to the listed substances on their own, in mixtures, or in articles. Producers and importers of articles containing any of the six substances newly added to the candidate list have six months from 17 December to notify ECHA if the two following conditions apply: The substance is present in those articles in quantities totaling more than one more metic tonne per producer or importer per year and the substance is present in those articles above a concentration of 0.1% weight by weight.

***** EPA plan for stricter ozone standards EPA said on 26 November 2014 that it was proposing stricter ozone standards within a range of 65–70 parts per billion (ppb),while taking comment on a level as low as 60 ppb. EPA last updated these standards in 2008, setting them at 75 ppb. Industry groups say the cuts would be too costly and threaten manufacturing and economic growth. The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) calls the proposed standard ―all pain and no gain‖. Written comments on the proposal must be received by 90 days after publication, and EPA intends to hold three public hearings on the proposed rule in 2015.
