TALK OF THE MONTH

BILL GATES’ SKEPTICISM ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY

AND PM’s TARGET OF 175 GW BY 2022

On a careful reading of the speech of Bill Gates, his admirers may give him the benefit of the doubt

and state that he was just thinking aloud and even before crystallising his thoughts, he blurted out his

views in a premature manner. There is no doubt that the negative views of Bill Gates on renewable

energy are ill advised and certainly is not in tune with the reputation that he commands.

At the same time, it is gratifying to note that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fixed

renewable energy target of 175 GW for the year 2022, during his recent speech in the Paris Climate

Conference.

Given the past experience in India of fixing the target and not achieving them even half way on

several occasions, many people may suspect that the Prime Minister may be unreasonably ambitious.

Perhaps, those who admire Narendra Modi for his capability to think big and his habit of announcing

tall targets in dramatic manner, may say that the Prime Minister has fixed target of 175 GW of

renewable energy by 2022, with the objective of enthusing the countrymen to work towards such

big target and work hard to achieve it. Probably, he has thrown the target as the challenge for the

Indian administrators, scientists and technologists.

However, a careful analysis of renewable energy potential in India would make it evident that such

target of 175 GW is reasonable, much needed and well within the achievable capability of India.

Present scenario and the huge target:

The present scenario is that India has around 38, O96 MW of renewable power, consisting of wind

power of 24,677 MW, solar power of 4579 MW, the small hydropower of 4161MW, biopower of

455O MW and waste to the power of 127 MW.

Given the target of 175 GW by 2022 and the present capacity of around 38 GW, India needs to

build renewable energy capacity of around 19 GW every year between 2016 and 2022. Is it possible?

It is possible if Modi government would be able to pursue the task with great determination, focused

attention, innovative approach and creation of appropriate public opinion in favour of such target.

By fixing the target of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, Narendra Modi has placed himself and

his governance capability on trial.

India has the onshore wind power potential of around 103 GW.With around 7600 km of coastal

line, India has the potential of around 350GW of offshore wind power.

India has the advantage in terms of higher solar radiation compared to countries such as Germany,

USA, Japan, Australia, Italy, which have made significant progress in solar power segment in the

recent years. Potential of solar power in India is as high as 5000 million kilowatt-hours per year.

Small hydropower potential in India is around 20 GW.

Even the pledged admirers of Bill Gates, widely acclaimed as the greatest innovator and

philanthropist of present time, would be surprised to know about the skepticism of Bill Gates

on the potential benefits of renewable energy for saving countries like India from an impending

energy crisis and to provide the ecological gains to mankind by ensuring reduction in use of

fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas) that cause global warming.


BILL GATES’ SKEPTICISM ABOUT RENEWABLE ENERGY AND PM’s TARGET OF 175 GW BY 2022

Obviously, Modi government has to largely rely on the capacity build up of wind power and solar

power to achieve the target of 175 GW by 2022. It has fixed target of 100 GW of solar power by

2022.

Challenges ahead:

There are challenges ahead and obviously Narendra Modi must be aware of this daunting task when

he fixed the target of 175 GW by 2022.

One MW of solar power capacity needs the land area of around 5 to 7.5 acres. Similar extent of land

area would be required for onshore wind power also.This means that more than one lakh acre of

land has to be made available for building up around 19000 MW(19 GW) of renewable power

capacity every year. Such land has to be acquired without disturbing agriculture farm holdings.

Of course, there are lakhs of acres of unused and wasted land available in the country and such land

has to be identified and put to use for building up the renewable power projects. The suitability of

the land for the purpose also need to be ascertained.

Another big challenge is the building up of grid capacity in tune with the capacity build up for

renewable power so that the generated power can be handled.

Building up of the capacity of 19 GW per year and creating the required additional grid capacity will

call for an investment of around Rs.1,50,000 crores per year. As the year 2016 will commence in the

next few days, we see a scenario where no provision has been made to have the necessary

investment to build the envisaged renewable energy capacity every year.

There are other issues such as an absence of any production capacity in the country for

polycrystalline silicon, which is one of the essential input material for solar cell. One MW of solar

power capacity would need 20 tonne of polycrystalline silicon.

Though some initial steps have been taken to build offshore wind power project in the coastal

region of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, it is still in very preliminary stage.

Let the nation strive to achieve the target:

While one can say that Narendra Modi’s target is technically achievable and the doomsayers would

very much doubt that the target can be achieved, the nation would be well advised to believe that

target would be possible and it should strive towards achieving the target to the best of its ability,

notwithstanding whatever may be the views of Bill Gates

SOLAR POWER PRICE TREND IN INDIA

2010: The first round of National Solar Mission auction saw bids between Rs.10.95 per unit and

Rs.12.76 per unit.

2011: Second round saw bids between Rs.7.49 per unit and Rs.9.39 per unit.

2012: Fourth round of bidding took place; lowest bid was Rs.7 per unit

2013: Foreign investors entered. Six auctions took place with some “outliers” bidding below

Rs.5 per unit.

2014: Large projects were bid out with Rs.7 per unit as the average bid.

2015: Andhra Pradesh solar park bagged by SunEdison at record low of Rs.4.63 per unit. Companies

bidding below Rs.5 per unit increased


NEED FOR APPROPRIATE POLICY

WITH REGARD TO ACCIDENTS IN FACTORIES

Practices abroad :

A number of industrial accidents do take place around the world. Inevitably, they are followed by

detailed enquiry. In some cases, the factory management have been judged as not complying with

the regulations or negligence and heavy penalty were imposed.

Closure of factories as an impulse decision of the authorities are never allowed. If factories were to

be closed, it would be done only after conducting detailed enquiry and based on the findings. In

many large global companies such as DuPont, BASF and others, accidents have taken place, but

they were never asked to be closed.

However, in the case of medium and large companies , the executives are rarely arrested .

In the case of public sector units ,when accident takes place, the Pollution Control Boards never

order closure of units and the police never arrest the directors.

It is reported that the employees were working in the production block located in the

3rd floor of the factory, when fire broke out after hexane spilled over from a tank.

The employee who tried to remove the chemical with the help of a bucket was charred to

death in the fire.

A day after the accident , Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) served the

closure order on Shasun Pharmaceuticals Limited’s Cuddalore plant for non compliance of

conditions.

Immediately after the accident , local politicians agitated against the unit. An NGO said that

closure of the unit was a welcome move and it insisted that the government should also

prosecute the people responsible for the accident.

Governments do not seem to have any specific policy, as to how the industrial acts should

be viewed and tackled.

Recently, a grave accident has taken place in the factory

belonging to Shasun Pharmaceuticals Limited at

Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, One person was charred to

death and three others were injured in a fire that broke

out in the shop floor.

Lack of consistent policy in India :

In India, in the case of many small units such as small

explosive units, fire cracker units in places like Sivakasi in

Tamil Nadu , in the event of an accident ,the owners and

directors are immediately arrested by the local police,

even before conducting an enquiry and they are put

behind the bar for several days


NEED FOR APPROPRIATE POLICY WITH REGARD TO ACCIDENTS IN FACTORIES

Obviously, authorities have different yardsticks and seem to be making distinction between small

units and big units and between the public sector and private sector units, in viewing the industrial

accidents. Several case studies can be readily pointed out to illustrate such conditions.

Knee jerk reaction

The decision of TNPCB to order the cutting of power supply and total closure of the chemical

factory of Shasun Pharmaceuticals Ltd at Cuddalore appear to be a kneejerk reaction.

Closure of such unit would inevitably render the unit sick, cause loss of employment for people

and loss to several organizations who depend on Shasun Pharmaceuticals for sourcing products etc.

This will also lead to loss of income to the state by way of taxes and duties.

Any punitive action should be preceded by quick enquiry and submission of convincing analysis of the

cause for the accident, which should be made known to the public.

Need for appropriate policy towards industrial accidents

Government of India should carefully examine the accidents in the industries and evolve a policy

approach as to how to handle such situations by government agencies. It should not be left to the

local police or the Pollution Control Boards to take a view as it deem fit in it’s wisdom.

It is possible that different persons at different times in these bodies may take different view.

Appropriate government policy is necessary to view the issue in proper perspective , so that the

kneejerk reaction of the government agencies would not result in industrial promoters developing

cold feet in promoting and running industrial projects.

It is necessary that detailed investigation should be conducted

wherever and whenever such accidents take place. Immediate

closure of the unit even before detailed enquiry, appear to be a

case of arbitrary use of power by TNPCB. There are number of

statutory bodies like TNPCB and Inspectorate of Factories etc.

who are supposed to monitor the safety standard of all

industrial units. One wonders as to what is the responsibility of

such statutory bodies in the case of such safety issues.

Shasun Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has excellent track record and it is

an important producer of sophisticated pharmaceutical products,

which are exported around the world . It’s unit at Cuddalore has

approval of its facilities from US based FDI and several other

overseas organizations of standing.

Conduct quick enquiry :

Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB) should realize that

it’s responsibility to ensure environmental standards should not

be viewed in isolated manner and it should have holistic outlook.

Certainly, TNPCB should not approach the issue as if the

factories in which accident take place should be suspected.

On the other hand, it should realise that such accidents may take

place in spite of the precautions taken by the units and safety

measures implemented.


INDIA'S CRUDE OIL OUTPUT SCENARIO

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

Target

The Government of India has set a target of cutting oil import dependence by 10% in next seven

years, as it hopes to reverse the decline in domestic oil output through a slew of policy measures,

fresh investments and technological interventions.

But the Paris-based agency has poured cold water over the government's plan, underlining in its

`India Energy Outlook' report that low quality reserves and insufficient policy responses will make

the country more dependent on crude oil import.

Crude oil production will fall 3.5% annually to 0.3 million barrels a day (mbd) in 2040 from 0.7 mbd

in 2013, as per the IEA, turning India into the second largest oil importer, behind China. During this

period, oil demand in India will grow 4.6% annually, as per the projection.

“The boost to output due to discoveries in Rajasthan subsides by 2020 and although additional

onshore discoveries of the magnitude seen in Rajasthan are not excluded, neither these nor the

envisaged development of new reserves from the offshore basins are sufficient to outweigh the

effects of declining production from existing fields,“ the report said.

The oil block in Rajasthan, operated by Cairn India, contributes about a quarter to the country's

crude output. Most other contributions come mainly from the fields operated by state-run Oil and

Natural Gas Corporation and Oil India.

Mismatch between resources and needs

Proven reserves of 5.7 billion barrels against an annual crude demand of 1.4 billion barrels and

increasing every year, underline the “stark“ mismatch between domestic resources and needs of the

country, the agency said.

Dismal overseas investment

India's record in attracting big investments to the upstream sector has been dismal.

Of the 254 blocks awarded under the New Exploration and Licensing Policy in about 15 years, only

128 discoveries have been made and 11 fields developed.

BP is perhaps the only global oil firm that has currently invested in the upstream sector.

Import

By 2040, India's import will rise to 90% of the overall oil

demand from 70% at present, according to the IEA.

Production

India's crude oil production fell marginally in 2014-15 and was

about the same in the seven months of the current fiscal as

that a year ago period.

India's crude oil production will continue to fall in the next quarter century despite the

government's ambitious targets, declining to less than half the current output as new reserves fail

to compensate for the decay in existing fields, the International Energy Agency has said.


INDIA'S CRUDE OIL OUTPUT SCENARIO - FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

Policy measures

The government of India has just announced new financial terms to attract developers for

69 marginal fields set to be auctioned next year and plans to replicate these terms in its policy being

finalised for major blocks. But low oil prices can dampen investor interest.

“Getting the incentives right for an increase in exploratory activity, through sufficiently attractive

licensing and pricing arrangements, may have only a limited effect on India's oil balance, but it could

have a much more significant impact on the domestic gas supply,“ the agency said.

Natural gas scenario

According to the IEA, natural gas output will increase to 89 billion cubic meters (BCM) in 2040 from

35 BCM in 2013, with a 3.6% growth a year. About 80 BCM of natural gas will have to be imported

to meet local demand in 2040.

Most gas produced in India is priced according to a formula set by the government last year,

according to which the local prices have dropped a quarter since March, tracking global decline.

The gas price will climb from about $4 per unit now to $7 in 2025 and $9 in 2040, according to the

agency.

WHAT STRATEGIES FOR CHINESE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL SLOW DOWN ? Swaminathan Venkataraman,Director,Nandini Consultancy (S) Pte Ltd, Singapore

[email protected]

China is dominant consumer in the global market

In the last decade, China has been largely driving the demand in the world market, due to the

ambitious growth target set for itself by Government of China, it’s aggressive investment approach

and steady opening of the Chinese economy. China has led the growth in consumption of important

commodities during the past decade.

The fact that China is dominant consumer of several core commodities in the world. can be readily

understood from the following data.

Product China’s share of global consumption

Aluminium 54%

Nickel 50%

Copper 48%

Zinc 46%

Tin 46%

Steel 45%

Lead 40%

Cotton 31%

Rice 30%

Gold 23%

Corn 22%

Wheat 17%

Oil 12%

Sugar 10%

Palm oil 10%

Natural gas 6%

China’s large share of global consumption only highlight the fact that the world economy can not

grow, without the Chinese economy growing.

Though the challenges facing Chinese chemical industry today due to global slow down are

formidable, they are well manageable.

Capacity utilization of Chinese chemical industry has to be significantly increased.

Obviously, China has to penetrate the export market even in a bigger way to sustain its

growth and improve capacity utilization level. Appropriate strategies for export market

penetration have to be carefully worked out and implemented.

The recent slow down in the world economy is real, which is

largely attributed to the slow down in the Chinese economy.

This view, obviously, implies that China is the main driver for

the global economy today and the happenings in China will

decisively influence the global developments and prospects.

The world has realized this and industries in China and

particularly chemical industry, can be justifiably proud of such

recognition of China’s importance in the global arena.


WHAT STRATEGIES FOR CHINESE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL SLOW DOWN ?

Challenges

Chemical / petrochemical industry performance in China - Period: Jan 2015 to August 2015

* Business revenue – Fall by 5.5 % year on year

* Combined profits – Fall by 23.7 % year on year

* Export value – Fall by 4.1 % year on year

* Fixed asset investment: Increase by 1.8 % year on year

* Consumption of crude oil: Increase by 6.6 % year on year

Fixed asset investment and consumption in China continue to increase inspite of fall in

overall business revenues

China’s chemical export and import trend (RMB billion)

Challenges in environmental front

Increasingly stringent regulations to protect the environment are expected to challenge the chemical

industry in China.

Some companies may need to relocate to a designated industrial zone, some need to upgrade their

facilities to meet the new emission standards, while others may be forced to shut down plants in

case of severe air pollution.

In addition, new projects will not be approved, if the emission cap of a region or industrial zone has

reached its limit.

Capacity creation efforts and the issues

With the large size of the country and having biggest population amongst any country in the world,

China made massive investment during the last decade with the expectations that the expanding

Chinese domestic market will absorb the new capacities to a considerable extent. Probably, China

has also calculated that the massive capacity creation in diversified industrial sector, would enable it

to “dominate and over power” the world market.



Such expectations of China have been largely sustained until the last few years. However, such trend

has not been maintained at the same pace in recent time.

Growth in China has now been hit by the build up in imbalances by huge capacity creation that are

much larger than the demand level and around an investment/manufacturing led growth model that

is now found to be difficult to sustain.

As the market growth in China could not absorb the rapid increase in production and the growth

rate in the global market being much lesser than that of China, in recent time, there is no

alternative other than reducing the production itself by several companies operating in China,

causing low capacity utilization.

Such drop in production has to continue for some time, until the demand would pick up in the

Chinese and the global market.

Chinese chemical industries doing comparatively better

Year on year growth trend for chemical industry in selected regions (in %)

Period 2014 2015

(Estimated)

2016

(Projected)

Global 2.8 % 3.6 % 3.9 %

USA 2.0 % 3.2 % 3.0 %

Asia Pacific 5.3 % 5.2 % 5.3 %

China 9.5 % 8.2 % 7.5 %

India 2.5 % 3.9 % 5.8 %

South Korea 2.4 % 3.7 % 4.4 %

Japan 1.4 % 1.5 % 2.2 %

While the growth in Chinese chemical industry are showing signs of slow down, Chinese chemical

industry are still growing much better than chemical industry in other regions.

Net result is the scenario that China’s pain has become the world’s pain and world industry and

economy cannot untangle itself from China in the immediate future.

Dependence of other countries on

China to sustain their growth

China has been recording spectacular

growth and has been building

infrastructure and factories. Apart from

Government’s projects and that of

private sector, several multinational

companies have been investing millions

of dollars in China in building projects.

In such circumstances, China has not

only been a dominant exporter but it

has also been a dominant importer and

consumer. In other words, the global

growth is decisively influenced by the

happenings and development oriented

activities in China.



Africa

African nations are most exposed to China’s slowdown, as the countries are considerably dependent

on the Chinese market for export trade.

Slowdown in Chinese consumption of industrial commodities has led to sharp slowdown in capital

investment in Australian economy .

Multinational companies will continue to bet on China

Several large, multinational companies report that their revenues in China have fallen or stagnated

recently, but they remain optimistic about the prospects and opportunities in the Chinese market

and continue to invest in the country.

BASF reports sales of €5.5 billion ($6.25 billion) in Greater China in 2014, unchanged from 2013.

BASF plans to invest €10 billion together with its partners during 2013–20 to strengthen its

production footprint in Asia/Pacific and a significant portion will go to China.

Dependence of multinational companies on China

Attracted by the growing Chinese economy due to

massive investments promoted by government of China in

infrastructure and other areas and consequent growth in

the market ( whose growth have been far above the

growth in any other country in the last ten years), and

given the fact that European market is nearly stagnant,

multinational companies rushed to China with their

investment and technologies to exploit the opportunities

in the Chinese market .

In the process, the future business prospects of

multinational companies and that of China’s economy got

considerably interlinked.

The present ground reality is that no country in the world

or any multinational company can ignore China, while

chalking out the business plans and strategies in the

foreseeable future.

A model of Nanjing Software Park.

Multinational companies are rushing

to set up research and development

centers in this kind of high-tech parks

around China.



Coal to olefins

More than a half of new Chinese capacity will be coal or methanol based.

The first coal to olefins (CTO) unit, operated by Shenhua Baotou, started commercial operations in

2010, and eight more CTO and two more methanol to olefins (MTO) crackers had been built in

China by the end of 2014

Another 18 CTO and 8 MTO units will start up in the next five years. Total CTO and MTO

ethylene will rise to about 9 million metric tonne per year of ethylene by 2020.

Naphtha crackers

Three naphtha crackers are scheduled to start up by 2020: CNOOC’s one million metric tonne per

year unit at Huizhou, Sinopec Hainan’s one million metric tonne per year unit at Hainan and

Shanghai Petrochemical’s 600,000 metric tonne per year unit at Jinshan.

Propylene

China will add 10 million metric tonne per year of new propylene capacity over the next two years,

increasing its propylene self sufficiency from 64% in 2014 to 85% in 2017.

China will continue to be a dynamic market

After passing through a period of spectacular growth, China has now entered a period of more

moderate growth, that would lead to rationalization of capacity in China, supported by several

proactive measures of the government of China.

China is still seen as centre of growth by the entire world, despite slowdown in recent times.

In spite of the present slowdown, the fact is that China continues to grow though at lesser pace,

compared to the “feverish” level in the recent past.

China remains a dynamic market full of opportunities despite growth shifting into a lower gear,

especially since the country is seeking to improve the quality of its economic and social

development.

Dow intends to continue over the next few years

evaluating and investing to expand the company’s

manufacturing, innovation and operational networks in

China.

Mitsubishi says that it has invested in new projects in

China in the past five years and is considering further

investments in the country.

Capacity build up in China continues

It is gratifying to note that inspite of the several issues,

capacity build up in various chemical industries in

China are continuing. A few examples are given below.



The Chinese government is calling for a higher level of technology and innovation, industrial

upgrading, and environmental protection, which will bring more opportunities to industries in China

and multinational companies.

Sustainability and the transformation of the industry are on top of the national agenda.The need for

sustainable housing is a key element of China’s New Urbanization Plan and the share of green

buildings among newly constructed buildings will be raised, which will positively impact the chemical

market not only in China but around the world.

The target GDP growth rate for 2015 is 7%, and this adjusted GDP growth rate reflects the

government’s determination to improve the quality of growth and to ensure that growth can be

achieved sustainably. China’s GDP is likely to grow 6.5% in 2015 and 6.3% in 2016 before returning

to 6.5% in 2017. These compare with 7.4% GDP growth in 2014 and 7.7% in 2013.

As world trade, exclusively of China, is not a significant driver of growth, China has to rely on

increased domestic consumption as a more reliable source of growth. The key question is how fast

domestic consumption in China can grow to adequately replace fixed asset investment growth in

the economy.

With the advantage of strong capacity build up and such trend continuing in a measured way.

Chinese chemical industry have to retain their present advantages in the global market.This can be

done by effectively penetrating the global market with aggressive and organized efforts.

One of the prerequisites for strong export penetration is to have adequate marketing and

distribution network in various countries across the world. Such distribution network need to have

the capability to extend technical services support to the existing and potential consumers in the

global market.

Today, there are not many export oriented chemical trading houses in China that are comparable

to global standards.

What Chinese chemical industry should do now ?

A dispassionate analysis of the trends and happenings of

chemical industry in China would clearly reveal the fact

that Chinese chemical industry are progressing in

positive direction and there is no reason to alter the

basic approach.

Chinese chemical industry has done well in technology

development front, choice of appropriate projects for

capacity build up, creating right climate for overseas

investment and in acquisition of assets abroad and setting

up of joint ventures in different countries. Such proactive

approach have done lot of good to Chinese chemical

industry and such strategies should continue.

Of course, some fine tunings are required. Some

industries need to shed capacity to bring profitability and

pricing power back and make the balance sheet healthy.



The growing burden of health, safety, and environmental regulations—including Europe’s

Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals legislation—is forcing some of

the smaller distributors in the world to quit the business or be acquired by larger competitors that

can absorb the regulatory costs. Acquisitions have traditionally been a key component of

distributors’ growth strategies globally. Chinese chemical industry should try to acquire the global

trading houses to make quick and significant export penetration.

The global distribution industry remains highly fragmented. Therefore, potential for Merger and

Acquisition (M&A) opportunities are plentiful, enabling the biggest and financially strongest

distributors to act as consolidators.

There were 49 M&A deals in the chemical distribution sector worldwide in 2014, up sharply from

the 32 transactions in the previous year. The highest number of deals were in Europe and North

America and almost two thirds of them were made by companies with annual sales greater than

€500 million.For example Brenntag’s long standing M&A policy is to spend, on average, about €250

million per year on acquisitions and it is continuing trend.

Chinese chemical industry should remain focused on gaining strong foot hold in the global chemical

distribution industry, commensurate with its size and the range of chemical products that it

presently produces. Obviously, Chinese chemical industry has to give greater importance to

promote globally competitive trading activities in China, than what it has done so far.

FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROP (GM CROP)

WHAT SHOULD BE GOVERNMENT’S APPROACH TO GM CROPS ?

GM SCENARIO IN INDIA

Pest attack on GM cotton

However, recently, it has been reported that genetically modified cotton crop in Punjab and Haryana

states have been affected by pest attack. This has shocked the cotton farmers, as Monsanto, the

original developer of genetically modified cotton seed, has claimed that genetically modified cotton

would be totally pest resistant. Such pest attack on genetically modified cotton in Punjab and

Haryana have caused serious set back to cotton cultivation in the two states and even suicides by

cotton farmers in the states have been reported.

As Monsanto is reported to have sold genetically modified cotton seed to around 7 million farmers

in India, pest attack on genetically modified cotton has to be viewed very seriously.

Proposal to consider GM maize

At present, it is reported that Government of India is examining a proposal to accord permission for

the cultivation of genetically modified maize.

Approval for trial

The Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee at the Government of India has approved a dozen

GM crops rice, castor, cotton, wheat, maize, groundnut, potato, sorghum, brinjal, mustard,

sugarcane and chickpea for trials and directed seed firms to obtain no objection certificates from

states to carry out the actual tests.

Punjab not to conduct field trials of GM mustard

The Punjab government issued directions to Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) not to conduct

further field trials of genetically modified (GM) mustard crop, following the concerns expressed by

civil society group.

Scientists of Delhi University had conducted field trials of GM mustard crop in Ludhiana and

Bathinda under direct supervision of PAU scientists during November 2014 till March 2015.

Punjab is the only state in the country where open field trials of GM mustard crop were carried out.

GM cotton

Government of India

accorded approval for

cultivation of genetically

modified cotton in the

country in 2002. After this,

production of cotton in

India has increased four

fold, making India to be

one of the top cotton

producers in the world.



Telangana set for GM trials

The Telangana government is reported to be planning to give approvals to multinational seed

companies to conduct field trials of genetically modified crops in the state..

The move assumes significance, since Telangana is currently India’s one of the largest producers of

seeds, accounting for nearly a third of domestic seed production. More than 400 seed companies at

present engage nearly two lakh farmers to produce seeds on fields spread over 3 lakh acres.

Caught between Monsanto and States, cottonseed industry seeks Government of

India’s help

With no end in sight to the pricing tussle with Mahyco-Monsanto – the Bt cotton technology

provider – the Indian seed industry has approached the Government of India to intervene and

resolve the knotty issue. Invoking the Patent Act, Competition Act or the Environment Protection

Act, the industry asked the government to help fix the price of cottonseed, including the royalty fee

(or trait value).

“Due to high royalties fixed by Mahyco-Monsanto on its Bt cotton technology, the States intervened

by referring the issue to Monopolies and Restrictive Trade practices and invoked the provisions in

the Seed (Control) order of 1983 to regulate the cottonseed prices. They promulgated legislations

to regulate the Bt cotton seed prices, specifically to bring down high royalty.

Armed with legislations, the State governments have not raised the MRP of cottonseed despite sharp

increase in production costs. The MRP remained stagnant between 2006 and 2010 and again

between 2011 and 2015. In a span of 10 years, the price went up only once.

The second issue the industry raised was the contracts between the seed firms and Mahyco-

Monsanto for accessing Bt technology. The States have never shown interest in recognising the

contracts and licences. They haven’t considered the trait values mentioned in the contracts.

GM POLICY IN EUROPE

It is appropriate to review the cautious steps being taken by European Union with regard to

genetically modified crops.

Genetically modified (GM) crops and food can enter Europe as food, animal feed or biofuels.

GM food and feed must be approved by European Union (EU) regulators and must be labelled, but

meat and dairy products produced from animals fed on GM feed are not required to be labelled.

Telangana is set to become the sixth Indian

state to allow field trails of GM food crops

Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra and

Andhra Pradesh already allow such tests.

According to media reports, Gujarat and

Karnataka are examining the matter.

The prominent states that have refused to

allow field trials of GM crops include Bihar,

Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh

and Rajasthan.State government NOC is

compulsory for such tests


FOCUS ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROP (GM CROP

Large quantities of GM soya and maize are imported into Europe, including Britain, as animal feed.

EU has also decided to allow GM feed to include trace levels of crops, which have no safety approval

in Europe (i.e. are unauthorised GM crops).

Germany, France, Luxembourg, Austria have Government sponsored voluntary labelling schemes for

non GM fed meat, milk and eggs, so that consumers can choose to buy non GM fed products.

In Sweden, GM feed is no longer used at all, due to consumer pressure.

In 2012, Turkey announced that GM fed meat, milk and dairy products would be labelled.

European Parliament approved a new law that allowed EU member nations to ban GMOs for

reasons 'other than science’, including country planning and socio economic impact. The new law

also extends to devolved administrations, such as Scotland as well as member states.

GM crops can be grown experimentally with approval from national regulators or commercially,

if approved by the EU.

Nine nations (Austria, Hungary, Luxembourg, Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, France and Poland)

had previously banned cultivation of MON810 under so called safeguard clauses.

Another GM crop was approved for cultivation in the EU in 2010: a potato known as the Amflora

potato, which has been genetically modified by BASF to produce starch for use in paper making.

It was grown in small quantities in Germany and Sweden in 2011. BASF then withdrew from planting

GM crops in Europe in January 2012 and in late 2013. The European Court annulled the

authorisation, arguing that it had not been granted lawfully.

In 2014, following another court case, the EU considered approving the commercial cultivation of

another insect resistant maize (Bt maize 1507) produced by DuPont.

Syngenta's GA21 maize (which is tolerant to the weed killer glyphosate, brandname RoundUp) is the

only remaining GM crop in the commercial pipeline that would be suitable for growing, if plans to

opt into growing GM crops under new draft EU legislation get go ahead.

Field trials in Europe

Many experimental field trials of GM crops have been conducted in Europe. In Britain, there have

been field trials of GM potatoes (one in Norfolk and one near Leeds) and GM wheat (at the

Rothamsted research centre in Hertfordshire). Trial of GM Camila sativa ("false flax") is planned at

Rothamsted. This crop has a genetically altered oil content (high in omega-3).

Commercial growing of GM crop in Europe

Only two GM crops have been approved for

commercial growing in the EU.

One is a variety of pest resistant maize (Bt maize)

produced by Monsanto (known as MON810). This is

grown mainly in Spain (and in smaller quantities in

some other countries) for use in animal feed.



Scenario in Britain

There is no commercial growing of GM crops in Britain, but there have been experimental trials of

GM potatoes and wheat in recent years.

Attempts to introduce herbicide tolerant GM crops into Britain have been controversial, because of

the suspected harmful effects on wildlife and the likely emergence of superweeds. None of these

crops are currently approved for commercial growing.

GM crops enter Britain mainly as animal feed. Most British retailers do not sell other GM foods and

if they stock them, they must be labelled (this is also the case elsewhere in Europe).

Meat and dairy products fed on GM animal feed are not labelled as GM fed, in British supermarkets.

Scenario in Germany

Germany’s national academy of sciences has endorsed genetically modified (GM) crops.

However, the German government is considering a new law to ban geneticallyl modified organism

(GMO), after the European Parliament passed a law, allowing EU states to restrict or ban the

cultivation of EU approved GM crops.

Bundestag – Germany’s lower house of parliament will begin debate on whether or not to enact

a new law that would ban the cultivation of GM crops in Germany.

Restriction in Scotland

The Scottish government has announced that it intends to ban the cultivation of GM crops approved

by EU regulatory authorities within its borders.

The Scottish government said that growing GM crops could damage the nation's $14 billion food and

drink industry. In announcing the ban, Scottish government argued that prohibiting cultivation of

GM crops would protect and enhance Scotland’s ‘clean, green status’ and be beneficial to Scotland’s

economy.

An official request to ban GM crop cultivation will be submitted to EU authorities. The Scottish ban

would include the already approved insect resistant maize MON810 and six other GM crops

awaiting EU authorisation.

Restriction in Latvia and Greece

Latvia and Greece have made use of the new law by submitting requests to the EU to ban GM crop

cultivation.

A permanent ban on GMO cultivation in Germany would be a

death sentence for plant biotech research in Germany.

Bayer Crop Science stopped conducting GM field trials in

Germany in 2004, though the company believes that scientific

arguments will eventually succeed and open the door for

GM crop cultivation across Europe.

Another German firm, BASF, moved all of its transgenic plant

operations to the US in 2012, blaming hostility to GM crops.



SCENARIO IN USA

A large percentage of GM maize grown in the US is now used in industrial scale biofuels (agrofuels)

subsidised by the US Government. Biofuels do not have to be labelled as containing GM crops .

FDA okays GM salmon for human consumption

Genetic engineering is widely used for crops, but the USA government until now has not considered

allowing the consumption of modified animals.

The Food and Drug Administration in USA has approved genetically modified salmon, the first such

altered animal allowed for human consumption in the United States.

The US administration had stalled approval for the fast growing salmon for more than five years,

amid consumer concerns about eating genetically modified foods. But the agency now says that the

fish is safe to eat.

In announcing the approval, the FDA said that there are "no biologically relevant differences in the

nutritional profile of AquAdvantage Salmon compared to that of other farm raised Atlantic salmon."

AquAdvantage Salmon was created by the Massachusetts-based company AquaBounty .

The fish would be bred female and sterile, though a very small percentage might still be able to

breed.

There is no evidence that the foods would be unsafe, but for some people, it is an ethical issue.

Some retailers have pledged not to sell the salmon, and it is still unclear whether the public will have

an appetite for the fish.

NEED FOR CAUTION IN INDIA IN ADOPTING GM CROPS

The standard of technology practices with regard to agricultural operations are much more

advanced in European countries than what India has at present..Certification procedures are more

stringent and cautious in European Union.

Given such circumstances, it would be appropriate for Government of India to take decisions with

regard to according permission to genetically modified crop, based on the views taken by the

European Union.

Considering the European model as it is now being developed , India should wait, until European

countries would take final stand with regard to GM crops.

******

The fish grows twice as fast as normal salmon, so it

reaches market size more quickly . It has an added growth

hormone from the Pacific Chinook salmon that allows the

fish to produce growth hormone all year long.

The engineers are able to keep the hormone active by

using another gene from an eel like fish called an ocean

pout that acts like an "on" switch for the hormone. Typical

Atlantic salmon produce the growth hormone for only

part of the year. The FDA has also said that the fish is

unlikely to harm the environment.


PLANT CLOSURE

Axiall has retained a phenol plant at Plaquemine that is integrated with other Axiall facilities at the

site, which the company plans to wind down by the end of this year.

This is the second divestiture of noncore assets of Axiall in 2015, following the February sale of

phosgene business, which allows company to better focus on our core chlorvinyls, derivatives, and

specialties businesses.

Growing exports have US adipic acid utilization rates over 90% since 2012.

However, with Invista closing their nylon operations in Argentina, export prices dropping 30 to 40%

year-to-date with key trading partners and significant overcapacity globally,exporting has become

less attractive.”

Ammonium nitrate plant closure in Malaysia

CCM Fertilizers (Kuala Lumpur) will close its production plant for ammonium nitrate (AN) based

fertilizers at Shah Alam, Malaysia.

The company cites prolonged, negative market conditions and reduced demand in the last five years.

Axiall to shut down phenol plant

Ineos has acquired Axiall’s aromatics business for $52.4 million, with

an additional $10.5 million dependent on the timing and costs of the

shutdown of Axiall’s Plaquemine, LA, operations.

The acquisition includes a 900,000 metric tonne per year cumene

plant in Pasadena, TX; and the phenol, acetone and alpha

methylstyrene business, which will be transfered to the Ineos phenol

facility at Mobile, AL.

Invista to shut down adipic acid plant in Orange, TX,

Invista plans to shut down a 215,000- metric tonne per year adipic

acid plant to improve the competitiveness of its Orange, TX, site.

Plants for producing nitric acid, hexamethylene diamine, and

adiponitrile will continue to operate.

Production ends at Total’s Carling cracker

Production at Total’s Carling, France, naphtha cracker ended

on 5th October, 2015 the culmination of a previously announced

programme to close the plant, says Philippe Sauquet, Total

president/refining and chemicals.

Total announced in 2013 that it planned to close the 340,000 metric

tonne per year Carling cracker permanently in the second half of 2015

because it was “acutely loss-making.”


PLANT CLOSURE

With this, all API manufacturing activities have been shut down in India.

The reason cited was low demand for a product called Terbutaline Sulphate (TS), which was being

exported from this plant. Terbutaline is used to treat asthma, bronchitis and emphysema.

However, the company said all tablet manufacturing plants will continue to be operational.

In June 2014, the pharmaceutical company came under the lens of SEBI for allegedly fraudulent and

unfair trade practices, with regard to its delisting policy.

However, at that time, AstraZeneca’s London-based spokesperson, in an emailed response, had said

that the company has complied at every stage of the offer for sale and delisting processes and in all

respects, with the relevant SEBI regulations.

Before the delisting plan, the company closed its Avishkar research and development location, citing

a broader global business strategy to simplify its research and development footprint and focus

resources on three core therapy areas — oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, as well as

respiratory, inflammation and autoimmunity.

Part of the problem faced by AstraZeneca and other pharmaceutical companies has to do with

increased competition from generic drugs, as some of the world’s most successful drugs come off

patent.

Symbicort, an inhaler, has lost patent protection. Similarly, heartburn treatment drug Nexium has

also lost its patent protection.

Saint Gobain shuts down Maharashtra plant

Glass firm Saint Gobain Sekurit India decided to close the Bhosari

plant of the company in Maharashtra with effect from

November 30 2015, as the facility has become economically unviable

to continue the operations of this plant.

Last year, the company’s promoter group from Saint-Gobain India

said that it would open a glass plant at Bhiwadi in Haryana with an

investment of USD 185 million (Rs.1,000 crore) to strengthen its

position in India’s glass market.

*****

The supply of AN-based fertilizer will be outsourced to another

producer.

The Shah Alam plant has a capacity of 240,000 metric tonne per

year. The closure is due by 30th June 2016.

Yelahanka in Bengaluru.


SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

Leak at DuPont’s La Porte site in USA

A report released by the US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) blames flawed safety procedures, design

problems and inadequate planning for a methyl mercaptan leak that killed four workers at DuPont’s

La Porte, TX, facility on 15 November 2014.

CSB says a series of mistakes led to the fatal accident, beginning with the delivery of a raw material

used to produce Lannate, an insecticide. When a water dilution system was inadvertently activated,

the raw material’s storage tank overflowed, requiring the production unit be shut down.

But this plan had not gone under safety review as required by the company’s own standards,” CSB

says. Moreover, the CSB learned that there were no written procedures to guide operations or to

track the success of the plan or progress toward clearing the entire methyl mercaptan feed line.

High pressure in the venting system had occurred regularly since DuPont installed a $20 million

incinerator in 2011 and personnel drained liquid from the vent pipes daily to address the problem.

When alarms indicated high pressure on the night of the accident, operators mistakenly assumed

that the cause was again the incinerator. Two workers who drained the pipes died when the room

filled with methyl mercaptan gas. Two workers responding to their distress call also died.

“The building where the workers died was not equipped with an adequate toxic gas detection

system to alert workers to the presence of dangerous chemicals,” CSB says.

*****

Four employees of an aluminium powder manufacturing unit were killed in a boiler explosion at

Mela Amathur on Virudhunagar-Sivakasi highway in Tamil Nadu.

Mishandling of the boiler which is used to make aluminium powder, led to the explosion at 9 a.m.

The aluminium powder is an important raw material of fire works industry.

Two days later, operators attempted to restart the unit but

found a salt-slurry blocking a reaction system. While the

blockage was being removed, 2,000 lbs of water was

mistakenly sent to a tank of methyl mercaptan, creating a

solid hydrate that blocked a feed line. The blocked pipes

were warmed to break up the hydrate and vents were

opened to prevent pressure building up as methyl mercaptan

was liberated.

UPDATE ON CHLOR-ALKALI INDUSTRY IN EUROPE SWITCH OVER FROM MERCURY TO MEMBRANE CELL TECHNOLOGY

EU Directive

According to the chlor-alkali Best Available Techniques reference document, adopted under the

European Union’s Industrial Emissions Directive, mercury is not the best available technology (BAT)

and local operating permits will have to be updated by December 2017 at the latest. This means that

mercury-cell chlor-alkali plants will need to switch to BAT or face closure by that date.

Many plants are converting to membrane-cell technology, including one owned by AkzoNobel at

Ibbenbüren, Germany

Mercury-cell plants accounted for 22.6% of Europe’s 12.17-million metric tonne per year chlorine

capacity in 2014. Many of them are small scale and their owners are often short of money and

therefore some are likely to close.

Inovyn

Inovyn, an equally owned chlorvinyls joint venture between Ineos and Solvay, plans to close its

mercury-cell chlorine plant, the J Unit, at Runcorn, UK, at the earliest opportunity.

Inovyn, as part of the plan, will test the reliability of the site’s membrane chlorine plant, which Inovyn

and Vynova co-own, to make sure that the plant can meet Inovyn’s and Vynova’s needs following the

the J Unit’s closure. Vynova is owned by International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG; Frankfurt)

and includes the assets that Ineos and Solvay had to divest to receive EU approval for creating

Inovyn.

KOH facility of Inovyn

Inovyn, meanwhile, is building a large-scale potassium hydroxide (KOH) production facility

at its Lillo, Belgium, site, near Antwerp, also as part of the technology switch. Inovyn will implement

and commission a 160,000 metric tonne per year KOH plant by 2017 using the latest technology. It

will use much of the existing infrastructure. Major equipment has already been procured.

Inovyn’s site at Lillo was selected for the investment since it is well situated to serve European

customers, with the nearby Port of Antwerp facilitating KOH shipments. The site is also very

competitive because it already has major customers for the chlorine that is coproduced with KOH,

and they are linked directly to the site by pipeline. Inovyn inherited the chlor-alkali facilities at

Antwerp from Solvay’s former SolVin subsidiary, and they include a mercury-cell chlorine plant with

capacity for 110,000 metric tonne per year and a membrane-process plant designed for

350,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine.

BorsodChem

BorsodChem is about to sign a technology

agreement with Chlorine Engineers, part

of ThyssenKrupp, to convert a 131,000

metric tonne per year mercury-cell plant

at Kazincbarcika, Hungary, to membrane

technology.The project will be completed

by the mandatory technology switch date

of December 2017.


UPDATE ON CHLOR-ALKALI INDUSTRY IN EUROPE

Vynova

Vynova is also converting a mercury-cell chlor-alkali facility at Tessenderlo, Belgium. The unit will be

designed to produce 100,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine and 150,000 metric tonne per year

of KOH following the conversion.

The mercury-cell plant at Tessederlo has capacity for 205,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine.

Internationl Chemical Investors Group (ICIG) also owns a KOH production facility at Thann, France.

This unit is being converted from mercury- to membrane-cell technology and is scheduled onstream

in October. It has capacity for 72,000 metric tonne per year of chlorine.

Dow

Stade, Germany has the Dow’s largest chlor-alkali complex in Europe. Dow’s chlor-alkali business in

Europe, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia—where it is developing a major jv project with Saudi Aramco—

do not form part of Dow’s chlor-alkali deal with Olin, which focuses on North America.

Dow’s Stade facility has capacity for 1.59 million metric tonne per year of chlorine, of which

1.03 million metric tonne are based on diaphragm and 555,000 metric tonne. on membrane

technology. Dow’s 250,000- metric tonne per year plant at Schkopau is also based on the membrane

process.

UPDATE ON COAL BED METHANE PROJECT IN INDIA

Auction of CBM block - Present status

Government of India has auctioned nearly 30 CBM blocks under four rounds and gave another three

blocks prior to auctions.

However, currently only one block held by GEECL that operates the Raniganj (South) block is under

commercial production. Another block held by Essar Oil in West Bengal has started producing small

volumes of gas but is not declared commercial yet.

According to DGH, output from CBM blocks was expected to go up to 7.4 mmscmd by 2013-14,

but it was not achieved. The total sedimentary area for CBM exploration in India is of the order of

26,000 sqkm. Of this, exploration has been initiated in only 52% of the area.

In other words, a large area remains to be explored, says DGH website.

GEECL, the first company in India to commercially produce CBM, sells around 0.30 to 0.35 mmscmd

to customers in West Bengal. The block has 2.44 tcf of estimated gas in place.

Government of India’s directive to Coal India

In order to speed up gas production from coal bed methane (CBM) blocks, the petroleum ministry

has allowed Coal India Ltd. (CIL) to mine the hydrocarbon and set specific timelines for the same.

However, the permission comes with a rider — that Coal India cannot involve a private third party

for CBM exploitation. It can only give out equity participation to a central or state PSU with

experience in CBM exploration, while the majority stake would remain with Coal India.

As a leaseholder, Coal India , its subsidiaries will comply with the ORD Act 1948 and P&NG rules

1959 for CBM operations in all such blocks.

Coal India would utilise its mine in a way that it extracts CBM prior to coal mining operations or it

may take up simultaneous exploration of both the natural resources.

One of the major roadblocks for CBM exploration is overlapping of CBM block area with coal

mining area, as 81% of the area under CBM blocks is with Coal India. The petroleum ministry order

asking Coal India to take out CBM in a timebound manner would help prevent the issue.

The petroleum ministry said that within 24 months of grant of CBM mining lease, Coal India needs

to submit field development plan (FDP) to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH).

The time for submission of FDP may be extended by 12 months by the ministry on a case-to-case

basis.

For delay in submission of appraisal plan and FDP beyond

36 months, Coal India would have to pay a penalty of

Rs one lakh per month. In addition, if Coal India delays

production from the projected date in the FDP, it would

be liable to a penalty of Rs 1 lakh per month of delay.

In December 2013, then UPA’s Cabinet allowed CIL and

other state-run firms to also exploit CBM, while taking out

coal. But there was no movement on ground. CIL has not

made any progress, despite the UPA government allowing

the CIL to go-ahead with CBM mining.


UPDATE ON GLOBAL TITANIUM DIOXIDE INDUSTRY

Huntsman

Huntsman announced plans in late 2014 to cut 900 jobs in its TiO2 pigments and additives segment as

part of a restructuring aimed at generating $175 million in annualized savings by mid-2016. The workforce reductions include 360 positions at the Duisburg, Germany, facility; 160 positions at the Uerdingen,

Germany, facility; and 160 positions at the Calais, France, facility, which is being shut down, eliminating 100,000 metric tonne per year of TiO2 capacity.

Chemours

Chemours, in August 2015, announced plans to close its Edgemoor, DE, USA TiO2 plant shut a TiO2 line at its New Johnsonville, TN, USA site. The moves will eliminate 150,000 metric tonne per year of

capacity and save about $45 million annually, the company says. At the same time, however, Chemours is building a $600-million, 200,000- metric tonne per year plant at Altamira, Mexico, that is slated to begin

production in mid-2016.

Tronox

Tronox has suspended production at one of the six lines at its Hamilton, MS, facility, and at one of the four lines at its Kwinana, Australia, facility—approximately 15% of the company’s total pigment capacity.

Tronox has also suspended the operation of a slag smelter in South Africa, reducing its capacity by about 12%.

Recent financial and restructuring announcements by titanium dioxide (TiO2) producers Huntsman and Chemours show that conditions in the titanium dioxide market have not improved. Pricing

continues to decline, they say, and operating rates remain low. On the bright side, analysts say that inventories are falling back to normal, and with demand growth expected to outpace new capacity in

the years ahead, recovery may not be far off.

TiO2 producers have experienced steady profitability improvements through the course of the last two years, [and] all of the major companies experienced TiO2 volume gains through the course of

with a white extender, reds may appear purple or pink. The reason for this is that a red pigment

particle, depending on its structure, may reflect the red component of light plus a certain amount of

blue (purple undertone) or some yellow (pink undertone).

The appearance of the undertone effect depends on the reflected amount of these secondary

components relative to the mass tone.

The undertone characteristics of a colour also determine if the mass tone, such as red, would have a

yellow (terra cotta) or blue (deep red) appearance.

Yellow oxides have, in general, green or red undertones. Black oxides may have red or blue

undertone.

Forms

Liquid form

Liquid form is made by mixing powdered or semi-dried iron oxide with 30 to 40 percent water,

surfactants and stabilizers to form a “suspension.”

Granule form

Granules are made by mixing a binder and dispersant with the liquid and spray drying the mixture.

Powder form

Both liquid and granule forms offer improved housekeeping versus powdered iron oxide, but

powder holds the edge in economy of use.



Comparison of natural iron oxide and synthetic iron oxide pigment

The use of natural iron oxide pigment dates back centuries to prehistoric times and can be seen in

cave paintings around the world.

However, natural iron oxide pigments are nearly overshadowed by the synthetic variety, due to its

consistency and superior tailor made properties.

Synthetically prepared iron oxide pigment has been found to possess better texture, brilliance and

staining power compared to natural pigment.

When the colour of the paint is important, synthetic iron oxides are predominantly used because

they have greater tinting strength than natural oxides.

But in primers or undercoats, which are not so colour dependent as the finishing paints, natural iron

oxide pigments may be used. Ceramics may also use natural oxides to provide colour for frits and

glazes.

Application

Pigment grade iron oxide is suited for use in paints, rubber, paper, polishing rouge, ceramic,

linoleum, wall paper, plastic asphalt, cement colours, mosaic tiles and flooring.

Application sector Shade/colour Nature of application

Flooring colours Red, yellow and black Used colours for cement/mosaic flooring are red, yellow and

black.

Paints Red, yellow and

orange

Iron oxide red/yellow/orange are used as pigment in all kinds of

decorative and industrial paints.

Architectural

products Different shades

Different shades of iron oxides are added to plasters, concrete

blocks, surface textures etc., to bring out the best of building

exteriors and open up possibilities for designers.

Such coloured finishes can also be used to restore heritage

building by matching colours of the blocks/plasters with that of

the existing structures.

Tiles Red, yellow

Used to colour paver blocks, designer tiles, roofing tiles etc. due

to their long-lasting colour intensity, resistance to UV rays and

weathering resistance.

Ceramic colours Red

High purity red iron oxide is used in the manufacture of ceramic

colours that go into colouration of ceramic tiles in vivid designs.

Plastic

masterbatches Red, yellow

Synthetic iron oxide is heat stable and hence ideal for use in the

preparation of colour master batches for the plastic industry.

They also disperse fast and do not migrate.

Leather

colourants Red and yellow

Synthetic red & yellow iron oxides are used for preparation of

leather colourants. Pigments are totally free from heavy metals

and hence preferred by the industry.

Graphite

electrode Red

Synthetic iron oxide of high purity and consistent sizing used in

the manufacture of carbon/graphite electrodes and refractory

mortar and brick.

A mixture of coke, or charcoal, and a small per cent iron oxide,

can be converted to graphite by heating.



Emerging applications

Compact pigment

Whereas inorganic binders do not disperse to 100% during the usual mixing times allowed, those

prepared with organic wetting and deflocculating agents achieve excellent dispersion and hence

provide high tinting strength in concrete products.

Bayer developed compacted pigments which also incorporate organic dispersing agents.

In making them, a pigment paste is pre-shaped (by the use of perforated rollers or matrices) and the

prepared particles are rounded subsequently in granulation drums or on granulation plates.

Corrosion

As carbon steel is subject to corrosion, use of stainless steel (ASTM A316) is strictly recommended

for all process equipment, storage tanks and pipings in contact with phthalic anhydride.

Safety and handling

Phthalic anhydride has low minimum ignition energy and it is essential that adequate earthing be

maintained at all stages of handling and processing.

Storage

Phthalic anhydride should be stored in cool, properly covered, dry area away from any sources of

ignition, open flame and strong oxidizing agents.

It should not be exposed to rain/humidity as this leads to formation of phthalic acid, which is

insoluble in benzene, causing lowering of melting point.

Transportation

In the western countries, phthalic anhydride is mainly transported in liquid form, with suitable

precautions, on account of its inflammable nature and due to environmental considerations.

However, in India, phthalic anhydride is shipped in the flake form.



Applications

Phthalic anhydride is a basic raw material used as an intermediate for the production of plasticizers,

unstaturated polyester resins, alkyd resins, copper phthalocyanine and others.

Products Applications

Process outline

Phthalic anhydride is a downstream product of orthoxylene (OX), a basic petrochemical.

Phthalic anhydride is produced by the catalytic oxidation of orthoxylene with air or by the catalytic

oxidation of naphthalene. Orthoxylene is the preferred feedstock, but some producers have the

capability to switch to naphthalene as feedstock.

Contemporary processes are based on orthoxylene and all plants in India employ this route, as

naphthalene is expensive and not easily available.

Anti dumping measures

Phthalic anhydride (PAN) Manufacturers Association (PA-MA) requested the Government of India to

halt the progressive reduction of import duty on PAN under the `India-Korea CEPA‘ and enhance

the import duty to 7.5%, which is the applied MFN import duty rate.

According to the Association, domestic industry has been operating at low capacity. This situation

has arisen as a result of significant export of phthalic anhydride from South Korea, facilitated by duty

reduction offered, pursuant to India‘s schedule of commitments under the India-Korea

Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).

According to the Association, the financial hardship suffered by the Indian producers is likely to

worsen further, as under the phased reduction commitment, India is required to reduce its import

duty on imports from Korea culminating in duty free access to the Indian market.

In 2013, Finance Ministry of Government of India imposed definitive anti-dumping duty on phthalic

anhydride (PAN) import from South Korea, Taiwan and Israel.

The duty would last for five years, unless revoked earlier.

The revenue department move followed Designated Authority‘s recommendation in its final findings

in September 2012 to impose definitive anti-dumping duty on phthalic anhydride import from the

three countries.



In the case of phthalic anhydride produced by Aekyung Petrochemical Co Ltd and exported by

Humade Corporation, the anti dumping duty was pegged at `nil’.For any other producer and

exporter from South Korea, the anti dumping duty was pegged at $91.12 per tonne.

In the case of phthalic anhydride produced and exported by Gadiv Petrochemicals Industries of

Israel, the anti dumping duty was pegged at $17.99 per metric tonne.For any other producer and

exporter of phthalic anhydride from Israel, the duty was pegged at $139.76 per metric tonne.

For phthalic anhydride produced and exported by Nan Ya Plastics Corporation of Taiwan, the duty

was pegged at $63.33 per metric tonne. In the case of other producers and exporters, the duty was

pegged at $150.88 per metric tonne.

Nature of application

Infant foods

Maltodextrin is the simplest form of sugar. It has a soft mouthfeel and is easily digested.

This property enables its use in baby foods, feed supplements, geriatric foods and foods for

convalescents. It is also used as a carrying and dispersing agent for flavours and is ideally

suited for encapsulation.

Beverages

Maltodextrin is popular as a flavouring, bodying and drying agent in chocolate drinks,

flavour powders, special diets, citrus powders and coffee powders, besides others. It is also

used to replace a portion of protein whipping agent in aerated beverages.

For instant foods, maltodextrin is the perfect carrying agent due to its free flexibility, open

structure, dispersibility in cold water and ability to maintain clarity and eye appeal. It is,

therefore, extensively used as a bodying and bulking agent in puddings, soups and frozen

desserts.

Bakery products

Due to the presence of higher molecular weight saccharides, maltodextrin lends mouthfeel

and body to fruit products, granola bars, cream type fillings, icings and cakes. It is also used

as a moisture holding agent in breads, pastries and meats.

Maltodextrin is used in soup powders, concentrates and spices, spice flavour blends, cheese

sauces, cream sauces, pizza sauces and salad dressings as a bodying agent, flavour enhancer,

oxygen barrier, colour controller, stabilising and viscosity builder and as a spray drying

agent.

Dairy

Maltodextrin is used in coffee whiteners, imitation sour creams, imitation cheeses and

whipped toppings. Confectionery

It is perfect for candy coating and soft-centre candies, for frosting and glazing, for nut and

snack coating, in lozenges and for binding, plasticising and crystal inhibition. In hard candies,

it improves the hygroscopic characteristics.

Indian demand and supply

Maltodextrin is the least hygroscopic of all corn sweeteners due to its low dextrose equivalent (DE)

i.e. low sugar content and exhibits high viscosity and contribute to the mouth feel and body due to

presence of higher molecular weight saccharides.

As a multi functional food additive, maltodextrin is used in food industry such as sweets, drink, beer,

ice cream, preserved fruit, milk powder, malted milk, cake, biscuit and bread, as well as in medicine.

Maltodextrin is the perfect instant food additive due to its free flexibility open structure,

dispersibility in cold water, its ability to help maintain clarity and eye-appeal. Maltodextrin increases

the viscosity and prevents caking and crystallisation in the frozen foods such as ice cream.

Maltodextrin is a more expensive product but the quantity needed is much less than of ordinary

glucose. It can be used in products which require increased nutritive bulk without substantially

affecting the flavour of sweetness balance

Maltodextrin is used particularly for production of spray dried infant food product.

Indian producers include the following

* Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd., Gujarat

* Prathista Biotech,Andhra Pradesh

* Riddhi Siddhi Starch & Chemicals Ltd.,Karnataka & Gujarat

* Sahyadri Starch & Industries P Ltd.,Maharashtra

* Santosh Starch, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu

Demand for maltodextrin including for confectionery / malted food products

(Period April 2015 to March 2016)

Demand for maltodextrin Around 35,000 metric tonne per annum

Global scenario

The global maltodextrin market is estimated at US$ 2,525.0 million in 2014 and is expected to reach

US$ 3,398.3 Mn by 2020, reflecting a CAGR of 5.1% during forecast period.

Currently, food & beverages account for the largest market and is expected to gain further market

share to maintain its dominant position. Pharmaceuticals account for the second largest market

share with 10.1% market share. The remaining segment consists of cosmetic, animal feed etc.

Cosmetics segment is expected to exhibit second highest CAGR behind food & beverages, which is

growing at 5.3%.

Major drivers fuelling the growth are growing baby food and infant formula market.

Infant food formula utilizes substantial amount of maltodextrin as it is easily digestible by kids. In

addition, sports nutrition and meal replacement shakes that uses maltodextrin in large quantities are

potential categories of maltodextrin application.. Maltodextrin demand is on rise due to robust

market for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic encapsulation sector that uses maltodextrin as a cell

wall material for encapsulation of flavours, colours and pharmaceutical molecules.



Europe and North America together constitute more than 61% of the market share, which is

expected to remain more or less stable by 2020. Major growth is expected to come from Asia

Pacific and some East European countries. Asia Pacific, particularly China is one of the major

producers of maltodextrin.

Important global producers include the following

* Cargill Inc.,

* Ingredion Incorporated,

* The Archer Daniels Midland Company,

* Tate & Lyle Plc,

* Roquette Freres SA,

* Penford Corporation,

* Grain Processing Corporation,

* Tereos Syral and Zhucheng Dongxiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

There are around 29 maltodextrin producers in China.

Increase in demand for non-GMO maltodextrin

Demand for non-GMO sources is on the increase. The demand is particularly strong from the food

and beverages and pharmaceutical sector.

Maltodextrin produced from GMOs still accounts for bulk of the share in the market. The market

value of GMO maltodextrin is anticipated to be worth US$ 2.01 bn by 2020, whereas GMO free

maltodextrin is projected to be worth US$ 1.37bn.

Technology

Maltodextrin is a mixture of glucose, maltose, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides.

Maltodextrins is 15 to 20% dextrose equivalent and is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch,

followed by refining and spray-drying to moisture level of 3% to 5%.

Prognosis

Maltodextrin has gained acceptance in the food manufacturing industry owing to its easy miscibility,

temperature tolerance, and bland taste. It can be formulated in any food, ranging from soup & sauces

to sports drinks.

The present Indian demand for maltodextrin is much below the potential level.

With the increasing economic growth and percapita consumption and higher consumer expectation,

the demand for confectionery products and infant food sector would steadily increase in the coming

years.

Such growth would translate into steady increase in demand for maltodextrin in the country.

Li-ion battery separators

Li-ion battery separators are used in consumer electronics, such as smartphones and tablets, and in

electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and other automotive applications where significant

demand growth is forecast.

A Li-ion battery separator is a thin, microporous film of polyolefin placed between the cathode and

anode of Li-ion batteries; it prevents contact between the electrodes but allows lithium ions to pass

between the electrodes.

Asahi Kasei will build a production line for the company’s Hipore-brand lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery

separator at its production complex at Hyuga, Japan.

Asahi will invest about ¥5 billion ($41.7 million) to build the Hipore production line, which will be

the fifth at the site. The line will have a manufacturing capacity of 60 million square meters per year

and Asahi expects it to become operational in spring 2016.

The company currently produces Hipore separators at Moriyama, Japan, as well as Hyuga and it has

a total Hipore production capacity of 255 million sq meters per year.

Asahi Kasei, on 26 August, 2015 completed the acquisition of Polypore International (Charlotte,

NC). Polypore produces Li-ion battery separators under the Celgard brand. Celgard’s manufacturing

plants are located in North Carolina and at Cheongju, South Korea. Combining Polypore’s Celgard

products with the Hipore lineup has significantly expanded Asahi’s Li-ion battery separator product

portfolio.

Asahi Kasei’s project announcement follows decisions by other Japanese companies to increase their

respective Li-ion battery separators’ production capacity.

Ube Industries announced in September,2015 that it would expand its production capacity by

rebuilding existing facilities at its Ube, Japan, complex and establishing production facilities at its

Sakai, Japan, site.

Sumitomo Chemical said in June,2015 that it will more than double its capacity for Li-ion secondary

battery separators. Production capacity at Sumitomo’s site at Niihama, Japan, will increase by next

year and a Li-ion battery separators plant will be built in South Korea

UPDATE ON TRANS – PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP)

Twelve nations, including the United States and Japan, have reached an accord on the

Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement.

Representatives from the 12 countries announced a deal on 5 October,2015 in Atlanta

after days of intense negotiations.

The deal still requires approval from the US Congress.

.But the deal is expected to be a boon for the chemical industry. Most tariffs on most

industrial goods will be eliminated immediately on the deal’s final approval, although some

tariff eliminations may be phased in over time. The chemical industry accounted for 14% of

all US exports in 2014. The TPP enhances market access for shale-advantaged

US chemicals.

A major sticking point was the duration of

patent protection for pharmaceuticals,

which US pharma companies wanted to

mandate at 12 years—the protection

period in the United States, which is longer

than that of many other countries. The final

deal mandates a floor of 5 years of

protection, but it does not require 12,

although the 12-year period will remain in

place in the United States.


TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

HYBRID CARBON SOOT CUTS COST OF LITHIUM ION BATTERY

The scientists developed a method to synthesise carbon nanoparticles from candle soot to be used

as an anode material for the functioning of lithium ion batteries (rechargeable batteries). Anode is

one of the three critical components in the functioning of a battery.

Carbon or graphite is commercially used as an anode material in lithium ion batteries, which are

widely used in electronics like laptops, smartphones and pacemakers due to their high energy

density. However, carbon has a disadvantage in terms of capacity.

Hence, it is preferred only for low current application. To power electric vehicles and aircraft, which

require high current, nickel hydride or nickel cadmium or metal oxide batteries are being used. "The

synthesizing and mass production of metal oxide based material is, however, difficult. These batteries

are environmentally hazardous compared to lithium ion battery though the latter cost 40% more to

manufacture than the former.

Carbon soot deposited on a stainless steel foil from the tip of the flame is directly used as a working

electrode with lithium foil used as a counter electrode.

Researchers compared carbon nanoparticles from the tip and the middle of the flame of the candle.

They observed that the material on the tip, which is produced when wax is burnt at 1400 deg, C is

very conducting. The middle burned at a temp of about 700 deg. C had impurity of unburnt wax,

which is not good for battery performance.

Glass as strong as steel developed

Researchers in Japan have created a type of glass that is stronger than many metals and almost as

strong as steel

The researchers from The University of Tokyo and Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute

used what they call aerodynamic levitation, to create glass imbued with extra amounts of an oxide of

aluminium.

Glass that does not break when dropped or when struck by another object would be useful in a

wide variety of applications, from automobile windows, to skyscrapers to smart phones and tablets.

One of the ways to make traditional glass stronger is to add larger amount of an oxide of aluminium

to the mix, specifically, alumina, because it has one of the highest dissociation energies among oxides.

Carbon nanoparticles synthesised from candle soot,

measuring about 30 nanometre (1 nanometre is one by

100 crores of a metre) - are interconnected with each

other; this gives them a unique size and morphology for

better performance. The research showed better

performance compared to commercially used material like

metal oxide, which are currently used in these batteries.

Researchers Manohar Kakunuri and Chandra S Sharma in the Indian Institute of Technology,

Hyderabad have found that something as mundane as candle soot can power lithium-ion

batteries used in electric cars and aircraft.



The end result is a glass with more alumina in it than any other produced to date - a glass that the

team said is transparent, colourless and extremely hard.

DRDO to develop technology to help submarines remain under water for long

The Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) is in the process of developing ‘air

independent propulsion (AIP)’ technology that would ensure future Indian-built submarines stay

underwater for longer periods than a conventional submarine.

Submarines tend to be battery operated, since generators cannot be used under water. In order to

recharge the battery, submarines have to surface, for taking in air and throwing out the exhaust,

making the stealth vehicle vulnerable to detection.

However, with the AIP “that is based on a fuel cell which converts methanol like substances to

produce hydrogen, which in turn produces electricity,” submarines can remain longer under water,

said the official, adding that the technology would help boost its combat operation capability.

Meanwhile, the sea trials of the first of six Scorpene submarines has got underway, and are likely to

continue until the commissioning of the submarine next year.

The first of the six Scorpene submarines, the INS Kalvari is part of a $3.6-billion contract signed in

October 2005 with French firm DCNS, which is currently assembling the Scorpenes at the Mumbai

port.

Worm that ‘eats up’ plastic

Chinese scientists have discovered a method to decompose stubborn plastic waste with the help of a

worm that can fully digest and degrade it into carbon dioxide and nutrition.

The finding was jointly published in the peer reviewed scientific journal Environmental Science &

Technology, by professor Yang Jun, from Beihang University, and Dr Zhao Jiao, from the Shenzhen

based genomics organisation BGI.

However, when more alumina is added to the mix while the

glass is being made, silicon dioxide crystals develop, where

the mix meets the surface that is holding it, making the end

product worthless as a glass.

The new process involves causing the mix to be held in the

air, while it is forming, by pushing it from below with oxygen

gas and then using a laser as a spatula to mix the materials

together.

“Every 24 hours or so a conventional

submarine has to surface in order to

replenish its oxygen supply,” explained an

official at the DRDO, a defence research

agency, adding that new technology under

consideration at DRDO’s unit, Naval Material

Research Laboratory, at Ambernath, near

Mumbai, would help the submarine stay

underwater for a longer duration.



Porous liquid to filter carbon emissions developed

Scientists have developed the world's first 'porous' liquid that can potentially be used to capture

harmful carbon emissions to prevent them from entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Researchers at Queen's University Belfast in UK, along with colleagues at the University of Liverpool

and other international partners, invented the new liquid and found that it can dissolve unusually

large amount of gas, which are absorbed into the 'holes' in the liquid.

The research could pave the way for many more efficient and greener chemical processes, including

the procedure known as carbon capture trapping carbon dioxide from major sources; for example a

fossil fuel power plant and storing it to prevent its entry into the atmosphere.

"A few more years' research will be needed, but if we can find applications for these porous liquids

they could result in new or improved chemical processes," researchers said. "At the very least, the

researchers have managed to demonstrate a very new principle that by creating holes in liquids can

dramatically increase the amount of gas they can dissolve”.

Low cost solar powered light source

In 2013, two London based designers launched a crowd funding campaign to help cover the cost of

making product samples, so that they could distribute lamps for trials in India and Africa.

The newer version allows the lights to stay on all of the time—previously, they would go off while

somebody lifted up the bag again. The company also developed SatLights, a series of attachable lamps

that can be plugged into the Gravity Light source to create other points of light in a room.

At a retail price of $20, the GL02 might be an expensive acquisition for the poor people, but the

designers say it pays for itself within weeks, due to savings on kerosene. They expect that the price

will come down in time.

Storing solar power in salt water

Until recently, it has not been possible to store solar energy in an environmentally benign way.

Pittsburgh based company called Aquion Energy (AHI), has found a clean, high performance storage

battery to pair up with solar panels.

It was developed by Dr. Jay Whitacre, a Carnegie Mellon University professor of material sciences

and Aquion Energy’s founder, who started working on the technology in 2007.

Their research proved that the larvae of Tenebrio

molitor, also known as yellow mealworms, can be

fed with polystyrene, one of the most stubborn in

the plastic family, state run China News Service

reported.

The plastic can be fully digested by the work and

degraded into CO2 or nutrition for the worm.

*****



AHI uses a saltwater electrolyte instead of the typical cocktail of caustic chemicals. All of its parts—

saltwater, carbon, manganese, cotton, steel, aluminum and plastic—are non toxic, recyclable and

landfill safe. Its aqueous ion chemistry means that it can never blow up or catch fire, a problem that

can afflict lead and lithium ion batteries when they get old.

At the same time, the AHI meets the strict performance requirements for off grid and on grid

applications. Unlike its lead acid and lithium ion cousins, it can fully discharge without being damaged.

And it tolerates greater temperature extremes.

The smallest unit Aquion sells is an “S-Line” stack, eight AHI batteries placed on top of each other

like Lego blocks. A stack stands nearly a meter tall, weighs around 115 kilo gram and is stationary.

Because it can be completely discharged and recharged 3,000 times without degrading, it will provide

for more than eight years of daily use.

A single S-Line stack contains close to 2.5 kWh of energy. But the stacks are designed to be wired

together in parallel, and a series of stacks paired with solar panels is enough to run a home.

Cost cutting will be crucial if Aquion is to challenge lithium ion technology in the marketplace.

Scientists refrigerate liquid using infrared laser

In a breakthrough, scientists have for the first time used a laser to refrigerate water and other liquids

under real world conditions.

Researchers used an infrared laser to cool water by about two degrees Celsius, becoming the first

to solve a decades old puzzle. The discovery could help industrial users "point cool" tiny areas with a

focused point of light.

To achieve the breakthrough, the team used a material commonly found in commercial lasers but

essentially ran the laser phenomenon in reverse. They illuminated a single microscopic crystal

suspended in water with infrared laser light to excite a unique kind of glow that has slightly more

energy than that amount of light absorbed.

This higher energy glow carries heat away from both the crystal and the water surrounding it.

Regenerating bones through nanoparticles

A recent study by scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru suggests that

‘3D scaffolds’ of graphene composites can be used for bone tissue regeneration, as they mimic the

environment of the bone.

The researchers from the department of Materials Engineering went about ‘strengthening’

Polycaprolactone (PCL) — a biodegradable polymer — by adding graphene, a two dimensional

hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms.

Microprocessors, for instance, might someday use a laser beam

to cool specific components in computer chips to prevent

overheating and enable more efficient information processing.

Researchers chose infrared light for its cooling laser with

biological applications in mind, as visible light could give cells a

damaging "sunburn". They demonstrated that the laser could

refrigerate saline solution and cell culture media that are

commonly used in genetic and molecular research.



The researchers viewed the response of osteoblast cells (bone precursors) to grapheme-based

polymer that was made as a 2-D structure (a plane surface) and a 3D structure with protruding

nanoparticles.

In 2-D scaffolds, the osteoblast cells spread at least 15 percent more on the composite, and were

spread across the sheet in a random pattern, than if one were to use a regular PCL. However, in 3D

scaffolds, the cells have a compact arrangement similar to what is seen inside bone tissue. Also, bone

mineralization (process needed for strengthening the bone) was found to be higher in 3-D scaffolds

as compared with 2-D substrates.

And in these observations, lie the opportunity for research into nanocomposites for medical

sciences.

While the study demonstrates the suitability of using the composite for bone regeneration, the

researchers believe either of the two structures could be used depending on the type of bone tissue

damage.

Scientists develop Graphene mic, which is 32 times more sensitive

Scientists have developed a graphene based microphone nearly 32 times more sensitive than

microphones of standard nickel-based construction.

Researchers at the University of Belgrade in Serbia created a vibrating membrane – the part of a

condenser microphone which converts the sound to a current – from graphene, and were able to

show up to 15 decibels (dB) higher sensitivity compared to a commercial microphone, at frequencies

up to 11 kilohertz (kHz).

The graphene membrane, approximately 60 layers thick, was grown on a nickel foil using chemical

vapour deposition, to ensure consistent quality across all the samples.

Pre-sulfided Sour Gas ShiftMax Catalysts developed by Clariant

Clariant, announced the successful start up and operation of its pre-sulfided ShiftMax® 820S Sour

Gas Shift (SGS) catalyst at a methanol production facility of Shanghai Huayi Energy Chemical Co. Ltd.

The achievement is of particular significance, as it is the first industrial application of the newly

introduced ShiftMax 820S catalyst in China.

Clariant's new generation ShiftMax 820S SGS catalyst employs a proprietary pre-sulfiding process,

which offers many advantages for coal to chemical producers. The new catalyst greatly improves

working conditions by avoiding the use of flammable and toxic agents, such as carbon disulfide or

dimethyl sulfide, during the commissioning phase. Moreover, it reduces the risk of high temperature

excursions and sulfur emissions during plant start up and production.

Though PCL is biodegradable, it is considered too soft

to be used as a bone template. However, graphene has

a strength that is more than 200 times that of steel.

The addition of graphene dioxide was found to have

increased the strength of PCL by 22 percent and its

capacity to resist deformation by 44 percent — enough

to sustain bone growth, while also being biodegradable.



ShiftMax 820S also optimizes processes, as it is typically ready for start up three times faster than

conventional catalysts.

Besides saving time, the higher activity of ShiftMax 820S reduces syngas and energy requirements,

thus allowing more economical, efficient and simplified operations. ShiftMax 820S is part of an

industrially proven catalyst series, which are suitable for all types of coal to chemical applications and

gasification technologies. The catalyst can be used as a simple drop in solution without changing any

plant equipment.

Clariant's partnership with Shanghai Huayi Energy Chemical Co. Ltd began in 2011 with the delivery

of ShiftMax 820 catalysts for an SGS unit. This was followed by catalyst supplies for a second unit in

2012. The catalysts have performed well at both units, with a lifetime exceeding 4 years. In 2015,

two further units were equipped with Clariant catalysts, this time using the new pre sulfided

ShiftMax 820S. Shanghai Huayi Energy Chemical Co. Ltd is the first producer to use the ShiftMax

820S pre sulfided Sour Gas Shift catalyst in China, and has confirmed optimal start up and robust

operation at both units.

NEW PLANT TO STRIP CO2 FROM ATMOSPHERE OPENS IN CANADA

A new pilot plant officially opened in Squamish in British Columbia, Canada, which can

extract CO2 from the surrounding air and turn it into solid pellets that can be stored or

used to produce fuel. The company, Carbon Engineering, was set up by David Keith, a

Harvard University climate researcher

The plant uses huge fans to draw in air over corrugated sheets, through which potassium

hydroxide (KOH) capture solution flows. The CO2 reacts with the KOH to make solution

of potassium carbonate (K2CO3), which is then fed into a piece of equipment called a pellet

reactor. This contains calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2 and the resulting reaction creates solid

calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and regenerates the KOH. These pellets can be stored or sent

for further reactions to release the CO2 for use as a feedstock.

Carbon Engineering expects that information and data gathered from the pilot plant will be

useful. The plant is expected to cost around C$200m (US$155m). The new plant will

include equipment to convert the captured CO2 into fuel and Carbon Engineering expects

to begin producing fuel in 2018. The process involves using electricity to spill water into

hydrogen and oxygen, then reacting the hydrogen with captured CO2.

The plant can deal with emissions that conventional flue gas scrubbing plants cannot, as it

captures the CO2 directly from air. Many industrial processes are not suitable for the

installation of flue gas scrubbers.The fuels made from the captured CO2 would be carbon

neutral and can be tailored for different purposes such as car or aviation fuel.

The pilot plant has already captured

10 metric tonne of CO2. The new fully

commissioned plant will capture 1 to 2

metric tonne per day. The technology can

be quickly and economically scaled up for

industrial application.

Ethanol supply scenario

The Indian sugar industry has contracted to supply 104 crore litres of ethanol between December

2015 and November 2016, compared with 78 crore litres a year before, which will result in a saving

of almost Rs 5,000 crore of foreign exchange for the country, according to Indian Sugar Mills'

Association (ISMA). The savings will be in the form of less oil imports to that extent.

In August, a study by McKinsey had said the country could potentially save as much as $1.7 billion a

year if the proposed 10% blending programme is strictly implemented.

Recently, OMCs have invited expression of interests seeking supplies of 266 crore litres for

implementing the proposed 10% ethanol blending with petrol in 2015-16. The country could achieve

only 1.4% ethanol blending with petrol in the last fiscal, even lower than the 2013-14 level of 2%.

State governments, which are not permitting production of fuel ethanol or delaying excise

permissions or creating impediments on inter state movements by imposing taxes and duties on

ethanol should be convinced to remove these impediments. Improved cash flow for the mills from

the sale of ethanol will not just replace some of the imported petroleum and reduce foreign

exchange outgo but will directly benefit cane farmers.

Government mandate for use of plastic waste in road construction

The Government of India has made it

mandatory for road developers to use

waste plastic along with bituminous mixes

for road construction to overcome the

growing problem of disposal of plastic

waste in India's urban centres.


NEWS ROUND UP – INDIA

Road developers will now have to use waste plastic along with hot mixes for constructing bitumen

roads within 50 km of periphery of any city that has a population of over five lakh. In recently

released guidelines for developers, the government said that in case of non availability of waste

plastic, the developer has to seek the road transport & highways ministry's approval for constructing

only bitumen roads.

India generates 56 lakh metric tonne of plastic waste annually. As per a study by the Central

Pollution Control Board, 60 large cities in India generate over 15,000 metric tonne of plastic waste

every day. Delhi generates close to 7,000 metric tonne of waste every day, of which over 10 percent

is pure plastic but cannot be disposed even by waste to energy plants because of environmental

reasons.

Plastic will add to the longevity of roads by making them water resistant and also increasing the

resistance of roads to change in weather.

ACC ‘s cement brick units

ACC plans to open a series of cement brick making units in partnership with dealers and social

organisations as joint ventures.

While ACC will provide the expertise and technical support, the joint venture partner, which gets

to retain 80 percent of the profit, would own and operate the units. Each plant calls for an

investment of around Rs.2.5 crores.

The proposed brick units have to compulsorily source cement from ACC, which has opened

19 brick units largely in the northern and eastern part of India. It plans to set up another 26 units in

seven months.

Besides the quality, cement bricks absorb less water and come in a consistent size, cutting down on

the number of bricks required.

For instance, to build a 40x60 sq ft room, 567 cement bricks are required, compared with 798 red

bricks. The use of mortar is also lower as the top layer of the cement brick is well laid.

*****

On an average, a cement brick

unit will be able to cater to one

district, though there are

exceptions. With margin of

Rs.one per brick and an average

production of 55 lakh per year,

the payback period is four years,

though there are units which sell

about 2.6 crore bricks a year.

Some of the red brick

manufacturers have also joined

hands with ACC to set up

cement brick units.

Govt. to ease testing norms for drugs approved abroad

India has taken a series of steps aimed at easing rules for tests and clinical trials needed before the

introduction of drugs that have already been approved in other countries.

The move places greater responsibility on the ethics committee that vets clinical trials and is

expected to cut timelines for the launch of new medicines, including biologics. The Central Drug

Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) notified the changes through a November 10 circular.

If a new drug has already been approved outside India after pre clinical and toxicological studies on

animals, they need not be repeated for approvals related to imports or local manufacture unless

specific concerns are raised.

The Investigational New Drug Committee and Drug Technical Advisory Board set up by the health

ministry had recommended that the norms for additional tests be eased.

In another decision, the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has allowed the ethics committee

to add trial sites and investigators after due diligence.

The committee will not need a no objection certificate (NOC) from the DCGI under normal

circumstances. However, the applicant will need to provide information about any additions or

deletions. If NOC is received from the DCGI, it will be deemed to have the concurrence of the

CDSCO, as it comes under the latter's purview.

Through a separate circular, the regulator also allowed companies to submit parallel applications to

the Review Committee on Genetic Manipulation, under the department of biotechnology, and the

DCGI for seeking approval of biologic products such as insulin and monoclonal antibodies.

***** Ban on ketoprofane

Animal Husbandry department of Government of India has banned the use of ketoprofane, an

alternative for diclofenac, which was banned by the Central government some time ago.

Ketoprofane, a non steroid anti inflammatory drug was used in animals extensively for fever, pain

and inflammatory conditions. The department procured 25,730 vials of ketoprofane this year and

distributed it to all the government veterinary hospitals and clinics.

Of the total quantity, 2,900 vials of ketoprofane was distributed in Coimbatore, Erode and the

Nilgiris district. Considering the research and recommendations of scientists, the use of

ketoprofane was banned.

Injectable polio vaccine

The Government of India has launched an injectable polio vaccine – Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV)

– which will be administered in addition to oral polio drops in the routine immunisation programme.

In the first phase, the vaccine would be introduced in six States — Assam, Gujarat, Punjab, Bihar,

Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

IPV injection will be given to children aged below one year along with the third dose of the oral

polio vaccine (OPV) at the routine immunisation sessions free of cost

New blood cancer drug clears first clinical trial

A new blood cancer drug that targets a protein essential for growth of tumour cells has been found

to be effective in patients resistant to current chemotherapies, a worldfirst clinical trial has shown.

New Alzheimers drug

An experimental drug aimed at combating Alzheimer’s disease has the effect of slowing down aging

in animals, a new study has found.

Researchers from the Salk Institute in USA expanded upon their previous development of a drug

candidate, called J147, which takes different tack by targeting Alzheimer’s major risk factor oil age.

The team showed that the drug worked well in a mouse model of aging not typically used in

Alzheimer’s research. *****

Mutant mosquitoes to battle malaria

Two teams of biologists in University of California, USA have created a novel breed of mosquito

that they hope will help eradicate malaria from the world. The mosquito has been engineered to

carry two ingenious genetic modifications.

When a malaria resistant male mosquito mates with a wild female, the gene drive copies both itself

and the resistance genes over from the male chromosome to its female counterpart.

Because almost all the progeny carry the new genes, instead of just 50% as would be expected by

Mendel's laws of genetics, the inserted genes are expected to spread rapidly and take over a wild

population in as few as 10 generations, or a single season.

The anti malarial antibody genes were developed by a group led by Anthony A. James and the gene

drive by Valentino M. Gantz and Ethan Bier of the University of California, San Diego.

Now, the teams plan to refine the mosquitoes' genetics and conduct trials.

In the first-in-human study, researchers from UK

looked at the efficacy of a new inhibitor, ONO/GS-

4059, in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic

leukemia and non-hodgkin lymphoma patients

resistant to current chemotherapies. ONO/GS-4059

targets BTK, a protein essential for the survival and

proliferation of tumour cells.

*****

One is a set of genes that spew out antibodies to

the malarial parasite harboured by the mosquito.

Mosquitoes with these genes are rendered

resistant to the parasite and so cannot spread

malaria.

The other modification is a set of genetic

elements known as a gene drive that should

propel the malaria-resistance genes throughout a

natural mosquito population.

NIKO TO GIVE UP STAKE TO RIL, BP IN NEC-25 GAS BLOCK

Niko Resources of Canada has decided to quit Reliance Industries' gas discovery block NEC-25,

off the Odisha coast, by divesting its 10 per cent stake to the existing partners.

RIL is the operator of the block with 60 per cent interest w.hile BP plc of UK has the remaining

30 percent stake.

Niko's 10 percent interest will be split between RIL and BP in proportion to their equity stake.

Gas discoveries in North-East Coast block NEC-0SN-97/1 (NEC-25) hold recoverable reserves of

1.032 trillion cubic feet.

The Canadian company has been facing cash problems and had even put up for sale its interest in

NEC-25 as well as 10 percent stake in RIL's Krishna Godavari basin oil and gas producing block

KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6. But it hasn't been able to find a buyer.

With the upstream regulator DGH not approving a USD 3.5 billion plan for developing gas

discoveries in block NEC-25 in the absence of its prescribed tests to confirm two of the finds, the

partners opted to do the test on one of the finds and relinquish or give up the other.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the contractor group for the NEC-25 block elected to conduct a

DST for one discovery in the block, Niko said, that relinquishing its interest would eliminate the

company' obligation to fund its share of the DST programme.

RIL had in March 2013 submitted a USD 3.5 billion Integrated Field Development Plan for producing

10 million standard cubic meters per day of gas from the discoveries D-32, D-40, D-9 and D-10 in

NEC-25 by mid-2019.

DGH, the nodal technical arm of Oil Ministry, has however refused to bring the development plan to

block oversight panel, called the Management Committee, for approval disputing commerciality of

D-32 and D-40 in absence of Drill Stem Tests (DSTs) to confirm the finds.

RIL-BP-Niko decided to relinquish D-40 and conduct DST on D-32.

According to RIL, D-32 and D-40 hold an in-place reserve of up to 663 billion cubic feet capable of

producing 170 million standard cubic feet per day.

RIL has so far made eight gas discoveries in the block.

Algae could be green power source

Researchers in Canada have developed a technology that harnesses electrical energy from

blue green algae, that could be used to power cell phones and computers in future.

The team created a power cell that harnesses electrical

energy from the photosynthesis and respiration of blue

green algae. "Both photosynthesis and respiration, which

take place in plants cells, involve electron transfer chains.

By trapping the electrons released by blue-green algae

during photosynthesis and respiration, we can harness the

electrical energy they produce naturally," said

a researcher Muthukumaran Packirisamy.


ENERGY PAGE

Currently, the photosynthetic power cell exists on a small scale, and consists of an anode, cathode

and proton exchange membrane. The algae are placed in the anode chamber. As they undergo

photosynthesis, the cyanobacteria release electrons to the electrode surface. An external load is

connected to the device to extract the electrons and harness power.

Proposed new LNG project in Gujarat

Swan Energy Limited will invest around Rs. 5,600 crore towards setting up of Jafrabad LNG Port

project in Gujarat with one jetty moored Floating, Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU).

The project will be jointly developed and operated by Swan Energy along with its JV partners, Belgian

firm Exmar Marine N V and Gujarat government's Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC).

Exmar will provide technology in floating LNG solutions to the integrated project management

team and will participate as equity partner in the LNG receiving terminal. As a State government's

terminal policy, 30 per cent of the operational capacity will be booked by the state PSU.

Exmar had pioneered the floating regasification solutions in the world by introducing the first FSRU

in 2005. The FSRU design has been finalised with Korea based Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine

Engineering (DSME) Shipyard. The delivery of the first FSRU is expected by December 2018.

*****

Swan Energy holds 51 per cent stake in the JV company, Swan LNG

Pvt Ltd, while Exmar Marine and GSPC hold 38 per cent and

11 percent respectively.

The FSRU receiving terminal will have an initial capacity of 5-million

metric tonne per annum (MTPA).

CHINA STARTS BUILDING SECOND BIGGEST OFFSHORE WIND FARM

China's top wind power company has started building the country's second-largest offshore wind farm, state media said, as China aims to boost the nation's clean power industry and cut dependence on fossil fuels that are contributing to smog. Construction of the project in the eastern coastal Fujian province, which is majority owned by Longyuan Power Group Corp Ltd, will take three years at an estimated cost of 8.2 billion yuan ($1.28 billion), Fujian Development and Reform Commission records show. Local government gave the greenlight for the project last month. The plant on Nanri island off the southeast coast of Fujian province will have installed capacity of 400 megawatts (MW) by 2018, state-run news agency Xinhua said. When complete, it will be second only to two other projects which have planned capacity of 600MW. State-owned and Hong Kong-listed Longyuan, a unit of China Guodian Corp, will invest 5.7 billion yuan, or 70 percent of the total funds, with the rest supplied by Jiangyin Sulong Heat and Power Generating Company. Since last year, China, the world's fifth-biggest offshore wind power producer, has approved 44 offshore wind projects in 11 provinces.
