CSIR-IICT scientists demonstrate green biofuel route from sugarcane waste

Scientists astatine the Hyderabad-based CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) person unveiled a promising advance: transforming sugarcane residue into high-quality biofuel utilizing a greener, much businesslike process that could assistance India’s modulation towards cleaner vigor and amended utilisation of cultivation waste.

The team, led by Alka Kumari on with researchers Sri Chandana and T. Satish and moving nether the guidance of CSIR-IICT manager D. Srinivas Reddy, demonstrated an improved Catalytic Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) process to person sugarcane bagasse — the residue near aft crushing sugarcane — into biofuel.
