The department of science and technology of India has carved out a niche area to address various technological aspects related to bio-fuels.The focus of activities under this programme is mainly on technology related applications and system integrations in bio fuels. DOST has initially focused on potential and problems related to the application of Straight Vegetable Oils (SVOs) . The impact on the engine performance due to continuous running on SVO and its performance optimization is currently being studied. Activities leading to make production and usage of bio-fuel such as developing value added chemicals from the waste generated during oil extraction are also being supported to make the entire process of bio-fuel generation remunerative and economically viable. As a result of activities initiated under the programme, a technology demonstration plant for manufacturing non-edible oils used as bio-fuel integrated with DG set of 12.5 KVA rating has been designed and tested. This plant is shortly proposed to be installed at a village near Mysore for field testing. The capacity of the plant is 1 ton/day of Straight Vegetable Oil. You all know, how we maintain and facing Global Warming and Green House today. So that's a nice attitude.
