ENERGY
Current
Activities of CESDAC in the field of energy focuses on pathways to energy
conservation and energy efficiency. Fundamental aspects of fuel switching
that are being investigated include:-
- Socio-economic aspects of
preferential treatment for renewable energy;
- Potential of
transition to Next-Generation Technologies e.g., non-food feedstock that
includes agricultural, municipal, and forestry wastes into the
production of either ethanol or biodiesel on the long-term basis;
- Scope of the combination of
cellulosic biomass resources and "next-generation" biofuel
conversion technologies using enzymes; and
- More
oil-efficient technologies and new energy sources such as synthetic diesel
production via gasification/Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
