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.
