TALK OF THE MONTH

NEED FOR MASSIVE R&D EFFORTS IN WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste generation

According to a World Bank report,Urban India generated around 1,09,589 metric tonne of municipal solid waste per day in 2015 and this will increase to 3,76,639 metric tonne per day in 2025.

In Mumbai, two of three municipal dumps had to be shut down, since they were loaded with over capacity and a third in Deonar may run out of space in 2016.

According to the Central Pollution Control Board, the amount of plastic waste generated across

60 Indian cities in India is around 15,342 metric tonne per day.

Associated Chambers of Commerce of India (Assocham) estimates that in just two years, India‘s electronic

waste generation will rise by a third to touch 30 lakh metric tonne by 2018, up from about 18 lakh metric tonne currently.

Over 70 percent of the total e-waste come from industries.

Computer equipment accounts for almost 70 percent of e-waste material, followed by telecommunication equipment (12 percent), electrical equipment (8 percent) and medical equipment (7 percent).

Only 2.5 percent of India‘s e-waste gets recycled .

Over 95 percent of e-waste generated is managed by the unorganised sector and scrap dealers. Most of the

e-waste is handled in the most unscientific way by scrap dealers, who may be inadvertently handling radioactive material.

Need for technology initiatives

Several technologies have been deployed for extraction of high value products from the wastes such as

irradiation, solvent extraction, enzyme assisted extraction and heat treatment. However, there exists concern over safety aspects of irradiation based systems, low efficiency of solvent based systems and possible

pyrolysis in heat treatment process.

Prime Minister‘s much publicized Clean Indian Campaign has been widely welcomed in the country.

However, Clean India Programme are yet to make significant impact at the ground level. This is largely due to the fact that stress has been so far largely on collection of waste material and not

so much on profilitable utilization of waste material or treatment and disposal of waste material in an eco friendly manner. It appears that India is yet to realize that waste is potential source of profit.

Obviously, massive research and development efforts have to be initiated in the country for utilization of

waste material, in a manner appropriate to the prevailing condition in India.

Electronic waste

Electronic waste often has high quantities of toxic substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, plastic, barium, beryllium, and carcinogens such as

carbon black and heavy metals that can leach into the soil and contaminate ground water.


NEED FOR MASSIVE R&D EFFORTS IN WASTE MANAGEMENT

New technologies are needed for reliable extraction, separation and transformation of chemicals and

other valuable materials from biowastes.

When water and wastewater systems are developed in a comprehensive manner, it is possible to

recover valuable metals and other materials and secure availability of clean water. Cleaning and

treatment processes can also be linked to energy production.

Microwave technology has emerged as one of the important ones for biowaste valorisation due to its

flexibility and energy efficient heating systems that allow continuous processing. Microwaves also

promote novel reaction pathways and accelerate the rate of chemical reactions.

Advances in genomics have now enabled high performance throughput tools to select strains that

catalyse reactions of choice.

Synthesis gas / methanol from sewage sludge

Projects have been set up abroad for the production of methanol from sewage sludge.

India should certainly look into the feasibility of producing methanol from waste. This is a great project

opportunity, as India imports more than 1.5 million metric tonne of methanol per annum and India faces

shortage of natural gas, which can be the feedstock for methanol.

A plant operates in Canada which converts municipal solid waste (MSW) into methanol. The plant has

capacity to produce 38 million litres of methanol per annum.

There are possibilities of producing several other chemicals like synthesis gas / ammonia gas from

municipal solid waste.

Need for change in mind set

Lot of work has taken place abroad in generating chemicals and polymers from carbon dioxide. Inspite

of India being a huge generator of CO2 gas, advanced projects for production of value added chemicals

from carbon dioxide have not yet been planned and implemented in India.

CO2 can be used in the production of number of valuable products that include the following

* Polycarbonate * Dimethyl carbonate

* Polypropylene carbonate * Carbon dioxide as refrigerant

* Development of algae for production of bio diesel

In India, waste treatment projects have mainly

been implemented by legal necessity.

Now, Indian project promoters should modify

their way of thinking ,so that they would be able

to regard waste disposal sites and purification

plants as sources of raw materials and energy,

which should be converted to profit centres.

SHOULD INDIA GO AHEAD WITH SHALE GAS EXPLORATION ?

WILL IT BE WASTED EFFORT ?

China is taking steps to exploit the shale gas resource. China plans to produce 6.5 billion cubic meter of

shale gas by 2016, 15 billion cubic meter by 2017 and more than 30 billion cubic meter by 2020.

While the examples of the initiatives of the above countries are there, India has to approach shale gas

exploration issues with great caution, considering the ground realities in the country, where water

shortage is becoming increasingly evident. Blind follow up of the approach of the other countries could

prove to be counterproductive for India.

Shales are fine grained sedimentary rocks that can be rich resources of petroleum and natural

gas. Shale gas is the natural gas that is trapped within shale formations.

Government of India had announced policy guidelines on October 14, 2013, whereby national oil

companies ONGC and OIL were to take up shale gas and oil exploration activities in their

nominated blocks.

While the ultimate success of shale gas exploration efforts in India remains to be seen from the

point of view of technological and economic feasibility, the fact remains that very large quantity of

water has to be injected for shale gas exploration. Such water will have to be pumped from

running river or ground water sources. Depletion of ground water resources can be a scary

situation.

Given the fact that several parts of India are already suffering from severe water scarcity due to

frequent drought like situation and ―water war‖ between the states are becoming very frequent,

the question is whether India should go ahead with shale gas exploration at all that would require

huge quantity of fresh water and result in large quantity of used waste water that would be

chemically contaminated.

Should India spend energy, time, efforts and resources in what appears to be a negative project ?

Global trend

Though USA has been the forerunner in shale gas

exploration in the world, shale gas will not be uniquely

American phenomenon. There is similar geology in

several countries around the world.

UK parliament recently has voted narrowly to allow

fracking to extract shale gas under the country‘s national

parks and certain other protected sites. The new

legislation, which permits drilling at least 1,200 meter

below the surface in national parks, was approved by

298 votes to 261.


SHOULD INDIA GO AHEAD WITH SHALE GAS EXPLORATION ? WILL IT BE WASTED EFFORT ?

Government of India‘s policy

Government of India has allowed Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India (ONGC) and Oil India

Limited (OIL) the right to explore shale gas and oil in their nominated blocks. While ONGC will take up

175 blocks, Oil India will do it in 15 blocks in three assessment phases.

According to the policy, ONGC will get 50 blocks in the first phase, another 75 blocks in the second

and 50 blocks in the third phase. Oil India would take up five blocks each in all three phases.

ONGC‘s experience so far

ONGC signed a memorandum of understanding with ConocoPhillips, USA, to undertake joint studies of

the four basins: Cambay, Krishna Godavari, Cauvery and Damodar.

Based on the studies, a shale gas pilot drilling programme was firmed up in the Broach depression area

of Cambay Basin in technical collaboration with Conoco.

The drilling of Jambusar-55 (well in the Gujarat block), the first well under the pilot programme has

started. As on November 2015, the well has been drilled to a depth of 1,735 metre and further drilling

is in progress.

India‘s MoU with USA for shale gas cooperation

India and USA signed memorandum of understanding for shale gas cooperation during the recent visit

of president Barack Obama to India.

According to the MoU signed by the two countries, the US will help India in key areas like assessment of

shale gas reserves, technical studies to start exploration and training of personnel.

What benefit can shale gas provide for India ?

The US EIA believes that India‘s technically recoverable shale gas reserves are about 95 trillion cubic feet

(tcf).

Plans of ONGC

ONGC has sought permission for drilling eleven exploratory

wells for shale oil/shale gas in Cambay basin at Mehsana,

Ahmedabad and Bharuch districts of Gujarat, one well in

Cauvery basin at Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu and five wells

in KG Basin at East and West Godavari districts of

Andhra Pradesh, with total estimated investment of around

Rs.700 crore.

ONGC will have to drill at least one well (two in blocks

having area more than 200 sq km) for assessment of shale gas

and oil in each of these blocks.



To give an idea, 95 tcf is enough to run India‘s gas fired power stations for at least 20 years at current

consumption rates.

Critical factors relating to shale gas exploration

Shale gas exploration requires specialized technology for horizontal drilling and hydro fracturing.

In hydraulic fracturing or fracking, a mixture of water, sand and chemicals have to be injected into shale

formations to release shale gas/oil.

The fracked oil wells generate about half of a barrel of wastewater for each barrel of oil produced.

Fresh water use and wastewater production are two of the chief environmental concerns about

hydraulic fracturing.

The amount of water needed depends on the length of the well, the number of fracturing operations per

well and the properties of the target rock formation. Drilling a single well may require around 30

million litre of water and a large number of wells have to fracked to produce adequate quantity of shale

gas to justify the investment made and get reasonable rate of return.

Due to the huge demand for fresh water, hydraulic fracturing can pose serious risks to local water

supplies, especially in drought prone regions.

Waste water that is contaminated with chemicals and impurities is often pumped back into the Earth

after a frack is complete.

Finding ways to treat and dispose of or recycle the large volume of chemical laden flow back waste

water and brine laden with high level of contaminants that is produced over the lifetime of gas well,

poses serious challenges. Expertise in treating and recycling used water is critical for doing shale gas

exploration. Appropriate technology to treat the chemically contaminated waste water generated due

to fracking is yet to be adequately developed and demonstrated.

Shale gas production requires horizontal drilling which is expensive. Drilling cost varies with the

thickness of rock formation. If the rock is too thick, the cost economics of shale gas may

become adverse.

Shale gas and oil extraction requires

enormous quantity of water to be

injected at high pressure to break the

shale rock formations and release the

embedded gas and oil in a process that

is called hydraulic fracturing or

―fracking‖.

The quality of the fresh water that is

used for injection is very much

different from the waste water that

would arise and come out after the

fracking.



Technology development efforts

Water free extraction techniques that utilise shock waves, acidisation which opens tiny pores in rocks,

and injection of carbon dioxide into the shale rock are being developed.

But, such technologies have not been commercially established so far.

Environmental issues and protest in USA

In USA, environmentalists have been critical with regard to fracking carried out for the production of

shale gas / oil. The activities have been met with growing amount of public criticism. The primary

concern are very real issues surrounding land use, huge requirement of fresh water, contaminated

waste water and their disposal, emissions and seismic activity.

Oklahoma, home to the 27.5 Tcf Woodford shale, has seen its seismic activity go through the roof since

2008. The increase is associated with pumping of waste water into earth. Between 2006 and 2012,

Oklahoma re injected more than one billion barrels of wastewater annually.

And it is not just Oklahoma – earthquake incidence is up in fracking territory across the central and

eastern United States, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The environmental issues have come full circle in Denton, Texas in USA after a controversial ban on the

drilling activity entered into effect. Denton‘s ban prohibits drilling within the city limits about 270 wells

and joins other local referendums passed in California, Colorado, Ohio and New York.

Indian water resources

Average annual precipitation 4000 BCM

Avg. precipitation during monsoon (June to Sept) 3000 BCM

Natural runoff 1986.5 BCM

Estimated utilizable surface water resources 690 BCM

Total utilizable ground water resources 433 BCM

Total annual utilizable water resources 1123 BCM

BCM - Billion cubic meter

Energy companies in USA used nearly

250 billion gallons of water to extract shale gas and oil

from hydraulically fractured wells in the US between 2005

and 2014, a new study finds. During the same period, the

fracked wells generated about 210 billion gallons of waste

water.

It is reported that California, with a long coastline, is

experiencing an unprecedented drought that is forcing

families to flee those very areas where shale reserves are

most found.



It has to be seen that average annual potential of `utilisable‘ quantity of water in the country is only

1,123 billion cubic meter (BCM), as given above.

India has 18% of the world‘s population; but it has 4% of water resources of the world.

Annual per capita availability of water which was 6,042 cubic meter in the year 1947, decreased to

1,816 cubic meter in 2001 and further decreased to 1,545 cubic meter in 2011.

It is estimated that annual per capita availability of water will further reduce to 1,340 cubic meter by

2025 and to 1,140 cubic meter by the year 2050.

Should India go for shale gas exploration ?

In USA, there have been many protests against shale gas exploration including water scarcity and seismic

imbalance due to reinjecting large quantity of waste water into the Earth, sub soil disturbance etc.

Such issues are bound to arise in India, with much more serious implications, if India were to proceed

with shale gas exploration.

Dense population of India, the frequent scarcity of water due to drought conditions and likely increase

in demand for water for irrigation and drinking purposes clearly highlight the fact that diversification of

scarce water resources for shale gas exploration are bound to invite huge protest in the country.

No doubt, India is endowed with a rich network of rivers but India suffers from a scarcity of fresh water

because of high demand for irrigation and an even more rapid increase in industrial and domestic needs.

Further, India faces water stress where shale gas reserves are most likely to be found, which are the

Cambay, Gondwana and Krishna-Godavari basins, as well as the Indo-Gangetic plain.

In India, though the government owns what is below the surface, landowners have no incentive to lease

out their holdings. Instead, land will have to be acquired for fracking, but land acquisition has become an

awfully contentious issue in India.

In recent times, we have seen that even the natural gas pipeline project in Tamil Nadu and other states

have been objected by the local population due to land acquisition and safety issues. Such objection has

resulted in the projects getting inordinately delayed. Similarly, coal bed methane project in Tamil Nadu

has also been severely criticized.

It is evident that it is a calculated risk for India to put so much effort in shale gas exploration, since the

conditions in the country are not suitable and appropriate for taking up shale gas production in a big

way.

There is no point in India going for shale gas exploration, when it is crystal clear that the project cannot

be implemented against public protest and in violation of ecological interests.

Government of India should take a firm and pragmatic decision not to proceed with shale gas project in

the country.


IMPORT OF SHALE GAS FROM USA TO NORWAY BY INEOS

A NEW TREND

Ineos has ordered eight Dragon-class ships leased from Evergas (Copenhagen). Ineos initially ordered all

eight with the same capacity but subsequently changed the order to make four of them even larger,

32,000 cu meters.

The eight ships will allow Ineos to import 1.8 million metric tonne per year of ethane from the United

States at full capacity and eventually create a ―virtual pipeline‖ across the Atlantic to Europe from

Sunoco‘s new 300 mile Mariner East gas pipeline from the Marcellus Shale in western Pennsylvania via

the Marcus Hook deepwater terminal, near Philadelphia.

Other customers will deploy the four 27,500 cu meter vessels that Ineos will not use.

Use of the shale gas

The arrival of US ethane at Grangemouth will provide boost to Ineos‘s petrochemical operations in

Europe.

At Rafnes, Ineos will crack the ethane to produce ethylene for the company‘s ethylene dichloride and

polyethylene plants at the site and to support Ineos‘s exports of about 200,000 metric tonne per year of

ethylene from Rafnes, mostly to the company‘s terminal at Antwerp.

Ineos owns two gas crackers at the Grangemouth site with combined capacity for 750,000 metric tonne

per year of ethylene. The smaller unit, with a capacity of 300,000 metric tonne per year, has not

operated for several years because of a lack of feedstock, and the larger facility, a 450,000 metric tonne

per year plant, has been running at only 60% of capacity, limiting downstream production.

Ineos reached a historic milestone on 23 March,2016 ,when the JS Ineos Intrepid, the largest multigas

carrier, arrived at the company‘s petrochemical complex at Rafnes, Norway, carrying the first

ethane (shale gas) export shipment from the United States to Europe.

The occasion represented the culmination of a $2-billion investment by Ineos.

The ethane will feed Ineos‘s 620,000-metric tonne per year ethylene plant at Rafnes, which

currently consumes North Sea gas, supplies of which are dwindling.

Shipment from USA

Ineos‘s shipments from the US are

underpinned by a 15-year contract with Range

Resources (Fort Worth, TX) and Consol

Energy (Canonsburg, PA). These two

companies are actively drilling in the Marcellus

Shale. Ineos says it has ―several‖ other

contracts with undisclosed ethane suppliers.


IMPORT OF SHALE GAS FROM USA TO NORWAY BY INEOS - A NEW TREND

Gas imported from the United States will allow the company to run the two Grangemouth steam

crackers at full capacity and may also lead to an expansion of ethylene production at the site.

Ineos has the capacity to produce a combined 3 million metric tonne per year of ethylene in Europe and

buys an additional 1 million metric tonne per year to feed the company‘s downstream facilities.

In addition to the Rafnes and Grangemouth crackers, it owns a 1.1 million metric tonne per year

ethylene plant at Cologne and is a joint venture partner with Total in the Lavéra, France, cracker.

Ineos may sell additional quantities of US ethane to other European customers.

Agreement with Shell and ExxonMobil

Ineos recently agreed with ExxonMobil Chemical and Shell Chemicals to supply feedstock to those

companies‘ 830,000 metric tonne per year ethylene plant at Mossmorran, UK, to supplement North Sea

gas feedstock from mid 2017.

The fourth, at Stenungsund, Sweden, is owned by Borealis, which also has a contract in place to import

ethane from the United States.

WATER SCARCITY FORCES PARTIAL SHUT DOWN

AT MANGALORE REFINERY

In view of the acute water scarcity in Mangaluru, Dakshina Kannada district administration in

Karnataka state has decided to stop water supply to industries in and around Mangaluru.

Following this, Mangalore Refinery

and Petrochemicals ltd (MRPL) has

announced a partial shutdown.

Some units are running at reduced

capacity, without disrupting fuel

production and supplies to the

extent possible.

MRPL is now looking at sequential

stoppage of process units that will

have minimal impact for some time.

The company is receiving domestic

sewage and taking its own treated

effluent for use in refinery. These

two sources have helped get some

amount of water for the refinery.


WHAT STRATEGY FOR CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN CHINA ? Swaminathan Venkataraman, Director, Nandini Consultancy (S) Pte Ltd, Singapore

E-mail:[email protected]

Demand capacity mismatch

In the case of several chemical products, the present installed capacity in China is not matched by the

present market demand in China and rest of the world.

It is estimated that of around 710 million metric tonne of refining company, atleast 100 million metric

tonne may have outdated technology or excess capacity or both. Similar is the case with regard to

several other industries such as phosphate fertiliser industry , rubber industry etc. It is well known that

the methanol overcapacity in China is severe.

However, the fact remains that the demand for the chemical products are steadily going up all over

the world in tune with the over all industrial and economic growth and China‘s capacity is likely to

catch up with the global demand in the coming years. In view of the large capacity already built in China,

the capacity build up in other parts of the world may slow down to some extent, since no producer in

the world can afford to ignore the capacity build up in China, in the present pattern of globalised

chemical industry.

The problems for the investors who has invested in building huge capacity in China is as to whether

they can afford to wait till such period that the demand in China and in the rest of the global market

would increase to level of the capacity already built in China.

Is critical reference to China by observers justified ?

Obviously, Government of China and chemical industry in China are well aware of the overcapacity

situation and the serious issues associated with it.

Unmindful of the fact that several observers have been critical

of China for creating such large capacities without linking

capacity build up efforts to the market demand and growth,

Government of China seems to be adopting a cautious and

balanced approach to the present surplus capacity scenario,

though the individual industrial units may have concern and

face some problems due to such scenario.

Chinese government knows that the overcapacity build up in

the past has been a deliberate strategy, that was necessary at

that time to make the Chinese chemical industry achieve a big

leap forward. Capacity creation was encouraged that gave

Chinese project promoters opportunities to try new ideas,

seek collaboration from abroad and even experiment with

technologies. Overall, all said and done, such strategies have

certainly paid rich dividends to Chinese chemical industry.

Having built cross section of chemical and allied industries at a high pace for around 20 years that

has not been seen in human history, China now faces the issue of over capacity creation in number

of sector in chemical industry.


WHAT STRATEGY FOR CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN CHINA ?

Process of stabilization

Government of China has said that the over all economy has slowed down in the 1st quarter of 2016.

At the same time, it has pointed out that such decline in growth is only as per expectation and it is an

inevitable trend when the overall economy would be undergoing the process of stabilisation. This is in

line with government‘s target .Though there was a decline in growth compared to the earlier trend,

China‘s GDP grew 6.7% year on year to reach 15.9 trillion yuan ($2.4 trillion), data released by the

National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed.

This aspect has been highlighted with regard to several key indicators which have showed the sign of

stabilization.

In the recent times, given the fact that several chemical and allied products have surplus capacity in

China, Government of China and chemical industry in China have adopted some pragmatic and

appropriate approach that are, perhaps, inevitable, by closing down the units that have uneconomic

capacity or those which adopt out dated technology or those of the units which have uncompetitive

consumption of raw material and utility and those units causing environmental hazards.

Government of China has revised number of guidelines for setting up new units and operation of the

existing units.

Such measures have resulted in stabilization of the growth to realistic level as well as optimization of

the over all performance of the Chinese chemical industry, that would considerably improve its

competitiveness in the global market and prove advantageous in the long run.

It is surprising that several observers have failed to note such positive aspects in the functioning of

the Chinese chemical industry, with regard to the efforts towards improvement of product quality, eco

friendliness and curtailing of production cost.

The observers seem to have failed to note that the overall capacity scenario are now being tailored in

pragmatic manner without creating undue alarm or spreading wrong signals.

At the same time, chemical industry In China should also examine the feasibility of shifting some of the

production facilities that represent overcapacity to other developing countries in the world, where

there is need for such capacity

For example, in the recent past, automobile industry players in USA, Europe , Japan and South Korea

have adopted such strategy very well, shifting the manufacturing facilities to countries like India, where

there is unmet demand for automobiles and accessories.

Need for change in mind set

There is evidence that the present emphasis on supply chain reform is positioning

the Chinese chemical industry in steady growth path, appropriate to the future

needs of China and the rest of the world. Chinese economic model, traditionally

based on manufacturing, investments and exports, is currently transitioning

towards a model focused on domestic consumption, services and innovation.Such

steps that would lead to reduce excess capacity will support China‘s economic and

industrial transition to a higher plane.


WHAT STRATEGY FOR CHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN CHINA ?

Chemical industry in China should strive to set up joint ventures abroad in developing countries with

equity participation by Chinese companies, apart from providing technology and equipment to the joint

venture units. On the other hand, it appears that the Chinese chemical industry have been largely

remaining as recipients of technology, engineering practices and joint venture proposals from abroad

until recently.

Obviously, change in the mind set is required amongst Chinese chemical industry players to venture

into joint venture projects in different countries with varying business cultures.

In the last few years, technology practices in China have considerably advanced and perspective about

the standards of Chinese technology have also undergone sea change for the better in countries like

Asia, Africa and Latin America.

China is now in a good position to change it‘s so called disadvantage over surplus capacity in China to

advantageous situation by shifting over capacity facilities to other regions that need such capacity.

It would be win win situation both for chemical industry in China and chemical project promoters in

other developing countries.

During the Paris Climate Conference (COP 21), Government of India announced number of

initiatives such as increasing the target for renewable energy capacity addition to 175 GW by 2022.

According to Government claims, the renewable power target of

175 GW by 2022 will result in abatement of 326.22 million metric tonne of CO2 equivalent

per year.

India‘s target is challenging, considering the past track record and complex issues involved.

However, the recent initiatives and performance in 2015-16 give hope.

Performance of selected wind turbine companies

(Period: April 2013 to March 2016)

Gamesa India has emerged the top wind turbine seller in India in the year

2015-16, exceeding Suzlon and also crossing the 1 GW-mark for the first time.

Gamesa India sold wind turbines worth 1,003 MW in the year 2015-16, up from 687 MW in the

previous year, even as the traditional market leader, Suzlon, more than doubled its sales to 900 MW.

But the fastest growth was recorded by Inox Wind, whose sales increased to 790 MW from 275 MW

in 2014-15.

Solar power

Solar industry brought in 3,019 MW to the grid against the target of 2,000 MW during the fiscal that

ended on March 31, 2016.

As against negligible level as on March 2010, the capacity growth of solar power has been driven by the

significant improvement in the cost competitiveness of solar energy over the last two to three years;

strong policy support from the Government of India under its National Solar Mission (NSM) and from

several states through state specific solar energy policies; and regulatory support in the form of

Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) norms.

Rajasthan and Gujarat are ahead of other States in solar power capacity addition, with each

commissioning more than 1,000 MW of projects in April 2015 to March 2016.

Other states that are making significant progress include Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Andhra

Pradesh.

Bio power

Bio Power (biomass and gasification and bagasse cogeneration) met the capacity addition target of

Rooftop solar (GW), 40

Ground mounted solar power projects

(GW), 60




This could be a difficult exercise, particularly considering the present ground realities of public protest

against acquisition of agriculture or other land for industrial purposes

Given the fact that the land acquisition has become a vexed issue in the country, Government of India

should consider utilization of wasteland to the maximum extent for setting up solar power projects.

Prospects for rooftop solar power projects

The rooftop solar power projects may be built in the following segments.

Commercial buildings / Government buildings / Hospitals / Institutional buildings / Residential buildings

and others.

For successful implementation of rooftop solar power project, the requirements are flat, shadow free

area (preferably south facing) with appropriate shape of the roof, adequate solar radiation and suitable

weather conditions.

The ground reality is that several traditional and conventional buildings in India do not have the required

specifications to install roof top solar power projects and therefore, the roof top power projects may

have to be largely implemented in new constructions, where appropriate provisions would be made at

the design stage itself.

A 1 kW rooftop system generally requires 12 sq. metre of flat, shadow free area (preferably south

facing). Actual sizing, however, depends also on local factors of solar radiation and weather conditions

and shape of the roof.

Target for unemployed graduates

There is lack of clarity as to how unemployed graduates can set up projects of 20 GW capacity, as they

have never been employed, lack industrial exposure and particularly with regard to solar projects and

may also lack investment capability.

Challenging target for wind power

Requirements to achieve the target via onshore wind power projects by 2022-23

Requirement during the period 2016-17 to 2022-23 Requirement per annum

Investment for 33.256 GW Around Rs. 2,32,792 crore Around Rs. 33256 crore

Land area for additional

onshore wind power project Around 8,31,400 acre Around 118,771 acre

Additional wind power capacity to be built per annum between 2016-17 and 2022-23: ~4.75 GW

It is technically possible to build 4.75 GW of onshore wind capacity every year, provided the

Government would be able to ensure that land acquisition for wind power projects would be facilitated

by appropriate policy initiatives and also take measures to ensure that evacuation of wind power would

be done optimally to achieve highest utilization.




Envisaged target for April 2016 to March 2017

India's renewable energy sector could add 8.8 GW of new capacity in 2016-17, on the back of a record

capacity addition of 6.937 GW in 2015-2016.

The new renewable capacities in 2015-16 were chiefly driven by significant increases in solar and wind

capacity.

However, there may be a decline in new capacity addition in the wind sector due to a substantial

reduction in preferential tariff for new wind energy projects to be commissioned in some states and a

slowdown in the signing of fresh PPAs and delays in payments by the state-owned utility in several

states.

Several renewable energy firms — including solar, wind, small hydro and biofuel based units have been

hit by payment delays of up to six months. The problem is acute in states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra

and Tamil Nadu and the debt servicing ability of the renewable developers in these states are hampered.

To provide relief to the renewable energy developers and shield them from delays in payment by

distressed state owned utilities, two state run lenders — Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency

(Ireda) and PTC India Financial Services (PFS) — have offered to pay these producers a part of the

outstanding amount to address their liquidity constraints.

It is reported that the assistance under the Ireda scheme will be subject to a cap of Rs.20 crore per

developer and the lenders will charge an interest equal to the highest prevailing rate for the sector plus

0.5%. Similar facilities are offered by PFS as well.

Where does India go from here ?

Government of India has fixed the capacity target of 175 GW by 2022, splitting it into solar, wind, small

hydro, biomass and waste to power.

Possibility of achieving additional target of 132.273 GW between 2016-17 and 2022-23 (7 years) will

depend entirely on how efficiently number of complex issues and challenges are tackled.

The biggest challenge to achieve renewable energy target, other than land acquisition issues and huge

investment requirement, lies in lack of adequate grid infrastructure.

Target of 100 GW for solar energy and 60 GW for wind energy, solar and wind being intermittent

sources, requires huge investments in the power grid infrastructure for transmission, storage, supply and

demand management. Lack of timely up gradation of grid infrastructure would result in curtailing of

power in areas of high renewable concentration. Up gradation of grid infrastructure in line with the new

targets is a key challenge to be tackled for achieving the targets.

Alongside up gradation, improvement of grid quality is also necessary to prepare for stability challenges

posed by the sudden spikes and falls.




Though the efforts and accomplishments in 2015-16 are certainly laudable, to attain the envisaged target

for 2022 much more needs to be done, requiring efforts multiple times higher than efforts taken in

2015-16.

Appropriate policy measures addressing issues in a structured and phased manner from time to time are

vital to sustain the renewable energy sector‘s momentum.

Essential need to win any race is not only to start well but keep on doing well till the objective is

attained. Keeping the momentum going is particularly challenging in a complex country like India and one

is sure that the Prime Minister is aware of this when he made the promise to COP21, surprising even

his pledged admirers.

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

PLUS 2 STUDENTS NEED CAUTION

WHILE OPTING FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Objective of the study :

The study was conducted with the objective of providing appropriate guidance to plus two students in

choice of engineering course for higher studies.

Methodology of study :

The study was conducted by informal discussions with cross section of fresh engineers who have

recently passed out, plus two students, faculty members and parents.

Findings of the study and guidelines to plus two students :

There are more than 550 engineering colleges with more than two lakh seats in Tamil Nadu alone.

There are more number of polytechnics offering diploma course in Tamil Nadu. Similar is the situation

in almost all states all over the country, where many engineering colleges and polytechnics have been

promoted in recent years.

Capacity expansion and quality decline

Obviously, capacity for engineering education has been built in Tamil Nadu and all over India much more

than what is needed. Many more engineers pass out every year than needed by the employers in

industries, services sector etc

With such indiscriminate quantitative expansion, which are often termed as ridiculous, overall quality of

engineering education has suffered due to lack of experienced faculty members in adequate number,

poor facilities and lack of adequate check and control in admission of students. Today, any student can

get admission for engineering course, if he has the minimum qualification and money power.

Perhaps, such over capacity in engineering

education has happened, since All India Council of

Technical Education has been liberally sanctioning

permission for many new engineering colleges

year after year, without adequate study on the

need and consultation with the employers. It may

also be seen that almost all engineering colleges

set up in recent years are by private organisations

and quite a number of them are owned by

politicians, business houses and religious bodies.

Nandini Consultancy Centre,(www.nandinichemical.com) a Chemical engineering consultancy

organisation based in Chennai and Singapore, has conducted a study on state of engineering

education , job prospects for passed out engineers and the understanding level of plus two students

on engineering course.



PLUS 2 STUDENTS NEED CAUTION WHILE OPTING FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION

It is evident that available jobs for fresh engineers by way of vacancies arising in industries and

establishments due to retirement, death in harness and new job creation, can absorb only less than half

the number of fresh engineers passing out every year in the state. Further, with the prevailing view of

several educationists and industrial managements in recent time that more than half the number of fresh

engineers passing out are really unemployable for the jobs intended for engineers, the job scenario for

fresh engineers has become precarious.

Impressive opportunities only for best of students

In the immediate coming years, engineering students passing out with above average marks

(say 70 percent plus) that may constitute around 40% of the passed out students, will get reasonably

good jobs with good pay packets.

Even amongst them, several persons will get jobs not in core engineering fields where there would be

opportunities to achieve engineering excellence but only in services sector like software, where even

graduates in other disciplines such as science graduates may also some times well fit in.

The remaining fresh engineers will have to accept under employment or jobs in unrelated areas or even

remain unemployed for unacceptably long time.

Plus 2 students should exercise caution

With the mushrooming of engineering colleges and polytechnics, there appear to be considerable

competition, particularly among the recently started engineering colleges, to attract students.

Like business enterprises, engineering colleges adopt many promotional schemes and sometime, even

seek the services of middlemen (brokers) on commission basis, to enlist the students.

Impressed by the huge advertisement blitz and having not much knowledge and understanding about the

other study options available, many students from middle and lower income group opt to choose

engineering studies, without proper evaluation of their own career interests and the individual

suitability.

A number of students from poor families borrow heavily to pay for the engineering education and fall

into debt trap. Their problems become compounded when they fail to get well paid jobs as per their

expectations.

Schools should appraise the students

It is necessary that such ground realities should be explained to the students at plus two level and their

parents, who have to choose the course for higher studies, amongst the various options open to them.

Unfortunately, most of the schools do not conduct special programmes to appraise the students

at plus 2 level about the higher study options available.

Schools must invite experts from different fields to talk to the students on the educational

opportunities, answer the questions of the students, clear their doubts and provide clarification in simple

terms and style. Non government organisations may also take appropriate initiatives.


PLUS 2 STUDENTS NEED CAUTION WHILE OPTING FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION

Do not drive square peg in round hole

Engineering education is now well developed with ever growing multiple disciplines, offering great

opportunities. However , the students opting for engineering education must have the necessary

aptitude, attributes and understanding to reap the benefits.

In the present context, where supply level of fresh engineers far exceed the demand level, cautious

approach is called for by students after plus 2 studies, based on their aptitude, with regard to choice of

course for higher education amongst the various available options, which are many.

Simply opting for engineering education without careful analysis may end up as driving square peg in a

round hole.

“UNEMPLOYABLE ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT GRADUATES” FINDINGS OF THE STUDY BY ASSOCHAM

India has at least 5,500 business schools in operation now, excluding unapproved institutes.

Around 220 of them closed down in the last two years in cities such as Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata,

Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Dehradun, etc. Another 120 are expected to wind up

in 2016.

Due to low education quality, coupled with economic slowdown from 2014 to 2016, campus

recruitments have gone down by 45 per cent.

In 2015-16, these schools offered a total of 5.20 lakh seats in MBA courses, compared with 3.60 lakh

in 2011-12.

Expressing concern over the low standards of these business schools, many of whom are not

properly regulated, a study by the Assocham Education Committee (AEC) noted that only

7 percent of management graduates are employable in India,.

―There are more seats than takers in b-schools. This is not surprising in view of the poor placement

records of passouts,‖ says Assocham.

Of the 15 lakh engineering graduates India produces every year, 20 to 30 percent do not find jobs and

many get into jobs well below their technical qualifications.

Indian economy is not growing at the same rate as the number of engineers.

It is only the IT sector that absorbs engineers in large numbers, between 50 to 75 percent.

About 97 percent of engineers aspire for a job in IT and core engineering. However, only

18.43 percent are employable in IT and 7.49 percent in core engineering, the study said.

The standard of the faculty is another problem, as few talented people enter the teaching profession.

The entire ecosystem needs to be revamped, the study said.

Even the quality of current IIM/IIT students compared to those in the last 15 years has come down

due to the poor quality of school education, it said.

WORLD‘S LARGEST PUBLICLY TRADED

OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCERS IN 2016

Gazprom:

Privatised in 1993, Russia‘s Gazprom Group is the largest publicly traded energy producer in the world

with 8.38 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day of production.

Gazprom is known primarily as a natural gas producer, accounting for nearly 13% of the world‘s total

production. Gazprom produces more natural gas than any other country except the US.

While Gazprom‘s production is 86% natural gas, its Gazprom Neft subsidiary (one of many of Gazprom

subsidiaries) is the company‘s primary oil production arm. Gazprom Neft alone would rank among the

world‘s top 25 oil producers.

Rosneft:

Rosneft ,is one of the world‘s largest publicly traded oil companies. Rosneft‘s most recently published

figures show 5.07 million BOE per day of production, of which 81% was oil. Rosneft produces 40% of

Russia‘s oil—more than any other country save Saudi Arabia and the US. Rosneft has an EV of $72.5

billion.


WORLD‘S LARGEST PUBLICLY TRADED OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCERS IN 2016

ExxonMobil:

ExxonMobil‘s 4.10 million BOE per day of production lags the two Russian companies namely Gazprom

and Rosneft

PetroChina:

PetroChina‘s production is practically equivalent to ExxonMobil‘s at 4.07 million BOE per day.

PetroChina belongs to state owned China National Petroleum Corporation. It‘s $303 billion enterprise

value is second only to ExxonMobil among publicly traded oil companies.

BP:

BP leads the European companies with 3.24 million BOE per day of production, but the company

suffered a net loss of $6.5 billion in 2015—its largest loss in at least three decades.

BP only managed to add enough new oil reserves in 2015 to replace 61% of the oil it produced for the

year.

Royal Dutch Shell:

Royal Dutch Shell produced 2.95 million BOE per day of production in 2015, but like BP, replaced less

than 100% of its reserves for the year.The company saw its oil reserves decline by 13.5% for the year,

while its natural gas reserves declined by 7%.

Chevron:

Chevron produced 2.62 million BOE per day in 2015, of which 67% was oil.

Chevron managed to grow oil production by 2% from 2014, while also replacing 107% of its oil

production from last year.

Petrobras:

Brazil‘s Petrobras reported 2.55 million BOE per day of production in 2015, which was

4% improvement over 2014.

Lukoil:

Lukoil is Russia‘s third company among the top 10 publicly traded oil and gas producers with

2.40 million BOE per day of production.

Total SA:

The company produced 2.35 million BOE per day of production in 2015.


SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

Fire at chemical plant in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia‘s state run news agency said that a fire at a chemical plant in the Saudi Arabia‘s east has

killed 12 people and injured 11. The news agency quoted the Jubail United Petrochemical Company as

saying the fire began during maintenance of the plant at around 11.40 am.

*****

Accident in Adani Power‟s Mundra thermal plant

One of the 13 workmen, who were critically injured in an accident at Adani Power Ltd‘s Mundra power

plant in Kutch district in Gujarat, succumbed to injuries.

A total of 21 workmen were injured in the accident

These workmen at the 4,600 MW thermal power plant at Mundra in Kutch district had sustained burns

when hot water got splashed from the vent of a flash tank during start up of a unit after a two day

shut down.

*****

Fire mishap at biodiesel facility in Vizag

Fire broke out at Biomax Fuels Limited (BFL), a bio diesel manufacturing unit in the Visakhapatnam

Special Economic Zone (VSEZ), Duvvada on 26th April, 2016.

Biomax Fuels has a manufacturing capacity of 5 lakh metric tonne of bio diesel from multi feedstock at

VSEZ.

No casualties were reported in the incident, as the blaze occurred in the storage area and no worker

was present in close proximity of the mishap site.

The fire incident occurred at

around 7 pm. The accident

involved major bio-diesel

tanks, including six tanks of

5,000 kl, 12 tanks of 2,500 kl,

and two tanks of 1,000 kl

each.

Out of this, 10 tanks of

2,500 kl were completely

gutted in fire, while the

remaining could be saved.It is

said that the industrial unit

had no fire safety systems as

prescribed in the National

Building Code of India, 2005.

Fire spread from one tank to

another tank easily and

quickly.


ANTI DUMPING PAGE Butanol

The Finance Ministry, Government of India has imposed definitive anti dumping duty on normal butanol

imports from the EU, US, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Africa.

Andhra Petrochemficals Ltd had filed the petition seeking anti dumping probe on normal butanol

imports from the US, European Union, Singapore, Malaysia and South Africa.

The anti dumping duty, which will last for five years, ranged from ‗nil to $149.31 per metric tonne

depending on the producer and country of export (among the EU, US, Singapore, Malaysia and South

Africa).

*****

Viscose staple fibre (VSF)

VSF is a major input in the manufacture of fabrics made of poly viscose and 100 per cent viscose yarn.

There are about 150 spinning mills in the country, with about five million spindles.

The Indian Spinners Association (ISA) has alleged that Grasim Industries, the prime manufacturer of VSF

in India, is selling the raw material at prices much higher than global rates, hurting the domestic textile

industry.

―We are paying an ex mill price of $2.15 plus 12.5 per cent excise duty against an import price of

$1.85 per kg (c.i.f.). It is unfortunate that Grasim itself is supplying the fibre to our competitors in other

countries at an ex mill price of $1.80 per kg,‖ ISA said in separate representation to Textiles Secretary

and Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC).

*****

Tyres

With Truck & Bus Radial (TBR) tyre imports increasing in FY16, the Automotive Tyre Manufacturers

Association (ATMA) has asked the Government of India to take urgent measures to halt the sharp surge

in imports and dumping.

ATMA said that TBR tyre imports went up from 7.8 lakh units in FY15 to 12.8 lakh units in FY16,

registering an increase of 64 percent. In the last two year, TBR tyre imports went up by 2.5 times.

From an average per month import of about 40,000 units in FY14 and 65,000 units in FY15, imports

crossed the one lakh units per month mark in FY16.

The Directorate-General of Anti Dumping (DGAD) is at

present carrying out a sunset review of duties imposed on VSF

in 2010 to examine if there is a case for their extension.

The duties cannot be extended beyond July this year in the

absence of a recommendation by the DGAD.

The Indian spinning industry has asked the government to do

away with the anti dumping duty on viscose staple fibre (VSF),

that was imposed in 2010 on shipments from China and

Indonesia.


ANTI DUMPING PAGE

According to ATMA, the industry petition seeking imposition of anti dumping duty on dumped imports

from China is pending with the Commerce Ministry.

The domestic tyre industry has invested about Rs. 35,000 crore in capacity expansion in the last few

years.

*****

R-134a

R-134a refrigerant is used for air conditioning in the automotive industry, plastic foam blowing in the

manufacturing industry, and as a propellant in pharmaceuticals.

The American Hydrofluorocarbon Coalition and its members, including Mexichem (Tlalnepantla,

Mexico), on 3 March,2016 filed an anti dumping duty petition charging that unfairly traded imports of

refrigerant gas R-134a from China are harming the US fluorochemicals industry.

The petition was filed concurrently with the US Department of Commerce and the US International

Trade Commission.

The coalition alleges dumping margins for R-134a ranging from 150% to over 200%.

The petition is being filed in response to large and increasing volumes of low price imports from China.

Imports from China increased by more than 35% from 2013 to 2015 and continue to steadily increase;

as a result, US manufacturers are losing market share and prices are rapidly falling, the coalition says.

*****

US to impose duty on PET

In a unanimous vote on 31 March 2016, the US International Trade Commission (USITC) determined

that domestic producers have been injured by import of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin from

Canada, China, India, and Oman, clearing the way for antidumping duties.

Most of the imports are from China, as TBR export

prices from China are significantly lower than the

prices of such tyres in Chinese domestic market and

prices of similar exports originating from Thailand and

South Korea. The per unit import price from China in

many cases is less than the cost of raw materials in

India.

The Indian tyre industry‘s position is further

vulnerable with the US imposing severe dumping and

anti-subsidy duties against Chinese imports to the US.

Slowdown in the domestic Chinese economy and

demand for automobiles and tyres is said to be cause

for dumping of tyres in India, as it offers a ready and

growing market with very low import duties in

products such as tyres.


ANTI DUMPING PAGE

Import of PET from Canada will be subject to antidumping duties of 104.98 to 126.58% from China,

8.03 to 19.41%; from India and 7.82% from Oman, Additionally, countervailing duties of 6.83 to 47.56%

will be imposed on imports of PET resin from China and 5.12 to 153.8% on imports from India.

The investigation focused specifically on PET resin with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.70–0.88

deciliters/gram—a range that includes bottle grade and some film grade resin but excludes textile fiber

grade resin.

The duties will remain in place for at least five years.

Commerce Department estimates the value of PET resin imports from Canada, China, India, and Oman

in 2014 at $239 million, $92 million, $52 million, and $51 million, respectively. Commerce Department

puts the value of imports from other countries that year at $409 million. The value of US imports of all

grades of PET resin in 2014 totaled $1.2 billion.

DAK Americas, M&G Chemicals, and Nan Ya Plastics Corp. America petitioned for relief on

10 March 2015.

*****

Methylene chloride

India is likely to impose anti dumping duty of up to $279.78 per metric tonne on import of methylene

chloride from China and Russia to protect domestic manufacturers.

Gujarat Fluorochemicals and Chemplast Sanmar had moved the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping

and Allied Duties (DGAD) for imposition of the duty alleging dumping of the chemical from these two

countries. DGAD has recommended to the revenue department to impose the levy ranging between

$122.14 and $279.78 per metric tonne on the imports of methylene chloride. In April 2015, it had

initiated a probe into the alleged dumping, and injury to the domestic industry.

CARBON FIBRE – RECENT DEVELOPMENT

Demand in aerospace sector

Aerospace is a major growth area for carbon fiber. Carbon fiber has become increasingly important for

the aerospace market in the last 10 years, as it has been adopted in the new, wide bodied aircraft like

the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 787.

The key opportunity for carbon fiber in commercial aerospace is its potential adoption in narrow bodied

aircraft. If that is successful, then even with just a 25% adoption, it would increase the market for carbon

fiber in commercial aerospace by a factor of two to be worth in the order of $2 billion in the

next 20 years.

This phase is the first of a planned ¥100 billion investment, as Toray seeks to expand its composite

materials business in the United States.

The need to reduce weight to cut fuel consumption or lower carbon dioxide emissions is a major

factor in the growth of composite materials based on carbon fibers.

Major advances in technology and processing have dramatically expanded the demand

for high performance carbon fibers.

In addition, the introduction of higher volume and lower cost fibers and gains in productivity have

reduced the cost of manufacturing carbon fibers. Increased availability and further improvements

in performance are expected to boost consumption.

Industrial applications will remain the largest market, helped by significant growth in areas such as

pressure vessels, wind turbine blades, and automotive.

The consumption of carbon fibers in industrial applications is forecast to grow average 13%

annually during 2012–18.

Carbon fiber prepreg

Boeing has signed a long-term agreement with

Toray Industries (Tokyo) for the supply of

carbon fiber prepreg for producing the new

Boeing 777X aircraft, extending the companies‘

existing agreement for the B787 Dreamliner by

more than 10 years.

Toray will invest approximately ¥50 billion

($443.5 million) to build an integrated

production line for the yarn precursor of the

company‘s Torayca carbon fiber with capacity of

2,000 metric tonne per year.

Toray is expected to supply prepreg worth more

than ¥1.3 trillion for the 787 and 777X

programmes during the contract period.



The company plans to start producing yarn in May 2017 and will begin supplying prepreg to Boeing in

2019, following certification.

Toray‘s prepregs have been used in the Boeing 787 aircraft , since the beginning for some of the primary

structural materials, including the main wings and body.

Demand for carbon fiber composite materials is expected to increase significantly with Boeing planning

to raise the number of 787 aircraft being produced by 40% by the end of the decade and with the

proportion of larger models also expected to increase.

Structural composite and adhesive materials

Solvay and Boeing extended recently their contract for the supply of structural composite and adhesive

materials made of carbon fibre through 2020.

These materials are used to reduce weight in Boeing‘s large passenger aircraft.

Solvay supplies a range of products that offer high toughness and strength for primary and secondary

structure applications such as flaps, doors, fairings, and ailerons

Demand in automotive sector

The automotive market may offer even greater potential for carbon fibre than aerospace.

If 1% of a luxury or niche car were made of carbon fiber, the carbon fiber automotive market would

grow exponentially from the $250 million it is today up to $3 billion easily in the next 20 years.

If mass market cars were to adopt just one kilogram of carbon fiber per car on average, the market

could double again, to $6 billion.

As the time required to produce vehicles using composite technology based on carbon fibers is reduced,

the cost of production falls and demand for the materials increases .



Auto carbon fiber JV in USA

Continental Structural Plastics (CSP; Auburn Hills, MI) and Mitsubishi Rayon (Tokyo) are considering

creating a joint venture to manufacture carbon fiber structural components for North American

automakers.

CSP says the two companies will conduct detailed studies of the proposal under a new memorandum of

understanding.

The joint venture would produce compression moulded components, both class A and non class A,

from carbon fiber reinforced plastic materials, such as carbon fiber sheet moulded compound or

prepreg carbon fiber compression moulding.

Joint ventures

Increased interest in developing

automotive applications for carbon

fiber composites has resulted in a

number of joint ventures and

collaborations between carbon fiber

producers and car manufacturers.

They include BMW and SGL Group

(Wiesbaden, Germany), with BMW

using carbon fiber reinforced

composites in the passenger

compartments for its i-series of

upmarket electric cars produced in

volume.

Ford is collaborating with Dow

Chemical, and Daimler has established

a jv with Toray on the use of low cost

carbon fiber reinforced composites in

the mass production of cars.

General Motors (GM) is using Teijin‘s

(Tokyo) proprietary fast cycle

composite production technology to

develop carbon fiber reinforced

composites for use in GM‘s cars and

trucks.

GRAPHENE

EMERGING PRODUCT WITH ENORMOUS POTENTIALS

Composite materials

Graphene polymer composite materials have been one of the important application sectors for

graphene. As a nanoscale reinforcing component, a small amount of graphene added to polymers can

improve the electrical, mechanical, thermal and gas barrier properties of polymerms.

Electrode material

Graphene can be used to build three dimensional conductive network in battery electrodes (including

positive electrode and negative electrode). Using 0.5% to 2% of the graphene conductive additives to

replace 10% to 15% of conductive carbon black, internal resistance of a lithium battery can be further

reduced in order to improve the rate performance and cycle life of the battery.

Ningbo Institute of Industrial Technology (CNITECH) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has

developed graphene encapsulated lithium iron phosphate nanoscale particle technology and the

construction of a pilot production line was completed by Ningbo Energy Material Technology Co. Ltd.

Conductive ink

Grephene can be used as the main filler of new types of conductive ink or mixed with nanoscale silver

powder to produce novel conductive pastes and inks and through changing the filling ratio of graphene,

the resistivity and adhesion performance of products are adjusted.

Discovered, isolated and characterised in 2004 by scientists Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov,

graphene, which is a single sheet of carbon atoms that constitute basic 2D structure of graphite

crystals, has found widespread application from telecommunication, power generation,

bio medicine and optics and has the ability to replace a whole range of elements including silicon

and steel.

Graphene has super strength, 200 times more than steel while it is six times lighter in weight. It is

anti corrosive and good conductor of electricity and heat at room temperature.

Its property to be chemically transformed to create new products is what makes graphene a very

significant material.

Graphene has evolved over the last decade with scientists finding many uses for the material.

Application development efforts

The focus of application technology research include graphene for the

preparation of battery electrode materials, semiconductor device

materials, transparent display touch screen materials, thin film

transistors and composite materials.


GRAPHENE - EMERGING PRODUCT WITH ENORMOUS POTENTIALS

Thermal conductive materials

Grephene composite thermal conductive material include graphene cooling fins/membranes with high

thermal conductivity and graphene modified composite material such as thermal conductive fibers and

thermal conductive plastics.

Display devices

Due to its special molecular structure, graphene has high conductivity and is almost completely

transparent and therefore, it is suitable for the production of display devices.

It has high toughness, can stretch 20% without fracture and therefore, it can be used to produce

foldable and retractable display devices. Graphene touch screens have advantages of being harmless to

the environment and requiring fewer resources for manufacture and the production cost is expected to

be significantly lower than that of the familiar indium tin oxide touch screens.

Graphene based biological devices and biological sensors can be used for bacterial analysis and the

detection of DNA and proteins

Graphene nanopore equipment developed by University of Pennsylvania can quickly complete DNA

sequencing. In biological imaging, graphene quantum dots are more stable, less subject to

photobleaching and slower to decay than phosphors.

Being an anti bacterial, graphene oxide is used to reduce infections. It has also found its way in bio

medicine with nano ribbons that are being used for faster DNA sequencing—determining the precise

order of organic molecules. The material—it is many times thinner than paper—has more potential for

being the next frontier in medical diagnostics with bio sensors and electrochemical sensors for detection

of haemoglobin levels, cancer and glucose levels.

Scientists in South Korea have developed a wearable patch for detection of glucose levels from sweat;

loaded with enzymes and micro needles, which not only detects glucose, but also releases metformin for

treating diabetes.

Environmental application

Recently, a team of scientists at the University of Southampton and the Japan Advanced Institute of

Science and Technology (JAIST) have found a new use for graphene—as an efficient and a cheap source

for detecting air pollution.

Biomedicine

Research on graphene applications in the biomedical sector

is in the initial stage; However, the sector is one of the

application sectors with the most extensive industrialization

prospects for graphene.

Graphene and its derivatives have broad applications in

nanoscale drug delivery systems, biological detection,

biological imaging, cancer treatment etc.

.



The sheet interacts with carbon dioxide and volatile organic compound gas found in homes to detect

concentration by parts per billion, as compared to parts per million that most sensors can achieve.

Other research efforts

Researchers from Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany created a microbot with an

outer layer of the material to absorb lead in water and scientists in South Korea developed a vessel lined

with graphene, which can separate oil from an oil spill, collect it and store it in the vessel all by itself

without any external power inputs.

With the material being a perfect barrier, as helium—which is one of the most difficult gases to

contain—cannot pass through it, nano porous graphene can be used for desalination more effectively,

making seawater drinkable.

Renewable energy application

Graphene can also transform renewable energy, as it has the potential to not just double the efficiency

of solar cells, but also create an all weather solar cell.

While solar cells harness the energy of the sun, graphene—with its property of binding positively

charged ions with negatively charged electrons in water—can produce electricity from positively

charged ions in rain drops, which contain calcium, ammonium and sodium.

More than that, the use of graphene in Lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors can improve the

battery life and reduce battery size.

Ultra thin graphene sensor to detect air pollution in homes

Scientists, have developed a grapheme based sensor and switch that can detect air pollution inside

homes.

Manoharan Muruganathan of Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and a team of

researchers developed the sensor to detect individual CO2 molecules adsorbed (the bond of molecules

from a gas to a surface) onto the suspended graphene, one by one, by applying an electric field across

the structure.

Applications in telecommunications

One of the important uses of graphene can be found in

the field of telecommunications and optics.

Mobile phone companies like Samsung have been

working on graphene since 2014 to improve touch

screens and develop flexible screen mobile phones and

wearables.

The technology can be replicated to television and given

that it can hold electrons for far longer, it is also being

used for camera sensors, which are a thousand times

more sensitive to light.

.



The sensor detects individual carbon dioxide molecules and volatile organic compound gas molecules

found in buildings, furniture and even household goods.

These harmful chemical gases are measured in parts per billion and are extremely difficult to detect with

current environmental sensor technology, which can only detect concentrations of parts per million

(ppm).

Detection time for the CO2 molecules is only a few minutes. The study was published in the journal

Science Advances.

Scenario in China

The 12th Five -Year Plan for China‘s New Materials Industry (2011-2015), issued by the Ministry of

Industry and Information Technology of China (MIIT) in 2012, clearly supported the development of

graphene new materials.

In September 2014, the ―863 Plan‖ of MIIT on Nanoscale Materials put forward that by 2018, the key

industrial systems like the preparation, applications of graphene materials would be basically established,

product standards and technical specifications would be basically improved, the stable production of

graphene would be realized, and industrialization would be initially conducted in some industrial

products and civil products.

Graphene producers in China

which Ningbo Morsh Technology Co. Lad has completed a 300 metric tonne per annum graphene

material production line and Beijing Carbon Century Technology Co. Ltd. has constructed graphene

(single atomic layer carbon) demonstration production line.

Production cost

The cost of producing graphene are high. Although new methods have brought down the cost by

several times, it is still not as viable as silicon chips.

Sectorwise Application

Polycarbonate

DMC is used as intermediate in the production of polycarbonate and polycarbonate diol.

Pharmaceutical and intermediate chemical

In the pharmaceutical sector, DMC is mainly used as methylating agent in the synthesis of anti infective

drugs, analgesic – anti pyretic drugs, vitamins and central nervous system drugs.

DMC is also used as a methylating reagent in the production of variety of substrates including thiols,

thiophenols, aromatic amines, arylacetonitriles, arylacetoesters, aroxyacetonitriles, aroxyacetoesters,

alkylarylsulfones, benzylarylsulfones, and lactones

Agrochemical

DMC is used in the production of pesticides such as carbaryl, carbofuran and indoxacarb.



Isocyanates / Polyurethanes

DMC can be used as a reactant in place of phosgene in the manufacture of isocyanates / polyurethanes.

Fuel additive

The high oxygen content of DMC makes it a candidate to replace MTBE as an oxygenated fuel additive.

It can also be used as gasoline additive.

Usually 10% of MTBE (methyl tertbutyl ether) is added, while only 3.3% DMC is needed. (The oxygen

content of a DMC molecule is 53% whereas the oxygen content of MTBE molecule is 17%).

Solvent

DMC finds application in making low boiling point solvents, cleaning agents, propellants for special paints

and sprays.

As a kind of efficient solvent with good property, it can take the place of aromatic hydrocarbon solvent.

DMC may replace other solvents such as toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, acetone and

butanone in coatings and adhesive sectors

Battery electrolyte sector:

The application of DMC in the battery electrolyte sector has aroused interest.

Mobile appliances such as cellular phones, portable computers and video cameras have developed

rapidly in recent years. The output and consumption of lithium cells have therefore increased.

The demand for DMC in the lithium cell sector will grow.

Production of tetramethoxysilane

Direct synthesis route has been developed for the production of tetramethoxysilane from silica and

DMC.

Bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate sector:

For the production of bis (trichloromethyl) carbonate, DMC process is used in China. In the long run,

bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate may be used as substitute for phosgene and it has considerable

development prospect.

Miscellaneous sector

DMC is used to manufacture electrolytes for use in fuel cells and modern batteries.



Advantages of using DMC in the application sector

Pharmaceutical and intermediate chemical sector

DMC has good reactivity and low toxicity. It is an important environmental friendly intermediate for

organic synthesis.

DMC is good solvent with comparatively less toxicity.

It can replace halogenated solvents such as chlorobenzene

Methylation with DMC is very selective. The mono methylation of phenylacetonitrile,

O-methylation of phenol and N-methylation of aniline are such examples

Paints and adhesive

DMC is a viable alternative to acetate esters and ketones in most applications, from paints to adhesives,

taking advantage of its good solvency power

Disadvantages of using DMC in the application sector

DMC methylation reactions take place at a relatively high temperature (T > 160 deg C) and

therefore,the reaction must be carried out either in batch in an autoclave, or in the gas phase.

In the vapor phase, DMC and the reagent must be brought in contact with the catalyst.

This apparent limitation of the operative conditions has, however, spurred the development of

alternative reaction engineering, namely gas liquid phase transfer catalysis and continuously fed stirred

tank reactor.

Indian scenario

DMC is not presently produced in India.

Outline of process

Carbonyl chloride process

COCl2 +2CH3OH ----> (CH3O)2CO + 2HCl

Conventional routes start with the toxic precursors phosgene or carbon monoxide and produce salts

that must be removed from the product.

Methanol/CO oxidation process (liquid phase process)

CO+ 2CH3OH +1/2 O2-------> (CH3O)2CO + 2 H2O

Ester exchange process

(CH2O)2CO + 2CH3OH ----> (CH3O)2CO + (CH2OH)2

CO + 2CH3ONO ----> (CH3O)2CO + 2 NO (1)

2NO + 2CH3OH + 1/2O2 ----> 2CH3ONO + H2O (2)

CO + 2CH32OH + ½ O2 ---> (CH3O)2CO + H20 (3)

DMC is manufactured from CO, methanol and oxygen, as shown in equation (3)]

Seen as a whole, DMC is manufactured from CO, methanol and oxygen,as shown in equation (2) seen as

a whole.

The ester exchange process has two restrictions; It is difficult to increase the reaction rate and the

process simultaneously produces ethylene glycol.

The liquid phase methanol/CO oxidation process has the drawback of also producing large amounts of

by products from side reactions.

Raw material

Basic raw material for the production of DMC is methanol and carbon monoxide.

Global production

Global installed capacity 0.3 million metric tonne per annum

Global production/demand 0.26 million metric tonne per annum

Estimated growth rate in global demand 3% per annum

High purity dimethyl carbonate project in China

High purity dimethyl carbonate is one of the main solvents used in electrolytes for Li-ion batteries, and

demand for high purity dimethyl carbonate is growing significantly.

Ube Industries has agreed with CNSG Anhui Hong Sifang (Hefei, China) to license Ube‘s technology for

manufacturing dimethyl carbonate.

CNSG Anhui Hong Sifang will construct a dimethyl carbonate plant at Hefei, Anhui Province, with a

capacity of 100,000 metric tonne per year.

Ube and CNSG Anhui Hong Sifang will also establish a joint venture with capacity of 10,000 metric

tonne per year for manufacturing and marketing high purity dimethyl carbonate. The jv will receive a

share of dimethyl carbonate from CNSG Anhui Hong Sifang and will market its product to

manufacturers of electrolytes for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in China.

The high purity dimethyl carbonate jv will be called CNSG Anhui Hong Sifang & Ube New Material

Technology Co. and will be established at the end of 2016. CNSG Anhui Hong Sifang will hold a 50%

stake in the jv; Ube will hold 40%; and other, unspecified companies will have 10%.



Prognosis

Likely usage of DMC for the production of polycarbonate in the future projects and possible change of

process from phosgene based route to use of DMC in the existing polycarbonate plants would

significantly contribute to increase in demand for DMC in the global market.

Replacement of dimethyl sulfate as solvent by DMC in pharmaceutical sector and other application

sectors is another thrust area for growth.

Considering the above demand drivers, the growth in demand for dimethyl carbonate is likely to be

steady in the coming years.

FUMED SILICA – PRODUCT PROFILE

Appearance: Fine white powder CAS No. 7631-86-9 Odour Odourless Solubility Insoluble in water pH 4 Particle size 5–50 nm Surface area 50–600 m2 per g Density 160–190 kg per m3 Grade

* Untreated grade (Hydrophilic grade)

* Treated grade (Hydrophobic grade) Untreated grade

Hydrophobic fumed silica are produced by chemical treatment of hydrophilic grade with silanes or

siloxane.

Process outline

Silicon tetrachloride is burned in a flame of hydrogen and oxygen to produce molten spheres of silicon

dioxide (and hydrogen chloride).

Depending on process parameters, the size of these silica spheres can be varied. The molten spheres

collide and fuse with one another to form branched, three dimensional chain like aggregates.

As the aggregates cool down below the fusion temperature of silica, further collisions result in some

reversible mechanical entanglement or agglomeration. Further agglomeration occurs during the

collection process.

During the formation of the product, hydroxyl groups become attached to some of the silicon atoms on

the surface of the silica particles, making the surface hydrophilic and capable of hydrogen bonding with

suitable molecules.

Application areas

Fumed silica is an ultra fine, high purity particle used as a reinforcing, thickening, abrasive, thixotropic,

suspending, or anti caking agent.

Fumed silica is a collection of very fine non porous particles.

Fumed silica consists of microscopic droplets of amorphous silica fused into branched, chain like,

three dimensional secondary particles, which then agglomerate into tertiary particles.

The resulting powder has an low bulk density and high surface area.

Its three dimensional structure results in viscosity increasing, thixotropic behaviour, when used as a

thickener or reinforcing filler.



Fumed silica is used in a wide range of end market applications for the automotive, construction,

microelectronics and consumer products industries.

Fumed silica helps improve the performance of adhesives, sealants, cosmetics, inks, toners, silicone

rubber, coatings, polishing slurries and pharmaceuticals.

Fumed silica is used in cross section of industries including the following:

* Paint and coating * Resin * Pharmaceutical

* Printing ink * Cosmetics * Adhesives/sealants

* Toners * Rubber * Miscellaneous

Scenario in India

Cabot Sanmar is the only manufacturer of fumed silica in India.

Cabot Sanmar is joint venture between Cabot Corporation of the USA and The Sanmar Group.

Cabot Sanmar manufactures and markets fumed silica under the brand name of CAB-O-SIL® in India

with production capacity of around 1500 tonne per annum.

Cabot Sanmar‘s plant integrates the chlorosilane manufacturing technology of Sanmar and the fumed

silica manufacturing technology of Cabot. The plant is located at Mettur, near Salem in Tamil Nadu.

http://www.cabot-corp.com/GlobalGateway.aspx



Cabot Sanmar can manufacture range of untreated grades of fumed silica with the surface area ranging

from 130 sq.mt. per gram to 380 sq.mt. per gram. It also manufactures various treated grades of fumed

silica.

CAB-O-SIL® fumed silicas are free flowing powdered products available in untreated and treated

grades. They are used in a variety of applications, ranging from spark plugs and printing inks to

pharmaceuticals and cake mixes.

Collaboration between silicone monomer producers and fumed silica producers

A basic model for the development of fumed silica in the world is the close cooperation among fumed

silica producers, silicone monomer producers and post processing enterprises.

Fumed silica producers use the byproduct produced in silicone monomer plants as the main raw

material to manufacture fumed silica, while the byproduct hydrogen chloride (HCl) generated in the

course of fumed silica production is sent back to the silicone monomer plants for the synthesis of

silicone.

In addition, fumed silica produced is largely used in the post processing of silicone products, thus

forming a benign cycle of resource utilization and mutual promotion and development.

That is the reason why fumed silica plants of Cabot and Evonik are constructed near the silicone

monomer plants of Dow Corning and GE.

Polysilicon companies like Wacker and Tokuyama produce both polysilicon and fumed silica and have

closely combined the production of fumed silica with polysilicon production.

Prognosis

Demand for fumed silica is expected to be healthy, benefiting from gains in small volume markets such as

plastics, adhesives and sealants, cosmetics and toiletries and food and drinks.

Growth would take place in large electronics market, where it finds use in chemical mechanical

planarization slurries.

regulate supply during peak demand and address the challenge of cloudy or windless days, when

electricity generation from renewable resources such as solar or wind falls.

The energy storage market is constantly looking to increase capacity for applications such as EVs.

The use of lithium in secondary batteries is set to grow 9.1% annually during 2015–20, more than double

that of lithium in general. The biggest growth areas, however, are in grid storage and transportation.

Demand for non battery uses will grow to 24,600 metric tonne in 2020, an increase of 11%, and battery

related demand will increase to 16,700, or 49%, metric tonne in 2020.

Li-ion battery project

Major motor vehicle makers are focussing on developing lithium batteries for EVs and the largest growth

in lithium consumption will occur in EVs and PHEVs.

Tesla Motors is building a Li-ion battery plant at a car manufacturing site in Nevada that will start mass

production in 2016. By 2020, the plant will have the annual capacity for approximately 500,000 cars and

could drive Li-ion battery costs down by 30% through scale.

Automaker Daimler will begin constructing a $544-million Li-ion battery plant in the third quarter of

2016. The facility is to produce batteries for electric and hybrid Mercedes-Benz and Smart cars.

Market for lithium ion batteries

Rechargeable or secondary batteries have

applications in products such as cell

phones, laptop computers, portable

entertainment devices and power tools.

Li-ion batteries are estimated to account

for more than 90% of this market and

have replaced nickel cadmium and nickel

metal hydride batteries.

contain tiny electronics that can monitor insides of the human body, deliver medicine or provide needed

electrical stimulus.

Since the hydrogel is flexible, it can bend and twist without breaking or tearing.

And because much of the human body is made from similar materials, there is little chance that it

would reject the material as a foreign object.

The product is still some years away from US Food and Drug Administration approval, but should that

happen, this new breed of hydrogel may prove to be the foundation upon which an entirely new class of

medical devices is built.

Biodegradable clothing made from tea byproduct

Scientists have developed a new leather like, biodegradable material using tea byproducts to make

clothing, shoes or handbags.

Researchers at Iowa State University developed a gel like film consisting of cellulose fibres a by product

of kombucha tea that feeds off a mixture of vinegar and sugar.

The film is grown by using a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY).

According to Young-A Lee, an associate professor at Iowa State University, the properties of this

SCOBY film are similar to leather once it is harvested and dried and can be used to make clothing,

shoes or handbags.

The material has been tested for other applications, such as cosmetics, foods and biomedical tissue for

wound dressing, but it is relatively new to the apparel industry. The fact that the fibre is 100%

biodegradable is a significant benefit for the fashion industry, which by its very nature generates a lot of

waste.

Scientists develop carbyne

A team of researchers from the University of Vienna, who detailed their

findings in the Nature Materials journal, have successfully produced bulk

amount of carbyne in the lab.

NEWS ROUND UP - INDIA

Jute as material for packaging foodgrains

Government of India is pondering whether to pack wheat entirely in plastic bags instead of jute bags.

The Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution recently complained that an

exemption in the rule for packaging food grains be made in view shortage of supply and price

manipulation of jute bags.

The Ministry of Textiles as well as the Ministry of Food had allowed partial (10 per cent) exemption in

November and December last year for packing wheat in plastic bags in Punjab and Madhya Pradesh

However, the Government of India apprehends that going forward, jute industry will not be able to

supply bags adequately in the remaining months at the prescribed price.

The Food Ministry in a recent note said ―for the current rabi (2016-17) season, the jute industry

expressed its ability to supply 2 lakh bales a month against the total requirement of 13.43 lakh bales

packing materials during December 2015 to April 2016.‖

Considering this, the Government of India has used 4.96 lakh bales of HDPE/PP bags.

For packing wheat, the country needed 14.1 lakh bales of jute bags annually. Meanwhile, the Union

Ministry of Environment and Forests has given jute industry an ‗orange category‘ status indicating the

second highest level of polluters, while plastics industry has been accorded a ‗green category‘, second

most clean status.

Revival proposal for three closed urea units

Earlier, the Government of India had invited bids from private players for revival of Fertiliser

Corporation of India's closed plants at Gorakhpur (UP) and Sindri (Jharkhand), and Hindustan Fertilisers

and Chemicals' plant at Barauni (Bihar).

In view of poor response from bidders for request for qualifications (RFQ) for Gorakhpur and Sindri

units of FCIL and keeping in view current market scenario, it is under consideration to revive Sindri and

Gorakhpur units of FCIL and Barauni unit of HFCL through joint ventures of profit making and financially

strong PSUs of Ministries of Power, Coal and Petroleum & Natural Gas respectively.

From January to April 2016,the two Union

Ministries extended the exemption further to

30 percent.

Until now, jute mills have managed to supply the

quantum of bags required for packing wheat to Food

Corporation of India and the State procurement

agencies in Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar

Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh for

the 2016-17 rabi crop season.



The likely cost of setting up of a 1.27 million metric tonne urea plant is about Rs 6,000 crore and the

revival process will start after formation of joint ventures and on receipt of all necessary approvals,

Proposed urea project in Rajasthan

Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd is setting up 1.34 million metric tonne urea plant at Kota in

Rajasthan with an estimated investment of Rs 5,940 crore.

Proposed urea project in Andhra Pradesh

Urea plant at Ramagundam will be established by the Ramagundam Fertilisers & Chemicals, a joint

venture between NFL, EIL and FCIL, with an estimated investment of Rs 5,254.28 crore.

HFO-1234yf plant

Honeywell has entered into a supply agreement and technology license with Navin Fluorine (Mumbai) to

produce Honeywell Solstice yf, Honeywell‘s brand of the refrigerant gas HFO-1234yf.

Honeywell will license its proprietary process technologies to Navin Fluorine to produce Solstice yf

in India exclusively for Honeywell.

Small scale production is expected to begin by the end of 2016.

Separately, chemicals manufacturer SRF (Gurgaon, India) says that its board has approved building a pilot

plant in India to manufacture HFO-1234yf.

Honeywell Solstice yf is a car refrigerant with global warming potential (GWP) of less than one.

HFO-1234yf is a hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerant that is a near drop in replacement for R-134a, a

hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) with a GWP of 1,300, for use in vehicle air conditioning systems.

HFO-1234yf is also being used in a growing number of stationary air conditioning and commercial

refrigeration applications. Demand from mobile air conditioning is increasing rapidly because of

tightening environmental regulations and policies aimed at reducing the global warming impacts of HFCs.

SRF has not specified where the pilot plant will be built. SRF produces refrigerants at Bhiwadi and Dahej,

India. The initiative will make SRF the first company outside Europe and the United States to develop

and produce HFO-1234yf using its own technology.

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CROPS

– RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

A species of genetically engineered mushroom has been freed of regulation by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture (USDA).

This means that it can be cultivated and sold without being overseen by the USDA, according to a news

report published online in Nature recently.

Though about 30 genetically modified organisms have been similarly freed by the USDA, the special thing

about this mushroom species is that this is the first organism to have been edited using the tool CRISPR-

Cas9, which has been making waves in the field of genome editing, lately.

Known as the common white button mushroom, this fungus species (Agaricus bisporus) was genetically

engineered by Yinong Yang of Pennsylvania State University using CRISPR-Cas9. The engineered

mushrooms do not brown easily when sliced. This can improve their shelf life, thereby rendering them

valuable commercially.

The browning of the mushroom is caused by the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and the above effect

may be got by removing the genes that code for this enzyme. By removing some base pairs from the

mushroom‘s genome, Dr Yang succeeded in getting rid of one of the six PPO genes which reduced the

enzyme‘s activity by 30 per cent.

This process did not introduce foreign DNA from other viruses and bacteria. This is perhaps the reason

why the modified mushroom was given the green signal. Among the 30 plant species that have escaped

the regulatory framework is a rose coloured pineapple variety.

The U.S. National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and

Medicine will meet on April 18,2016 to discuss the issues, bring

out a report that will predict what kind of advances will be

made in biotechnology products over the coming years.

The report will also comment on regulatory processes.

The organisms that have currently been given the green signal

involve somewhat simple steps of editing such as knocking off a

set of genes to create a desired effect. As the technology

advances, more complex procedures will be initiated and so the

whole process of regulating these products will need to be

reviewed as and when that happens.

Cultivating genetically modified crops is a huge industry which may be undergoing a massive rethink

involving several arguments that are for and against.

There is a whole spectrum of rules and regulations in countries around the world when it comes to

research in genetic engineering and implementation of the results of research outside the lab. A case

in point is that of germline editing using CRISPR, in which area many countries have even banned

research. With regard to genetically modified crops, the U.S. has been quite liberal and it is likely to

become more so.

GSPC‟s DDW field belonging go GSPC

With the latest pricing for gas finds in difficult areas at $6.61 per mmBtu on GCV basis, the cumulative

production from Deen Dayal West Field‘s D-4 will be worth around $200 million, said, Director

(Exploration), GSPC.

The development area of DDW, which is spread over 17 sq km, has the potential to have multilateral

wells to extract maximum oil and gas.

Hydrofracturing (HF) is a well stimulation technique in which the well rock is fractured by a pressurised

liquid.

GSPC has to use a pressure of 13,000 PSI (approximately 900 times more than the atmospheric

pressure) and 300,000 pounds of proppant for each zone to be fractured.

It is the first time in India that the HF process was used in the HPHT and Offshore environment at a

depth of 5,000 meters below sea bed.

The process involves high pressure injection of ‗Fracking Fluid‘ (primarily water, containing sand or

other proppants carried with the aid of viscous fluid) into a well bore to create cracks in the deep rock

formations, through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely.

Given GSPC‘s success with the HF process, other gas companies too are likely to take up this process,

the statement said.

Energy storage system in Haryana

The global energy storage market has entered a new growth phase and Navigant Research projects that

more than 11 GW of energy storage capacity will be installed annually by 2020 in 22 countries.

Panasonic India and AES India announced an agreement to construct a 10-MW energy storage system in

Jhajjar, Haryana.

AES claims that its designs for energy storage solutions can be used for both utility scale and behind the

meter applications and allows for configurations from 100 KW to over 1,000 MW.

The energy storage system will come up in Panasonic‘s Technopark manufacturing facility and is a large

scale battery based energy storage project.

The Dean Dayal West field (DDW field), developed at a

depth of 5,000 meters below the sea bed, has wells that

fall in the High Pressure & High Temperature category

(HPHT).

GSPC carried out four stages of HF successfully in one of

the wells and pumped more than 300,000 pounds of

proppants in two of the HF zones as planned.Firms such

as Halliburton, Barry & Associates, E-Frac and Xodus

were employed for HF activity.


ENERGY PAGE

Panasonic will supply Advancion Certified batteries for the project. This is the first commercial energy

storage project with AES and the companies are working on a roadmap to expand the scope of the

partnership to meet the growing needs of the global market.

The storage will provide daily reliability and back up to the manufacturing facility, while demonstrating

grid stability and renewable integration services in the region. The project combines Panasonic‘s

capabilities as a lithium-ion batter supplier and AES‘ platform.

„Zero energy buildings‟ using flexible solar cells

'Zero energy' buildings, which generate as much power as they consume - are now closer to reality, as

scientists have achieved the world's highest efficiency, using flexible solar cells that are non toxic and

cheaper to make.

Until now, the promise of 'zero energy' buildings have been held back by two hurdles: the cost of the

thin film solar cells (used in facades, roofs and windows), and the fact they are made from scarce, and

highly toxic, materials.

Unlike its thin film competitors, CZTS cells are made from abundant materials, such as copper, zinc, tin

and sulphur.

CZTS has none of the toxicity problems of its two thin film rivals, known as CdTe (cadmium-telluride)

and CIGS (copper-indium-gallium-selenide).

Cadmium and selenium are toxic at even tiny doses, while tellurium and indium are extremely rare.

*****

In the 1960s, the U.S. Army installed a nuclear reactor inside the hull of a World War II freighter to

provide electricity for the Panama Canal Zone. And nuclear power has been on vessels since 1955,

when the commanding officer of the Nautilus, an American submarine, sent word that the craft was

―underway on nuclear power‖. Since then, nuclear reactors have provided propulsion and electrical

power, for ships.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales in

Australia achieved the world's highest efficiency rating for a

full sized thin film solar cell using a competing thin-film

technology, known as CZTS.

The US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has

confirmed this world leading 7.6 per cent efficiency in a one

square centimetre area CZTS cell.

Proposed floating nuclear plants in China

A state owned company, China Shipbuilding Industry Corp., is planning

to build a fleet of the vessels to provide electricity to remote locations

including offshore oil platforms and the contentious man-made islands.

China would not be the first country to employ floating nuclear power

plants

Ban on Polychlorinated Biphenyls

PCBs are synthetic organic chemicals used in many different products including electrical equipment,

inks, adhesives, flame retardants, and paints. Its production and use are now severely restricted in many

countries because of possible impacts on human health and the environment.

Government of India has banned the manufacture and import of toxic pollutant Polychlorinated

Biphenyls (PCBs) and directed complete prohibition on its use in any form by end of 2025.

The Ministry has notified the 'Regulation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls Order, 2016' which also bans

import of equipment containing PCBs.

That apart, the import, export or trade of PCBs contaminated equipment will be regulated as per the

provisions of the Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules,

2008.

The use of equipment containing PCBs will be permitted for their certified life time or December 31,

2025, whichever is earlier, provided that they are maintained properly without possibility of leakage or

release of PCBs to environment.

Also, the total quantity of PCBs, the number of equipment containing PCBs contaminated with this

chemical which are in use and their stockpiles -- all the inventory details need to be furnished to the

ministry within one year.

The government has directed users not to drain or discharge PCBs directly or indirectly on land, in

surface water or effluent treatment plant from defective, out of use PCBs containing or contaminated

equipment or in use PCBs containing equipment.

The waste PCBs or equipment contaminated with PCBs should be disposed of as per the provisions of

the Hazardous Wastes (Management,Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008 by

December, 31 2028.

Stockpiles of PCBs, if any, should also be destroyed in environment beneficial manner by

December, 2028, the notification added.

However, the government has allowed use, sale and import of PCBs in quantities as required for

research and development activities in Central universities, Council of scientific and Industrial Research

Laboratories, government institutions or Central Power Research Institute after the concurrence of the

Union Environment Ministry.

The government's decision is in line with the Stockholm Convention, under which signatory countries

are to prohibit or take necessary legal and administrative measures to eliminate the production and use

of PCBs. India signed it in May 2002.

Bromate in packaged drinking water

Though BIS had earlier made it mandatory to test for other carcinogens like polyaromatic hydrocarbons

(PAHs), poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides, bromate emerged as a threat after the World

Health Organisation and other international agencies reported how the presence of this substance in

high quantity was hazardous for health.

Taking cue from this, a team of four scientists from BARC checked 90 samples of different brands of

bottled water sold in Mumbai and came out with its report in January,2015. Bromate was found to be

higher than the WHO prescribed standards in 27% of the samples tested.

Acting on the findings of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

has made it mandatory to test for bromate in packaged water and set April 30,2016 for its enforcement

across the country.

DUPONT WILL NOT RESUME OPERATIONS

AT LA PORTE INSECTICIDE PLANT IN USA

On 15 November 2014, a DuPont worker was overcome when a supply line

unexpectedly released more than 20,000 lbs of methyl mercaptan at La Porte. Three

coworkers came to the worker‘s aid in an attempted rescue, but all four were

asphyxiated fatally by the colourless gas, according to OSHA. The agency placed DuPont

in its severe violator enforcement programme after its inspections following the accident

found ―serious, willful and repeat violations‖.

DuPont will not resume production at the La Porte, TX, insecticide plant that has been

off line since a fatal methyl mercaptan leak in late 2014.

Since the shutdown of the facility, there have been a number of changes in the global crop

protection chemicals market, including low crop prices, which have impacted demand for

crop protection chemicals,and declines in the Brazilian market due to lower insect

pressure, insect resistant crops and currency and economic conditions, DuPont says

―Due to the changes in the market, uncertainty regarding when the facility could be

restarted and further capital expenditures required for the restart, the company has

decided that restart of the facility is not a long term, viable and cost efficient option for

the DuPont crop protection business.‖

The company adds that it has identified alternative sources of supply for methomyl, the

active ingredient in one of two insecticides manufactured at the plant, and is ―actively

pursuing‖ procuring oxamyl for the second.
