DRDO licences technology from CSMCRI to develop bio-diesel
Ahmedabad: Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO)has formally licensed the technology to develop bio-diesel from Central Salt and Marine Chemical Research Institute (CSMCRI), a CSMCRI official said here today.
DRDO has formally been licensed the technology to develop bio-diesel for military vehicles by Bhavnagar CSMCRI in Gujarat, CSMCRI Director Pushpito Ghosh told PTI.
As part of the defence bio-diesel programme, CSMCRI has installed the first zero effluent discharge bio-diesel plant of one tonne per day capacity at Secunderabad Military farm of DRDO to generate fuel from Jatropha seeds, he said.
On being contacted Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (VRDE) of DRDO, Ahmednagar spokesperson said that vehicles are still being tested for bio-diesel and final result has not come.
He confirmed that a bio-diesel plant has been installed by CSMCRI at DRDO Secunderabad and vehicles are being tested on blends of bio-diesel.
"After testing our bio-diesel, the premier laboratory of DRDO has formally licensed the technology to develop bio-diesel from us," Ghosh told PTI.
Recent research done by VRDE (DRDO) using our Jatropha methyl ester points to excellent results on emission control even as a 20 per cent blend, Ghosh added.
