Stability Analysis of Mahua Seed and Waste Polystyrene Co-pyrolytic Oil
Abstract: Biomass pyrolytic oil is a complex mixture of organic compounds and obtained in a non-equilibrium state. Hence, the physical properties of bio-oil such as calorific value, viscosity, pH, density, flow ability and chemical compositions vary during storage. In this study, co-pyrolysis of Mahua seed was performed with waste polystyrene and studied the fuel properties and composition. The co-pyrolytic oil was produced at 2:1 ratio of seed to waste polystyrene using …

Investigation on Stability Analysis of Polanga oil Methyl Ester
Abstract: Biodiesel is a renewable alternative fuel and consists of mono-alkyl esters of the fatty acids. One of the major technical problems associated with the biodiesel is its storage stability and susceptibility to oxidation because of its chemical nature. This nature of the biodiesel is due to unsaturated fatty acid chains in its molecular structure. Also, the presence of the double bond in the molecule of the biodiesel produces a high …

Sustainable Biofuels: Current Scenario
Abstract: In context to the concerns related to attenuation of crude oil reserves, rise in demand and price of petroleum, global climate change and energy security; bioenergy is increasingly becoming relevant as a potential alternative to fossil fuels. Biofuels are derived from renewable bio-mass resources and therefore provide a strategic advantage to promote sustainable development associated with high economic growth. Here, in this short review, an overview of current scenario of …

Solar Energy: Current Indian Scenario
Abstract: India with a rapidly growing economy stands 5th in the world in terms of production and consumption of electricity. The country has tremendous scope of generating solar energy largely because of its geographical location which enables to receive solar radiation almost throughout the year. Almost every part of India receives 4–7 kWh of solar radiation/m2 which is equivalent to 2300–3200 of sunshine h/yr. Several states including Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya …

Sustainable Development: The Current Indian Scenario
Abstract: India has emerged as one of the most promising countries for the development of a biotechnology business pole because it is a mega biodiverse country containing more than two million different species of animals, plants and microorganisms. One of the biggest drawbacks of this country is the laws that govern innovation: intellectual property law and provisional measures of access to genetic resources do not encourage innovation in this sector. The …
