Stubble Burning’s Impact on Southern India’s Air Quality
Stubble burning is a common practice to clear fields. After harvest, that releases harmful pollutants into the air, contributing to air quality degradation, respiratory issues, and environmental deterioration. Recognizing the urgent need for alternatives, the focus has shifted towards 2G ethanol pro...

H2, EV and Biofuel
Resources like water, natural gas, fossil fuels, or biomass are the traditional raw materials for fueling a vehicle, which is now in limited supply. However, hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Hence, Hydrogen cars (FCEVs) are those cars that have characteristics of both electric...

Synthetic fuel
What is synthetic fuel?
A liquid fuel not from natural crude oil is a synthetic fuel, and synthetic fuels are artificial alternatives to conventional gasoline or diesel. In its simplest form, a synthetic fuel combines hydrogen and carbon atoms to form a compound known as an alkene — usually E...

Biodiesel
Production of 100 pounds of biodiesel and 10 pounds of glycerin needs 100 pounds of oil fats, 10 pounds of short-chain alcohol and the presence of a catalyst. Usually, methanol is used as an alcohol base. The catalyst is an activator that ensures the chemical reactions of the base components. The us...
