|---|---|
| Development of National Biomass of India | Dr. Vandit Vijay |
| Thermophilic anaerobic consortium enrichment for enhanced biogas/ biomethane production (Thermophilic temperature is selected for the project because, as a general rule, at higher temperature the Degradation of biomass is more efficient and the biogas yield is higher) | Dr. Vandit Vijay/Dr. Nikhil Gakkhar |
| Upgradation of biogas to BioCNG (Project deals with removal of carbon dioxide from the Biogas, which significantly increases the calorific value of the purified gas by concentration its methane content) | Dr Sachin Kumar |
| Biogas/BioCNG plant design standardization (Project gives Design for Bio-CNG production which is produced from biogas, through convenient process involving desulphurisation, upgradation and compression ) | Dr Sachin Kumar |
| Scale-up of lignocellulosic biorefinery (Project involves The scale up of lignocellulosic biorefinery operations that requires efficient management of resources, process optimizations and innovations) | Dr Sachin Kumar |
| Design and Development of Solar Biomass Hybrid Air Dryer (This project involves solar-biogas hybrid dryer design, development and testing for biomass drying with optimal capacity ) | Dr. Kunwar Pal |
| Biomass Characterization for standardization of pellets and briquettes (Biomass briquettes are a proven way of generating energy from waste. This project investigates the development and characterization of biomass briquettes ) | Dr. Nikhil Gakkhar |
| Development of biomass-based electrode for fuel cells Project investigates Natural biomass as a promising candidate for the preparation of carbon based material that can be used as effective electrode catalysts for fuel cells | Dr Anil Kumar Sarma |
