Renewable Feedstocks in the Indian Chemical Industry – Out Now
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/46514b/renewable_feedstoc) has announced the addition of the “Renewable Feedstocks in the Indian Chemical Industry” report to their offering.
The aim of this report is to provide a clear understanding of the situation in India regarding renewable feedstocks in the chemical Industry, the factors leading to their introduction, usage today, and possible future developments.
Renewable feedstocks, as alternatives to petroleum based feedstocks are at a nascent stage of development in the Indian chemical industry. The national Government has given an initial focus to the biofuels sector with several initiatives designed to promote the substitution of a percentage of its petroleum requirement. These biofuels initiatives have consequences for the chemical industry which are beginning to be noticed in India.
The main premise that is developed in this report is that biofuel development – the most visible area demanding renewable feedstocks for a country without significant oil reserves – comes first, and chemical industry developments necessarily follow on once the feedstock infrastructure and the biofuel sector is established.
This report is broadly divided into three sections.
Section I looks at the work of the Indian Government in promoting and initiating the use of renewable feedstocks, which to date relates mainly to the biofuels sector. Also looked at are the policies and initiatives that began in earnest in the early 2000′s relating to fuel ethanol and biodiesel, and continue through to the current political situation.
Section II examines the role of academia relating to research and development into renewable feedstocks. Increasing attention
He-Ro Consulting Ltd, Hong Kong – Asian Chemical Industry Specialists is being paid by academia to the efficient use of by-products arising from biofuel production.
Section III goes on to examine the situation in the Indian chemical industry, beginning with an examination of the biofuels sector. As India is one of the largest sugar producing countries in the world, sugarcane/molasses has emerged as the key feedstock for fuel ethanol development.
The ethanol producers are looked at and examine which are developing alternative downstream products aside from fuel ethanol.
Diesel is the commonest form of transportation fuel in India with a demand 5 times higher than for petrol. However development of the biodiesel industry has lagged that of the fuel ethanol industry due to the less established supply infrastructure for the feedstocks, compared to sugarcane. Jatropha curcus, the chosen feedstock, has been under intensive development over the past few years and the volume of planting is slowly beginning to approach levels whereby it can start to fulfil its promise as a key biodiesel feedstock.
Major biodiesel producers are looked at and the report identifies those who are actively seeking to develop forward integration models for efficient use of by-products.
Several other chemical producers are identified who are increasing activity in the renewable feedstocks sector.
