BIODIESEL R&D at IOC • Jatropha Plantation • Trans-esterification Process Optimization • Biodiesel Quality Control Lab • Emission Studies • Field Trials on Buses Jointly with Haryana Roadways and Ashok Leyland • Field Trials on Trains, Jointly with Indian Railways • Field Trials on Automobiles, Jointly with Tata Motors, Escorts Tractors and Mahindra & Mahindra VALUE CHAIN R&D TO ACHIEVE B20 BLENDING
Biodiesel Purchase Policy • MoPN&G declared Biodiesel Purchase Policy on 9th Oct. 2005 • Effective from 1.1.2006 • Emphasis on • Standard Quality (as per BIS Spec) • Uniform Price (Rs. 25 / Litre) • Setting up of 20 Purchase Centres by Oil PSUs • Assured Market to Farmers & Entrepreneurs
Biodiesel Purchase Centres • Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand & Orissa – Ghatkesar, AP (HPC) • Chattisgarh – Mandirhasaud (HPC) • Delhi – Bijwasan (IOC) • Gujarat – Kandla (BPC) • Haryana – Rewari (IOC) • Karnataka – Devanagunthi, Bangalore (IOC) & Mangalore (IOC)
Biodiesel Purchase Centres • Madhya Pradesh – Mangliagaon,Indore, (IOC) • Maharashtra – Manmad (BPC); Nagpur (BPC); Loni (HPC) & Vashi (HPC) • Punjab – Bhatinda (IOC) • Rajasthan – Jaipur (BPC); Salawas (HPC) • Tamilnadu – Chennai (IOC); Narimanam (IBP) & Karur (BPC) • UP & Uttaranchal – Panki (IOC) & Amousi (IBP)
Biodiesel Purchase Policy • Biodiesel manufacturers to approach State Level Coordinators (SLC) for registration as supplier • SLC to assess the production capacity and credibility of the supplier and quality of the product • Registration valid for one year and renewable on change of manufacturing process or raw material • Priority to be given to producers using non-edible tree borne seed oils and supporting farmers in this context
Biodiesel Quality Checks • Product to meet all specifications prescribed in PCD3(2242)C Draft BIS Specifications dated 26.7.2004 • Industry Manual on Operations, Quality & Safety for Biodiesel to be made available by OMCs to Biodiesel Manufacturers • Every consignment to meet the specifications for six critical tests • Testing charges at oil terminals to be borne by OMCs
Critical Biodiesel Tests • Density @ 15oC • Kinematic Viscosity @ 40oC • Flash Point • Water Content • Copper Corrosion • Acid Value • Delivery in tank trucks of capacity not less than 10 KL • Every consignment to be tested for above parameters
TRANS-ESTERIFICATION PROCESS Biodiesel to be free from residual Vegetable Oil, FFA, gums, water, catalyst, methanol and glycerine
Other Salient Proposals of Biodiesel Purchase Policy • Networking of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRI) with NOVOD Board, DBT & NBRI for good quality seeds and saplings • Networking of PRIs with entrepreneurs for seed collection, oil extraction & biodiesel production • PCRA in association with Ministry of Panchayati Raj and State Govts to conduct mass awareness programs on Jatropha & Biodiesel
Other Salient Proposals of Biodiesel Purchase Policy • R&D studies and field trials to be continued to achieve 20% Biodiesel blending and to be coordinated by IOC R&D • Progress of the implementation of the Biodiesel Purchase Policy by OMCs to be monitored by Petroleum Policy and Analysis Cell (PPAC) and report the progress to MoP&NG on regular basis
Conclusions • Biodiesel to be free from residual Vegetable Oil, FFA, gums, water, catalyst, methanol and glycerine • To achieve 20% Biodiesel Blending – India needs > 10 MMT of Biodiesel • That requires Jatropha plantation on approx. 10 million hectares • Leading to creation of millions of jobs and substantial reduction in pollution level
