The disposal of plastic waste has become a major environmental concern, considering the ever-increasing consumption of plastics. Bioplastics like PHB (polyhydroxy butyrate) from microbial sources is a viable alternative but they are expensive. An alternative is to use cheaper and naturally available renewable biopolymers from agricultural feedstocks like starch, amylose, soyflour etc. However, their hydrophilicity and poor mechanical properties are a major hindrance to their usage.

We can live a healthy and happy life by controlling the choices we make, for ourselves and for our environment. By eating foods that are produced organically we reduce our exposure to harmful pesticides and artificial fertilisers. Organic agriculture preserves healthy soils and prevents loss of biodiversity which is critical for a balanced ecosystem for our planet.

Under this project, TERI would collaborate with HPCL for carrying out a feasibility study for Jatropha based biodiesel production in the states of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. The study would take into account, the policy environment in terms of not only the policy initiatives of the GoI, but also the policy initiatives adopted by the respective state govts. It would also evaluate different plantation models that could be developed for biodiesel production: 1. Private Farmers Land 2. Community land 3. Govt.

TERI carried out a pilot study with CEIL to determine the feasibility of bioremediation of drill cutting and was able to bring down the hydrocarbon level below the permissible limits. Based on the initial lab results and a pilot scale field trials in the CEIL drill site, this proposal intend to upscale the study with a larger volume of wastes (drill cuttings) and propose to TERI to determine the techno-commercial feasibility of bioremediation of drill cuttings/ oil contaminated wastes that will be generated from exploration and production operations.
