Several leading Indian universities have joined forces to spearhead research aimed at enhancing the efficiency of biodiesel production and utilization. Collaborative efforts between researchers from IITs and agricultural universities are focusing on optimizing cultivation techniques for biodiesel feedstocks like algae and castor beans. This initiative, supported by grants from the Ministry of Environment, aims to develop sustainable biodiesel solutions tailored to India’s diverse climatic conditions. Anticipated outcomes include higher yield per acre and reduced environmental impact, reinforcing India’s commitment to green energy innovation.
