Indian Oil Corporation said that Krishan Pal, Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt of India, unveiled two innovative technologies developed by its R&D Centre to coincide with the World Biofuel Day 2018.
Krishan Pal inaugurated the IOC-DBT-Lanzatech pilot plant set up at Indian Oil’s R&D Centre to convert carbon dioxide to high-value lipids. This novel 3rd generation biofuel technology has been developed by the DBT-IOC Centre for Advanced Bio-Energy Research at Indian Oil R&D by integrating two technologies:
a) LanzaTech-USA’s patented anaerobic gas fermentation technology to convert carbon dioxide into acetic acid, and
b) Indian Oil R&D’s patented aerobic fermentation technology to convert acetic acid to lipids (algal oil), including the highly valuable Omega 3-fatty acids (DHAs). The lipids are then trans-esterified followed by separation of Omega 3-fatty acids (DHAs) esters as high-value product. The remaining lipid esters are used as biodiesel fuel. DHAs esters are essential components of nutrient formulation for children, adults and are used to combat childhood malnutrition. Thus, this value chain makes the overall process economically feasible.
