Previous Information / Announcements of SPP
Biofuel
Series
Biofuel (fuel obtained from non-edible oil seeds and other
regenerative sources) is fast emerging as the alternate fuel
for transport and power sector. The rapid increase in the
fossil fuel price and the efforts for climate change
mitigation has compelled the authorities to look at new
renewable sources for fuel production. Biofuel is one such
alternate fuel which is being developed in several countries
as an important source of renewable energy.
KSCST located in the campus of Indian Institute of Science has
been playing a pivotal role in promoting Science & Technology
through various R&D projects which are socially relevant.
Student Project Programme (SPP) is a flagship programme of the
Council and has been encouraging engineering students and
others to take up innovative projects.
KSCST has recently set up a Biofuel Cell in collaboration with
Karnataka State Bioenergy Development Board (KSBDB). KSBDB is
the lead agency in the State extensively working for Biofuel
Development and has taken up major projects to promote the
Biofuel Development and create awareness in the State. In this
direction KSBDB has set up of Biofuel Information and
Demonstration Centers in all the districts of the State with a
focus on Research and Development in the Biofuel area.
In this connection KSBDB & KSCST jointly has taken an
initiative to sponsor the students projects on Biofuels for
technical guidance and financial assistance for Final year
engineering Students (BE, M.Tech and MBA Students) and post
graduate (M.Sc.) Students.
