The Centre aims to improve food security and access to affordable energy through their IFAD-ICRAF Biofuel programme, which develops a sustainable biofuel supply chain using smallholder production of alternative crops on marginal lands in Karnataka, India. The programme focuses on agroforestry systems using locally adapted species to maintain soil quality and minimize input needs. It takes a landscape approach and involves private partners and end users to develop the full biofuel value chain.
An Industrial Method of Biofuel Production from ChitinCharlie Pei
This document summarizes research on developing an industrial process for producing biofuels from chitin, the second most abundant natural biopolymer. The process involves three main steps: 1) pretreating and hydrolyzing chitin to release glucosamine (GlcN), 2) fermenting GlcN using bacteria to produce biofuels, and 3) modeling an industrial plant using the experimental data. Several bacterial species were tested for GlcN fermentation, and Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 55025 produced the highest butanol yield. Optimization of pretreatment, hydrolysis and fermentation conditions improved GlcN yields and biofuel production. An economic model of an industrial

Biofuels are fuels produced from biological sources such as agricultural waste, sugarcane, corn, and algae. They include bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas. Biofuels offer advantages like reducing dependence on fossil fuels, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing foreign oil reliance. However, they also have disadvantages like potentially higher food prices and shortages if too much cropland is used for fuel production rather than food. Common biofuels include bioethanol from sugar cane or corn fermentation, biodiesel from vegetable or animal fats, and biogas from organic waste digestion.
Biofuels are liquid fuels produced from biomass rather than fossil fuels. The two main types are bioethanol, produced from crops high in sugar or starch through fermentation, and biodiesel, produced from vegetable oils or animal fats. Biofuels provide environmental benefits like reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decreasing dependence on foreign oil. While biofuels have advantages, their production also has potential drawbacks like requiring significant land and water resources as well as possibly introducing invasive species.
Bagasse, a waste product of sugarcane processing, can be used to produce bioethanol through fermentation. Bagasse contains cellulose that can be broken down through pretreatment and hydrolysis into glucose, then fermented by bacteria like Clostridium thermocellum into bioethanol. Producing bioethanol from bagasse provides an environmentally friendly alternative fuel and makes use of an agricultural waste product.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
