TALK OF THE MONTH

WHY ARE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IN CHINA FORGING AHEAD
AND
NOT IN INDIA?
There have been huge concern in
India in recent times about the
lack of adequate focus on capacity
creation in chemical industries in
the country.As a result, import of
chemicals in India are rapidly
increasing, that can now be called
as alarming level. Still, there is no
indication that active steps would
be taken to create manufacturing
capacities for various chemicals in
India to the extent required, in
tune with the
growth in the
demand.
Under the circumstances, it appears to be inevitable that the demand for
import of chemicals would further steadily go up in the country in the coming
years, that would make India as global import hub for chemicals.
There is already enough indication that capacities for chemical projects are
being built in countries like China, Korea and Middle East countries with an
eye on grabbing the Indian market . Many of these countries are
considerably banking on Indian market for their product outlet.
Obviously, Indian chemical industries appear to have lost the initiative in building
capacities due to lack of pro active government policies and failure to build up
appropriate investment climate in the country. In such conditions, it would be
appropriate to ponder about the difference between the conditions in India and
China and why massive growth in capacity creation are occurring in the
chemical industries in China that are not happening in India. This is so, inspite of
the fact that both the countries have number of similar advantages.
Government of China has succeeded in creating an appropriate investment
climate in China, where multi national companies largely based in Europe and
USA find it attractive to make their investment in China and build project
capacities in China based on their advanced technologies. In this process, they
not only build capacities in China with the objective of meeting the surging
demand in China but also to use their investments and presence in China as
spring board to market their products and services to other countries in Asia
Pacific region. In this process, chemical industries in China have gained
enormously.
WHY ARE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IN CHINA FORGING AHEAD AND NOT IN INDIA?
It should be said to the credit of Government of China and project
promoters in China that they have created high level of confidence amongst
the overseas investors to enter and operate in China with long term
prospective plans. China has gained by not only getting investment capital
but also receiving substantial technology inputs. It would otherwise, have
taken many years for China to develop such advanced technologies that are
necessary to be competitive in the global market and forge ahead.
Obviously, neither the government of India nor the project promoters in
India have been able to position themselves adequately, as have been done
in China. Therefore, this implies that the difference between the conditions in
India and China are basically due to their respective approaches to the
issues and not any fundamental factors.

The Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry has recommended

dumping duty of US$94.96 per tonne and US$85.85 per tonne on imports of
acetone originating in or exported from Japan and Thailand respectively.
However, producers of the chemical PTT Phenol Company Ltd. of Thailand
and Mitsui Chemicals Inc of Japan have been exempted from paying any
dumping duties. The authorities had carried out the investigations after
receiving an application from Hindustan Organic Chemicals Ltd. (HOCL) and
supported by SI Group-India Ltd (formerly known as Schenectady Herdillia
Ltd.) on behalf of the domestic industry, alleging dumping of acetone.
The authorities had imposed provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of
acetone from these countries in April 2010. In its recommendations, the
Authority said that it is of the view that imposition of final duty is required to
offset dumping and injury pending completion of the investigation.
"Therefore, the Authority considered it necessary and recommended
imposition of final anti-dumping duty on imports of acetone

Endosulfan is
authorisations
In 2007, the
Pollutant (POP
insecticide and European Union (EU) in 2005 withdrew all

for use of plant protection products containing endosulfan.
EU sought listing of endosulfan as a Persistent Organic
) before the Stockholm Convention.
Some 60 countries including the 27 EU members States and 21 in Africa have

favoured banning the endosulfan.
US and the EU have banned endosulfan. It is not approved to be used in rice
fields in several other countries. The use is severely restricted in others.
India is an important producer and exporter of endosulfan.
The Stockholm Convention, to which India is a signatory, requires parties to
eliminate or reduce the release of POPs into the environment. POP Review
Committee of the Convention agreed on categorising endosulfan as a POP.
Though many countries have banned endosulfan, indications are that India
may not to do so at All India level, though the states of Kerala and
Karnataka have banned the use of endosulfan. The Supreme Court of India
has sought response from the Government of India on a petition seeking ban
on endosulfan pesticide across the country.
The agitation against endosulfan reached a feverish pitch in India with the
Chief Minister of Kerala going to the extent of resorting to a day long fast,
demanding that the Government Of India should ban the use of endosulfan
all over the country immediately.

The linkage between endosulfan and human miseries had come to the
surface for the first time in Kerala state in India in the 1980s, when several
cases of ailments and deaths were reported in the Kasargod district. .A few
years back, the National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOH) had
presented a report to the Government of India linking endosulfan to the
prevalence of health disorders.
Recently, another study found that the indiscriminate use of the endosulfan
in Kasargod in Kerala affected the biodiversity in the area. It was reported
that there was plant diversity between 40% and 70%, particularly for native
species compared to the natural habitat.
While there have been huge concern about the use of endosulfan in India
amongst environmentalists,. Indian pesticide industry have opposed listing
of endosulfan as a Persistant Organic Pollutant (POP) under the Stockholm
Convention.
Perhaps, the argument of Indian pesticide industry is that endosulfan has
been under use for several decades in India and not many accidents have
been reported. Obviously, the problems are due to the indiscriminate
spraying of endosulfan without following the stipulated
standards by the
innocent farmers and failure of pesticide industry to instruct and guide the
farmers suitably.
Any pesticide is a killer and it should not be used more than the stipulated
dosage level. There is need for balance between the necessity for use of
pesticides and limiting its use to the extent possible.
The Government of India should follow the stand taken by several countries
including those in European Union and ban the use of endosulfan in India,
particularly in the present conditions, when the pesticide industry and the
government agencies are unable to restrict the use of endosulfan within the
prescribed standards. There are other pesticides which can be used to
substitute for endosulfan and Indian pest control efforts will not come to a
halt with the ban on use of endosulfan.
Of course, the industries producing endosulfan in India would suffer. That is
the price that they have to pay for the environmental concern.

MUTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF DATA SYSTEM (MAD)

FOR CHEMICALS & CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
The OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data system is a multilateral pact which
can potentially save governments and chemical producers around 150
million every year by allowing the results of a variety of non-clinical
safety tests done on chemicals and chemical product such as industrial
chemicals and pesticides, to be shared across OECD and other signatory
countries.
As testing of chemicals is a labour-intensive and expensive process with
duplication being quite common as the same chemical is being tested and
assessed in several countries, the OECD Council adopted a decision way back in
1981 to relieve some of this burden.
Accordingly, it was agreed that data generated in a member country in
accordance with OECD Test Guidelines and Principles of Good Laboratory Practice
(GLP) should be accepted in other member countries for assessment purposes
and other uses pertaining to the protection of human health and the
environment.
A further Council Act was adopted in 1989 to provide safeguards for assurance
that the data is indeed developed in compliance with the Principles of GLP.
Subsequently, a 1997 Council decision on the Adherence of non-member
countries to the Council Acts related to the MAD in the assessment of chemicals
set out a step-wise procedure for non-OECD countries with significant chemical
industry to take part as full members in this system.
The MAD mandates that testing should be carried out using OECD standards for
test methods and for data quality. Governments need to verify compliance of
laboratories with the latter standard by using the OECD agreed producers. OECD
countries and now India, South Africa and Singapore have implemented
this system through the appropriate legislative and administrative procedures.
India joins OECD Pact
India would join the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) in the assessment of
chemicals being benchmarked by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation &
Development (OECD).
This would help pave the way for the removal of potential non-tariff trade barrier
between countries for marketing chemicals. India is the third emerging economy
to join this pact after South Africa and Brazil. India's entry into this pact would
ensure that the results of non-clinical chemical safety testing done in India would
be accepted in all other participating countries. Besides all the OECD members,
provisional adherents to the MAD system include Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia and
Thailand.
CASSAVA ROOT AS BIOFUEL

Cassava is being used for biofuel in China,
just as rapeseed is being used in Europe,
and sugar cane elsewhere.
Cassava is a relatively new entrant in the
biofuel stream.
The starchy cassava root has long been an
important ingredient in everything from
tapioca pudding and ice cream to paper
and animal feed.
But last year, 98% of cassava chips
exported from Thailand, the world's
largest cassava exporter, went to just one
place and almost all for one purpose: to
China to make biofuel. Driven by new
demand, the exports of cassava chips
have increased nearly fourfold since 2008,
and the price of cassava has roughly
doubled.
Each year, an ever larger portion of the world's crops cassava and corn,
sugar and palm oil is being diverted for biofuels as developed countries
pass laws mandating greater use of nonfossil fuels and as emerging countries
like China seek new sources of energy.
In the US, Congress has mandated that biofuel use must reach 36 billion
gallons annually by 2022. The European Union stipulates that 10% of
transportation fuel must come from renewable sources like biofuel or wind
power by 2020.
BLAST AT SIVAKASI FIREWORKS UNIT IN TAMIL NADU

Two women were killed and another injured in an explosion in a fireworks
unit in Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu.
The women were stringing together crackers when the blast occurred.
While one teenaged died on the spot, the other died at the Sivakasi
Government Hospital. The shed was destroyed.
The workers had allegedly been testing some samples and the sparks fell
on some stocks setting off the explosion.

SAFETY PROVISIONS IN NUCLEAR POWER PROJECTS

LESSONS FROM FUKUSHIMA
Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) has announced steps to
enhance safety in nuclear power projects.
The specialist panel appointed by the country's nuclear regulator Atomic
Energy Regulatory Board to assess safety provisions at existing atomic
power plants will comprehensively review the storage of spent fuel at all
nuclear power plant sites.
This is besides a reassessment of the general preparedness of the 20
operational reactor units to deal with exigencies such as the Fukushima
type disaster in Japan.
Spent fuel storage
In Japan, reports of serious

damage to the still-potent spent
fuel
at
Japan's
Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear plant's No. 4
reactor are creating new worries
for nuclear operators around the
world.
The spent fuel storage pools are
packed with radioactive uranium
and are housed near the reactors
to facilitate easy transfer of the
fuel rods.
Spent fuel pools are not housed in any sort of sealed containment and
instead the fuel rods are packed tightly together in pools of water. The spent
fuel rods give off considerable amounts of decay heat and thus must be
submerged in constantly circulating water or boric acid. If exposed to air for
a day or two, they begin to combust, giving off large amounts of radioactive
Caesium 137, a highly toxic, penetrating radioactive element with a half-life
of around 30 years.
The focus on spent fuel storage stems from the ongoing Japanese
experience, where reactor meltdown fears have now been overshadowed by
worries on the safety of spent fuel pools, which store the fuel rods after use
in the reactor.
11
SAFETY PROVISIONS IN NUCLEAR POWER PROJECTS- LESSONS FROM FUKUSHIMA

In existing stations in India, the spent fuel pools are generally stored in
proximity to the reactor units. Even for the proposed mega 9,900-MWe
Jaitapur project in Maharashtra, NPCIL plans to store the spent fuel in an
underwater storage facility adjoining the reactor building inside the project
premises, till the Government establishes a fuel reprocessing facility.
Equipping spent fuel pools with backup water-circulation systems and reserve
generators for the water-circulation system something that the Fukushima
reactors did not have is among the options. Others include a process called
dry cask storage, which Germany has tried out successfully, despite the
high costs it entails.
Dry cask storage
Germany adopted the dry cask storage around two decades ago. Instead of
storing huge amounts of spent fuel in pools with only roofs over them, small
amount of spent fuel rods are surrounded with inert gas inside large steel
casks. While these casks are said to be quite stable and secure, the process
is said to be highly expensive.
INDIAN COAL SHORTAGE

MAY TRIP 42,000 MW OF NEW PROJECTS
With domestic coal production floundering amid a sharp upsurge in power capacity
addition, over 40,000 MW of new generation capacity could get stranded over years
for want of fuel. This is close to 70 per cent of the power capacity slated to come up
during the period, most of which is being set up by private developers.
The projection, made in an uncharacteristically frank assessment of the impending
fuel shortage by the Power Ministry, at a recent advisory group meeting, blames
state-owned Coal India Ltd (CIL) for simply not having kept pace with the country's
demand for coal.
According to the estimates, coal-fired generation projects cumulatively adding up to
62,680 MW are slated to come up over the next five years, requiring an additional
313 million tonnes of coal. Against this, the incremental coal availability indicated by
CIL is only 100 million tonnes.
Based on the projected shortages, the new capacity that could be stranded works
out to 42,000 MW, according to the estimates. The current installed generation
capacity in the country is 173,626 MW.
For power generators, it is a Hobson's choice. While domestic coal availability is
tapering off, there are technical limitations to blending high-calorific imported coal in
the typical boilers used in domestic projects. So, without adequate domestic
supplies, stranded capacity is clearly on the cards.

PROSPECTS FOR LIQUID FUEL

In its June 2010 issue, the BP Statistical Review of World energy gave
the 2009 lifetimes (measured by the ratio of proven resource to current
production rate) as 45.7 years for oil and 62.8 years for gas, which do
not bode well for the future of a fossil fuel based global economy.
Liquid fuel from coal
A major problem for coal in the overall energy material context is that it
cannot replace oil as a vehicle fuel. However, this problem can be overcome
by converting the coal to liquid fuels by hydrogenation. Such conversion is
one of the main clean coal processes, using established processing
techniques as is gasification.
Coal usage will grow again if carbon capture and sequestration systems are
installed. These systems require fine filtration of the carbon dioxide before
its re-injection.
A return to a coal-based economy is feasible, employing coal refineries that
convert the solid coal to gases or to liquid fuels-with similar downstream
treatment technologies.
Liquid fuel from biomass
The essential feature of the feedstocks for biofuels vegetable matter is that
they are renewable, i.e. that they can be replaced, farily quickly, having been
formed by the sun. For many plant-based materials, this means on an
annual basis, although two crops a year should be the target wherever
possible.
From the point of view of energy material generation, the processing of
materials derived from vegetable matter (and to a much lesser extent, from
animal by-products) is of two kinds:
*
The combustion of biomass as a solid fuel, and
The conversion of the biomass to liquid fuels.
Liquid fuels are produced from biomass in three ways.

The first takes the whole plant material and coverts it, by pyrolysis, to a
mixture of gaseous and liquid products that can be refined to produce a
range of fuel products. This is an old process, called wood distillation and
the one that was the basis for the organic chemical industry, before its
replacement by petroleum derivatives.
13
PROSPECTS FOR LIQUID FUEL

It is now being developed by the use of catalysts to control the range of
materials produced. Since the process is quite suited to the conversion of
vegetable wastes to oils, it must be considered as a viable process in any
complete survey of liquid biofuel production.
The more active methods for the production of liquid fuels from vegetable matter
use two very different processes to produce two quite different fuels. The first
process employs the fermentation of sugar-containing materials to produce
bioethanol (or biobutanol), in a manner akin to the brewing of beer. The raw
materials can be cereals such as wheat, barley or maize, whose starch content
must first be hydrolysed to sugars or the sugar crops, beet or cane. These raw
materials are all food crops and this means that biofuel production would be
competing with food production.
Most vegetable matter exists not as fruits or seeds, but as stalks and leaves,
which also contain cellulose, but in a less available form (lignocelluloses). If this
material can be fermented, then a much larger source of raw material, otherwise
a waste, become available without the need to compete with food crops.
Enzymatic hydrolysis is being developed to convert the lignocelluloses to
fermentable sugars.
Chemical treatment of vegetable oil
The same competition with food crops is seen with the other liquid fuel process,
which produces biodiesel by the chemical treatment of vegetable oils (including
waste vegetable oil and animal fats).
The raw oil is extracted from oilseed plants such as soybeen, castor bean,
sunflower seed, rape seed, maize and oil palm (from fruit or kernel). The
produced fuel is called biodiesel because, in a vehicle engine, it looks and
behaves like petroleum-derived diesel, but it is very different in a chemical
sense. Petroleum diesel is a mixture of hydrocarbons, whereas biodiesel is a
mixture of (mainly methyl) esters of long-chain fatty acids. As such, biodiesel
has a lower energy content per unit volume than petroleum diesel, but it also is
less viscous and burns more cleanly, with production of fewer soot particles.
At the present time, biodiesel is being produced from the above list of oilseed
plants, most of which are used also for food manufacture. Work is being done,
however, to produce the oils from plants that are not needed for food (such as
rapeseed) and especially those that can be grown in poor soil such as jatropha.
Both liquid fuel processes require large land areas on which to grow their raw
material, which is why the development of plants growing well in poor soil is
important.
Bioethanol can only be used in relatively small proportions in
automobile engines, without changing the engine design.

ANTIMATTER: A FUTURE FUEL

Dr. S. S. VERMA
E-mail:ssverma@fastmail.fm
Antimatter is nothing but regular matter with its fundamental charges
reversed.
In regular or normal matter, electrons protons and neutrons are there
as the subatomic particles but in antimatter, antiproton and antineutron
are there respectively. The physical properties of both the particles and
their antiparticles are same but their charges are reversed.
It is said that the universe is composed of more than 70% as antimatter
and 30% as matter.
Antimatter can be used as a fuel because when matter comes in contact with
antimatter, they both convert their total mass into energy and this energy
can be used as fuel.
Energy potential
When antimatter combines with ordinary matter (implosion of antimatter
contacting matter), mutual annihilation occurs, with the release of vast
amount of energy, far greater even than that produced by thermonuclear
fusion.
Of the energy generated, only about 50% energy can be utilized, with the
existing technology practices known. This is still favourable. This means that
one kg of matter reacting with
one kg of antimatter can create the
equivalent energy of 47megatons of TNT (=21017 J).
The energy produced with one kg of antimatter and taking its 50% as useful
can be enough to meet the energy demand of the world (@ of 8x105J
demand) for 2.5x1011 years.
Developments so far
Although the production of antiprotons and anti-electrons is now routine, it
has proved difficult to force an anti-electron into an orbit around an
antiproton, thereby creating an atom of antihydrogen.
The difficulty is that these particles must be spawned from very high-energy collisions
between normal particles and the resulting antiparticles leave the collisions with very
high energies themselves. The energies of these particles are usually about six billion
electron-volts and at such high energies, electrons simply refuse to fall into stable orbits
around atomic nuclei and swiftly fly off.
15
ANTIMATTER: A FUTURE FUEL

Although the manufacture of anti hydrogen will be very expensive, it is now
possible, at least in principle, to produce antihydrogen in substantial
quantities. If used as fuel, it could be stored in the form of anti hydrogen
ice.
Scientists predict that an ice ball of anti hydrogen at temperature of only two
degrees above the absolute zero held in a container made of ordinary matter
at the same temperature would not explode. Thus, the dream of driving a
rocket to the stars on a pin-head quantity of antimatter fuel has come a step
closer to reality with successful tests by scientists in Canada and Germany of
a method for making anti hydrogen.
NASA scientists have announced early designs for an antimatter engine that
can generate enormous thrust with only small amount of antimatter fueling
it.
Future prospects
Antimatter can be one of the main power sources used in the future if some
of the major concerns about it and its use are overcome.
First is its cost of generation as it costs $62.5 trillion to create any amount of
antimatter and it is only made in small amounts for safety.
If there would be a way to safely distribute antimatter without fear of an
implosion, then it can be used to overcome emerging energy crisis.

PROSPECTS FOR SHALE GAS IN INDIA

Schlumberger, an international service company, pegs India's initial
in-place shale gas reserves at 300 to 2100 TCFmuch higher than
Indias current gas reserves of about 39.4 TCF, according to BP
Statistical Review.
Merely being endowed with a resource will not ensure prosperity for
the country .That would largely be governed by how India would
choose to convert the resource to commercial benefits.
The Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas of Government of India
in mid-March, informed the Parliament in a written reply that the government
has initiated action to identify prospective areas of shale gas resources as
well as to formulate a policy for its exploration and exploitation.
Apart from the overall policy framework, it would be imperative to pay special
attention to the design of fiscal policy and environmental norms that could
accelerate the progress of shale gas development. Thus, success of the Indian
shale gas industry would largely be a function of Governments policy.
To make it attractive to the overseas companies, the government can extend

the tax holiday vis-a-vis its conventional seven-year horizon..
Technology source
Shale gas, unlike conventional gas, will require substantial interventions from
the international companies who have the right technological strategy.
17
PROSPECTS FOR SHALE GAS IN INDIA

Characterisation of shale gas wells
Shale gas wells, invariably, exhibit an early peak production and then a rapid
decline. Moreover, according to the IEA, the variation in productivity from well to
well is significantly greater than is usually encountered in conventional reservoirs.
Similarly, the interplay between investments, production and cash flow for shale gas
is very different vis-a-vis conventional gas. Shale gas development and production is
not time consuming and players have the potential to act as a swing player. These
peculiar characteristics of shale gas will affect the economy of the shale gas
industry. The government will do well to be more accommodative and devise a
dynamic fiscal policy.
The new shale gas policy should provide incentives to companies that are developing
conventional resources to look for and develop shale resources as well.
Environmental issues
Perhaps, the biggest challenge would be to address the environmental implications of
shale gas development. Environmental externalities of shale gas have been a major
impediment to its rapid penetration across regions.
Shale gas development is water intensive. According to preliminary estimates, more
than five million gallons of water is required per well. Moreover, shale gas
development generates large quantities of spent water. The spent water contains
chemical residues and traces of some radioactive elements that occur inside the
geological formations.
Re-injection of spent water is one solution; but, it is fraught with risk as
contamination of groundwater aquifers is a high probability.
While the US Safe Drinking Water Act excluded activities such as injection of fluids in
hydraulic fracturing, a key constituent of shale gas development, it is important that
the best practices should be implemented.
The current re-injection Act requires the re-injected fluid to comply only with respect
to suspended solids, oil and grease.
Strangely, it doesn't include dissolved chemicals a key constituent of spent water.
It would also be important that the government mandates companies to disclose the
chemical composition, if not the actual formula, of all the chemicals that would be
utilised in fracturing. This would help better regulate the environmental implications.
Governments approach
Thus, the government would have to tread carefully between fiscal policy and
environmental stipulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
IN SHALE GAS DRILLING
A blowout at a gas well in popular camping spot, in the woods of the Punxsutawney
hunt club, also in Clearfield County in Pennsylvania, USA, had shot a 23-metre
(75ft) combustible gusher of gas and toxic waste water into the air.
It took the gas company, EOG Resources, 16 hours to control the well and the
authorities had to carry out an evacuation.
The US government is now beginning to undertake a review of the chemicals that are
used in hydraulic fracturing or "fracking", the relatively recent technique used to release
vast stores of natural gas buried underground.
The technique uses millions of litres of water, sand and a battery of chemicals
including carcinogens such as benzene injected at high pressure to fracture the rock
and release the stored gas.
Environmental groups have exposed several persistent dangers: leaks in wells owing to
faulty casing or migration through layers or rock; breaches in the above-ground tanks
meant to store used drilling chemicals; and a rise in air emissions.
Carbon foot print of shale gas
Meanwhile, a report due to be published in the Climate Change journal from a team at
Cornell University, in New York, challenged one of the fuel's main selling points that
shale gas is a low-carbon fuel. The study found that the carbon footprint for shale gas
was far greater than conventional oil or gas or even coal especially over the next 20
years.
Drilling in Pennsylvania, USA
Pennsylvania sits atop one of the world's largest deposits of natural gas, a formation
known as the Marcellus shale and the past five years have seen a takeoff in the natural
gas industry.
Last year alone, oil and gas companies such as Shell, Chevron, Reliance and BG Group
(the Reading-based company that is one half of the former British Gas) spent $17.9bn
(10.8bn) into projects in the area. They drilled 1,415 new wells in Pennsylvania alone.
The companies expect to drill 2,000 additional wells this year, rising to 3,500 a year by
the middle of the decade.
In the northern town of Bradford in USA, entire streets have been outfitted with gas
meters as precautions against methane gas migration.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES IN SHALE GAS DRILLING

A number of towns have had to warn locals to boil tap water before drinking , after water
treatment plants were compromised by bromides in waste water from gas-drilling
projects.
Environmentalists argue that Pennsylvania state is caught off guard by the rapid
expansion of shale gas drilling. The laws on the books were drawn up in an area of
shallow wells which in Pennsylvania's case dates back to the mid-19th century and
the regulators are not equipped to deal with the technological advances of hydraulic
fracturing or with the increased activity, says the environmentalists.
Environmentalists fear that 22,000 square mile gas field across Pennsylvania will affect
all of rivers and all wells in the area

SHALE GAS FACILITY OF SASOL

Sasol will acquire a 50% interest in the Cypress A assets from Talisman Energy
(Calgary) at the Montney, BC shale play for C$1.05 billion ($1.03 billion).
It is Sasols second shale acquisition in North America and is expected to close in the
third quarter of 2011.
The deal includes 57,000 acres of land covered by Cypress A with an estimated
contingent resource of 11.2 trillion cu feet (tcf).
Sasol will hold an estimated aggregate 10.4 tcf of contingent resources in the Montney
Basin, on closing of the deal.
Sasol entered the North American shale gas market in December 2010 when it acquired
a 50% interest in Talismans Farrell Creek assets, also located at the Montney Basin, for
C$1.05 billion.
Sasol and Talisman will conduct a feasibility study around the economic viability of a
facility in western Canada to convert natural gas to liquid fuels, under the terms of the
deal. The facility would use Sasols gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology, which has the
potential to provide an alternative to traditional North American pipeline or liquified
natural gas (LNG) marketing. Sasol will continue to pursue the establishment of a GTL
plant in western Canada. Combining the Cypress A acquisition with the Farrell Creek
acquisition will allow scalability of such a GTL plant, Sasol says.

SHALE GAS FACILITY OF PPG INDUSTRIES

PPG Industries will lease its property at Natrium, WV to Gastar Exploration (Houston) for
the development of Marcellus Shale natural gas resources. Gastar will have full
responsibility for drilling and related activities on the PPG property. More than 30 wells
are planned, with construction and drilling activities expected to begin in the third quarter
of this year.Along with the existing leasehold in Marshall and Wetzel Counties, these
leases help Gastar create a large, contiguous block of acreage that can be efficiently
and profitably developed for the benefit of PPGs and Gastars shareholders.

PLANS OF COAL INDIA FOR COAL BED METHANE

Coal India is planning to invite CBM (coal-bed-methane) players to
capture methane in the five existing underground mines in the Jharia
and Bokaro coalfields in Jharkhand.
The project will ensure mine safety while expanding operations and use
the captured gas for captive generation or other productive purposes.
The project proposed is similar to CBM operations but more expensive
and relatively complex.
According to the plan, Coal India will invite operators to degassify the
unexplored lower seams of five gassy mines and use the captured methane
for productive end use on a cost-plus' basis.
The project will help Coal India increase production from the mines, while
ensuring safety aspects as well as avoiding the environmental consequences
of releasing methane in the air.
The basic process of the proposed project is similar to the CBM activity where
operators drill wells in virgin blocks, fracture the coal seams and collect
methane for a 25-30 year period.
Complications may arise on two counts. Firstly, since the primary aim of the
project is to pave the way for mining, gas needs to be pumped out within
three-four years, requiring a higher concentration of production wells leading
to higher investment.
Moreover, these blocks are already mined. Accordingly, the drilling
technology as well as the depth and type of wells differ from a CBM asset.
Considering the high capital outlay required in implementing such projects
vis--vis the limited scope of commercialisation of gas, internationally, mine
operators resort to carbon trading as a means to improve the financial
benefits of such projects.
In the past, coal miners have used different techniques to dilute the
concentration of the mine methane by injecting fresh air and releasing the
diluted gas in the air. However, such practices are now discouraged as
methane is considered 22 times more harmful for the environment than
carbon-dioxide.
Coal India has already set up a pilot project at Muridih in Jharkhand to
capture mine methane and use it for generating electricity.

ONGC REWORKS
COAL BED METHANE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
ONGC is considering fresh strategies for coal bed methane (CBM)
development, nearly two decades after initiating exploration and spending
hundreds of crores of rupees in largely unsuccessful attempts to bring the
assets into production.
On the cards are pruning the portfolio to manageable levels; adopting
realistic production targets and inclusion of technology partners from players
in the CBM sector.
While the number of blocks has already been pruned from nine to four
(including recent applications for relinquishment of South Karanpura and
North Karanpura-West), ONGC is in the process of taking a realistic view on
the development potential of its two nomination blocks in Jharia (Jharkhand)
and Ranigunj (West Bengal).
Parbatpur area in Jharia, where ONGC was implementing its $200-million
CBM project, is now largely under captive mining. Similarly, nearly 60 per
cent of 350-sq.km Ranigunj block is now set to be mined. In addition, the
airport city of Bengal Aerotropolis is also coming up in the region.
As doubts linger over the development potential of Ranigunj and Jharia,
ONGC is pinning hopes on Bokaro in Jharkhand.
The company had in November 2010 submitted a development plan for the
block, and is expecting the plan to be approved by the Directorate General of
Hydrocarbons (DGH) next month.

CBM EXTRACTION VENTURE IN JHARKHAND

Electrosteel Castings Ltd (ECL) has entered into a joint venture agreement with
Brisbane-registered Dart Energy Ltd for exploration, development, production and
sale of coal bed methane (CBM) from ECL's captive coal mine at Parbatpur in the
Jharia Basin of Jharkhand.
Geological studies on the Parbatpur mine have identified 18 coal seams in the
Barakar Formation, named after Barakar River, with a cumulative thickness of over
80 metres at depths between 200 and 1,100 metres. The Parbatpur coal seams
have high gas content and gas saturation close to 100 per cent, requiring
extraction of the CBM ahead of mining for regulatory and mine safety purposes.
The venture will extract methane from the 8.8-sq km mining lease area of ECL.
Dart will operate the methane development and extraction exercise and will have
30 per cent stake in the JV. ECL will hold the balance 70 per cent of equity in the
JV.
ECL will fund the costs of gas extraction and share the economic benefits in
proportion to their respective participating interests.
ECL has agreed to an initial appraisal programme of two core holes and six pilot
wells in 2011, to be followed by a well development programme that is expected
to include over 30 wells in the following years.
Given the high gas contents and coal thicknesses, a vertical well completion
technology has been planned by Dart.
Dart's capital contribution has been estimated around $2 million in 2011 and a
further $10 million to cover subsequent development expenditure. Dart expected
to achieve an annual field production of around three billion cubic feet (BCF)
when all wells would be ready for extraction.
Dart expects that first gas from the pilot wells will come later in 2011.
Under the agreement, any produced gas can be sold immediately. Dart said
given the potential, first gas sales could happen as early as January 2012.
Dart and ECL are already in advanced discussions with domestic compressed
natural gas players for gas off-take contracts. ECL has the option to acquire
produced gas for use at ECL upcoming steel plant in Bokaro district of
Jharkhand.
Dart had commissioned an independent evaluator Sewell and Associates Inc of
the Netherlands for assessment of the gas resources in the ECL mining area.
According to Sewell's evaluation report, the best estimate gas-in-place (gross)
suggested that the area contains 168 BCF. The gross contingent resources (2C)
were found to be 62 BCF. The best of gross prospective resources was 50 BCF.

SCRAP TYRE UTILIZATION

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
With the tyre manufacturing industry expanding which is driven by the auto market
boom, plenty of scrap tyres are being generated.
Since the price of natural rubber remains high, taking full advantage of waste rubber
resources would be of great significance and provide excellent investment
opportunities.
Since used tyres can be retreaded as long as
the carcass is not damaged, tyre retreading is
the most direct, effective and economical way
to recycle rubber.
For used tyre that cannot be retreaded, they
can be used as it is or shredded and used as
raw materials or used as burning fuel. By
pyrolysis, the tyres are reduced primarily into
products such as; carbon black, fuel oil, steel
and other hydrocarbon gases.
In order to achieve sound scrap tyre utilization, there is need to establish complete
waste tyre recycling system all over the country.
Ecological issues
Scrap tyres are commonly recognized as a hazardous waste internationally. It is
impossible to eliminate all the hazards simply through a cleaning and disinfection
process. Recycling and utilization of scrap tyres should be focused as the most
appropriate way of handling the waste tyres in an environmentally friendly way
Process flow for recycling tyres
Pyrolysis process
Pyrolysis usually means the chemical decomposition of organic materials by heating in
the absence of oxygen or any other reagents.
The waste tyre is fed into the reactor vessel and heated under controlled conditions of
temperature and pressure.
The process will bring about molecular restructuring of the rubber under the pyrolysis
process. As the result, furnace oil in gaseous form is produced along with other gases.
These vaporized gases are passed through heat exchanges, where in the furnace oil
gas is condensed into liquid form.
24

During the process, carbon black is generated
The heat exchanger uses coolant water as the condensing medium and this water is
re circulated.
25

Output products derived from scrap tyre
The main oil product produced by recycling application is the fuel oil that is used for
industrial and commercial purposes. The oil has 40% to 45% of the amount of recycled
scrap tyres.
Carbon black (30 to 35%)
Carbon Black is the main product of recycling by pyrolysis technology. The amount of
recycled carbon black is 35%-42% (depending on the type of tyre) of the total amount of
scrap tyres recycled in the system.
Carbon black is used as raw material or main ingredient in many industries and the
chemical structure of carbon black strengthens, lengthens the endurance and improves
the coloring features of the materials.
Carbon black produced by pyrolysis application is claimed to be more economical
compared to carbon black produced primarily from petroleum and is claimed to be more
price competitive for use an ingredient in the industries such as the following.
Electric cable jacketing

Conveyor band
Carrier Bands
Hose and doormat
Black nylon bag
Rubber additive
Automotive spare parts
Heat isolation
Black colorant in rubber materials
Plastic pipe
Industrial rubber products
Fire fighting
Steel wire (10-15%)

Tyres contain steel wires and the amount ranges from 10% to 15% of the total tyre
weight. All of the steel present in the tyre can be detached after the pyrolysis recycling
process is completed. Valuable steel wires are pressed and sold to steel and scrap
dealers.
Gas (10 to 12%)
*
Non-Condensable gases arise during the recycling application which provide the
following advantages.
*
*
*
Has a higher calorific value compared to natural gas

Can replace natural gas and propane
Can be used as energy resource in gas burners, also used in pyrolysis system
26

Practices in selected countries
In developed countries, the processing of waste rubber not only offsets the
cost of raw materials, but are given some subsidies.
United States of America: Each state has its waste tyre disposal regulations.
The current stock of scrap tyres in the United States has decreased
dramatically. More than 90% of scrap tyres are recycled, mainly for the
production of rubber powder, recycled rubber and thermal energy utilization.
Through legislation, both tyre manufacturers and dealers have their
corresponding social responsibilities for disposing scrap tyres.
Canada: Each province has introduced its own measures to promote the
establishment of waste tyre recycling organizations to reasonably recycle
used tyres. Canada government provides financial support to enterprises
engaged in waste tyre processing. The aim of the effort is to promote more
environmentally sound and more advanced production technology in those
enterprises.
France: Through various means such as tax cuts and subsidies, start-up and
operation of scrap tyre recycling business is supported and research and
development in this field is encouraged. Owing to these policies, a number
of technological innovations for scrap tyre recycling and recycled rubber
production and application have been put forth.
China
In China, over 80% of waste rubber is reused. The ratio is on a par with that
in developed countries.
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (MIIT) issued
Guidelines on Comprehensive Utilization of Scrap tyres aimed at advancing
the sustainable development of the rubber industry.
By 2015, the domestic technology of retreading tyres should improve, 25%
of truck tyres and 30% of giant off-the-road tyres will be the percent of scrap
tyre processing in tune with the environmental protection standards will
reach 80%; recycled rubber products will develop steadily and their annual
output will reach 3 million tonnes; the annual output of rubber powder will
reach one million tonnes; the annual output of pyrolyzed tyres will reach
120 000 tonnes;
About ten well known enterprises engaged in the comprehensive utilization of
scrap tyres will be encouraged.

Antidumping duty
The Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry of Government of India
has recommended imposition of interim anti-dumping duty on import of
Sodium Tripoly Phosphate from China, following a complaint from Tata
Chemicals Ltd, alleging dumping of STPP causing material injury to the
domestic manufacturer.
After investigations, the Authority found that the STPP from China have
entered the country at prices less than their normal value in the domestic
market of the exporting country and the dumping margins of the STPP from
China are substantial and above de minimis.
As a result, the domestic industry has suffered material injury triggered by
both volume and price effect of dumped imports from China. Accordingly, the
Authority deemed it necessary to recommend imposition of interim antidumping duty on the STPP export from China to India.
Based on preliminary findings, the Directorate General of Anti-dumping and
Allied Duties (DGAD) recommended a provisional duty of up to $0.671 per kg
on import of Sodium Tripolyphosphate from China.

A budget of RMB500 million was planned for the relocation. The plant will be
constructed in the new site with 200 000 tonnes per annum capacity to
produce sodium tripolyphosphate, special purpose phosphoric acid and other
phosphates.
Before relocation, the plant was capable of producing 150 000 tonnes per
annum phosphoric acid, 100 000 tonnes per annum STPP, 10 000 tonnes
per annum sodium pyrophosphate, 5 000 tonnes per annum di-sodium
dihydrogen pyrophosphate, (mono-, di- and tri-) sodium phosphate, 10 000
tonnes per annum hydrogen peroxide.

Process
STPP is made by a process that include the following steps

i.
Production of phosphoric acid from phosphate rock
ii.
Production of STPP from phosphoric acid, by reaction of phosphoric
acid with
a sodium alkali, usually soda ash
iii.
Yellow phosphorous and soda ash are used as starting material for the
production of STPP in China
Prognosis
In USA, dishwasher segment is growing well in detergent sector, followed by
food ingredients. The usage of STPP in laundry detergents is being phased
out to some extent with substitutes in USA.
The regulatory or voluntary withdrawal of STPP in Europe does not mean the
complete elimination of STPP in detergents. Each country specifies the
maximum concentration of STPP ranging from 0.5 %. Most of the detergents
in Europe market still use STPP at minimum concentration. In Western
Europe, the dish washer segment continues to use STPP. The use pattern of
zeolite / STPP in detergent application in Europe is now matured.
In Europe, ceramic industry uses good quantity of STPP.
In Asia pacific, STPP is used largely in laundry detergents.
In India, STPP predominantly finds application in the production of
detergents. The other important areas of applications include ceramics and
food industries. The application areas are highly relevant to the industrial and
economic growth pattern. Therefore, the demand for STPP would go up in
tune with the overall industrial and economic growth pattern.

On the consumer front, there has been debate surrounding the safety of poly
carbonate food containers and baby bottles containing BPA. Some BPA may
leach from these materials, giving rise to concerns over its endocrine
disrupting properties.
The European Union (EU) will ban polycarbonate containing bisphenol A for
use in baby feeding bottles from June 1, 2011. The ruling was made in
response to health concerns related to the effects of BPA on children, in
particular potential damage to childrens immune system and development.
The proposed ban was agreed recently by a committee of government
experts from EU member states.
EPA has announced several actions aimed at boosting its oversight of
bisphenol A, including focusing on the environmental impact of BPA and
adding BPA to the agencys new chemicals of concern list. However, EPA
says that it has no current plans to initiate a Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) regulation for BPA.
Global demand
Global installed capacity:
Around 5.2 million metric tonnes per annum
Global demand -
Around 4.2 million metric tonnes per annum
Growth rate in demand:

Polycarbonate (PC) resins are the largest and fast growing BPA market,
consuming 60% of the global production. Polycarbonate demand is expected
to increase steadily due to strong demand for high impact plastics used in
automotive and consumer markets, especially for compact disks.
Epoxy resins, the second largest Bisphenol A end-use, are used in growth
oriented sector such as flexible plackaging, adhesives, laminates and
encapsulants for electronic components.

Mitsui Chemicals
Mitsui Chemicals has postponed plans to build a second phenol and bisphenol
A (BPA) complex in Singapore because of the economic downturn.
Its existing complex in Singapore is designed to produce 230,000 tonnes per
year of BPA; 300,000 tonnes per year of phenol; and 180,000 tonnes per
year of acetone.
Saudi Kayan
Saudi Kayan began production in July 2010, when it started up a 1.5 million
tonnes per year ethylene plant at Jubail. The company has since
commissioned a number of downstream units including plants producing
ethylene glycol, high-density polyethylene, phenol and acetone and
polypropylene. Other plants at the complex will produce bisphenol A,
ethanolamines, ethoxylates, and polycarbonate.
Bayer
Bayer is expected to begin commercial production at its newly-expanded
280,000 tonne per year bisphenol A (BPA) and 275,000 tonne per year
polycarbonate (PC) units in Mab Ta Phut in Thailand
Process outline
Bisphenol A is produced by the condensation of phenol and acetone in the
presence of an acid catalyst (hydrogen chloride) and with usually a promoter
such as methyl mercaptan.
Cation exchange resins can replace the acid catalyst in newer plants.
After the reaction and recovery of acid and phenol, BPA is washed with
water, neutralised with milk of lime and distilled under vacuum.
Newer processes employ distillation and extractive crystallisation under
pressure to purify the BPA.
Prognosis
Bisphenol-A is an important building block finding application in variety of
down stream products. The demand is likely to go up in tune with the
industrial growth.
The import is likely to continue and increase in India in the coming years.

NEWS ROUND UP INTERNATIONAL

Controversy over Birla Carbon's Columbian Chem buy
Birla Carbon, the subsidiary of the Aditya Birla Group, acquired the Atlanta-based firm
Columbian Chemicals in January from One Equity Partners, the merchant-banking arm
of J.P. Morgan Chase.
Columbian Chemicals is, like Birla Carbon, a producer of carbon black used in the
production of tyres, plastics, cables and coatings. The acquisition leapfrogs the Indian
firm from fourth to one of the top positions in this market globally.
Britain's anti-trust regulator is calling for the EU to investigate Birla Carbon's $875-million
acquisition of US firm Columbian Chemicals.
In a letter addressed to Director-General of Competition at the European Commission,
last month, the Office of Fair Trading requested that the UK angle of the deal be
investigated at the EU level. The commission has already been approached by
Germany.
Birla Carbon acquired Columbian Chemicals through Netherlands-based Indigold
Carbon. The OFT said it estimated that as a result of the deal, Birla Carbon would
acquire an up to 35 per cent market share of all carbon black in the UK. The OFT
considers that it is likely to have domestic jurisdiction in this case since the parties'
combined share of the supply is estimated by them to be greater than 25 per cent for
carbon black for tyres, carbon black for rubber, and for all carbon black.
The regulator pointed to the fact that Birla had widespread operations in Europe
including refilling stations in Spain, Italy, Belgium and the UK.

PVDF
Solvay will invest $36.3 million to increase capacity for Solef polyvinylidene fluoride
(PVDF) at its Tavaux, France manufacturing complex. Completion of the project, which
follows a 2009 expansion by 30%, is scheduled for the second half of 2012.
The product is used in oil and gas extraction, as binders and in separators in Li-ion
batteries, photovoltaics, semiconductors and in water purification membranes.
Global demand for PVDF has grown by more than 10% per year in the past five years.

Sodium methylate plant in Argentina
BASF plans to build a 60,000- tonnes per year sodium methylate plant at its Rosario,
Argentina site.
The plant will be the companys second sodium methylate facility in South America.. The
first sodium methylate plant will also have capacity for 60,000 tonnes per year, and will
start up at the end of this year at Guaratinguet, Brazil.
43

Sodium methylate is an efficient catalyst for the production of biodiesel, allowing high
yields
*****
Acrylic acid and acrylate derivatives plant in Brazil
BASF plans to build an acrylic acid, butyl acrylate and superabsorbent polymers
manufacturing complex in Brazil.
The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with Braskem to secure
long-term supply of propylene feedstock as well as provision of utilities.
Construction is expected to begin next year with completion targeted for 2014-15.
BASF is conducting a feasibility study to evaluate the technical, commercial, and
economic viability of operating a 160,000- tonnes per year acrylic acid plant and
derivative units in Brazil. The study, due for completion this year, will determine which
facilities will be included as well as their capacities.
BASF produces butyl acrylate in Brazil but it has no acrylic acid and superabsorbent
polymers production in South America and all of those products are imported into the
region. BASFs butyl acrylate complex is at Guaratinguet, near So Paulo.
BASF is the global leading producer of acrylic acid with combined capacity for 1.19
million tonnes per year, including 320,000 tonnes per year each at Antwerp and
Ludwigshafen; 230,000 tonnes per year at Freeport, TX; 160,000 tonnes per year at
Nanjing, China; and 160,000 tonnes per year at Kuantan, Malaysia. BASF plans to
double capacity of the acrylic acid plant at Nanjing.

Ethane from natural gas
Nova Chemicals has signed a memorandum of understanding for the supply of ethane
from Caiman Energys (Dallas) Fort Beeler gas processing plant near Cameron, WV, in
USA.
Caiman Energy will expand the Fort Beeler plant to facilitate extraction of ethane from
natural gas and Nova will purchase up to 20,000 bbl per day of the ethane on a longterm basis under the terms of the agreement.
The ethane will be supplied to Novas Sarnia, ON petrochemical complex, which
typically runs a heavier feedslate. The company has been looking for ways to boost
ethane supply to feed its crackers, as lower natural gas prices have decreased the
volume of natural gas flowing from the U.S. and reduced ethane availability in Canada.
Nova recently completed a deal with Hess and Mistral Energy (Calgary) to purchase and
transport ethane produced at Hesss Tioga, ND gas plant via a proposed pipeline to
Novas Joffre, AB complex. The initial pipeline capacity is expected to be about 45,000
bbl per day of ethane and will be expandable to about 60,000 bbl per day to handle
future ethane supply. Start-up is expected in the third quarter of 2012.

Project for Cellulosic ethanol
Cellulosic ethanol is produced from biomass that is initially broken down into
a pulp. Enzymes are added, turning cellulose in the biomass into sugar that
can be fermented into ethanol.
Mossi & Ghisolfi Group (M&G), Tortona, Italy would build 13-million gallon
per year cellulosic ethanol plant at Crescentino, Italy. The plant will be 10
times bigger than the largest demonstration facilities in operation and it will
be designed to operate on a multitude of cellulosic feedstocks. The facility,
which is scheduled to start production in 2012, will consume wheat straw,
energy crops, and other sources of biomass.
The price of the ethanol produced from the plant will be competitive with
gasoline, M&G says. The Crescentino plant will be self-sufficient in power.
Lignin, a coproduct extracted from biomass during the ethanol production
process, will be burned in an adjacent power plant. Excess electricity will be
supplied to the Italian national grid.
Novozymes, the largest producer of industrial enzymes, has collaborated with
M&G for the past few years and it will supply enzymes to the cellulosic
ethanol plant. Novozymes enzymes supplied to the plant will generate sales
of $2 million-$6 million per year.
Biofuel made from lignocellulosic biomass is no longer a distant pipe-dream.
The technology is ready and plants will be built and run on commercial scale,
offering a compelling alternative to conventional gasoline.

NEW REGULATIONS
FOR POLYSILICON INDUSTRY IN CHINA
The Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology, along with other ministries,
has released a circular detailing the
entry barriers for the polysilicon industry
in a bid to promote energy conservation,
phase out obsolete capacity and
technology, adjust structure and bolster
safety. The new rules have been
effective since March 2011.
The rules require a 30% minimum of total investment for new and expansion
projects and imposed strict control on new polysilicon projects in areas short
of energy and with high power tariffs.
Greenfield polysilicon plants are barred from being built within 1 000 meters
of farmland protection areas, natural reserves, scenic spots, water source
protection zones, residential areas, as well as in state or regional planned
ecological function areas. Existing plants in the above regions are required
to gradually relocate to other places or halt production.
The government also unveiled requirements on production scale and
technology.
The prerequisites included a minimum annual production scale of 3 000
tonnes per annum for solar grade polysilicon plants and 1 000 tonnes per
annum for semiconductor grade plants. All polysilicon producers are required
to use advanced, energy efficient and environmental friendly technology and
equipment along with safety facilities.
Greenfield polysilicon projects should occupy less than 6 hectare for each
1 000 tonnes per annum production plant.
The power consumption of solar grade plants should be reduced to 60 kWh
by the end of this year for producing 1 kilogram of polysilicon. That for
semiconductor grade plants using Czochralski process should move down to
below 100kWh per kilogram and that for semiconductor grade plants using
the float-zone method to 120 kWh per kilogram.
48
CHINA NEWS
The circular also required plants to recycle at least 98.5% of waste silicon
tetrachloride and 99% of hydrogen chloride and hydrogen.
The government would encourage polysilicon producers to build power plants
and use the more efficient solar grade polysilicon technology to lower costs.
Solar grade polysilicon lines with energy consumption above 200 kWh will be
shut down before the end of the year.
Companies are also required to recycle at least 95% of waste water.
Around four-fifths of Chinas polysilicon producers are small companies with
annual capacity of just hundreds of tonnes. Most of these companies would
have to close by the end of 2011 as they fail requirements in scale and
efficiency.
About 10 large scale polysilicon manufacturers in China would emerge after
the new rules. The domestic production cost will be capped at around
US$30 per kilogram of polysilicon, close to the average level in international
markets.
The government hopes that the new rules will help the solar industry to
achieve grid parity-the point at which alternative means of generating
electricity is at least as cheap as grid power-as soon as possible.
*****
Nylon Plant
Invista will move forward with plans to build a nylon-6,6 intermediates and
polymers complex at Shanghai with start-up expected in 2014. The plant will
use the companys butadiene-based technology to produce hexamethylene
diamine (HMD) and adiponitrile (ADN), as well as nylon-6,6 polymers.
Invista first announced the plant in 2007 with start-up slated for 2010 but
the project was delayed due to the economic downturn. The company is
currently engaged in project engineering, which includes an environmental
impact assessment to be completed by the end of 2011. Construction is
expected to begin in 2012.
Global capacity for HMD was about 1.62 million tonnes
per year and
worldwide ADN capacity was about 1.46 million tonnes per year in 2010.
Global HMD demand is expected to grow about 2.6% per year through 2015,
to about 1.32 million tonnes per year and worldwide demand for ADN is
forecast to grow about 1.5% per year to about 1.2 million tonnes per year
by 2015, SRIC says.

building three mononitrobenzene (MNB) plants at separate locations in China.
The plants will have combined capacity for 1.2 million tonnes per year and will
be completed in late 2012. Most of the output from the plants will be used to
feed aniline plants to expand Wanhuas existing and new MDI manufacturing
facilities.
The company has selected Noram

Engineerings
(Vancouver,
BC)
technology and key equipment items for
the plants, which will be built at Linfen,
Ningbo and Yantai. The Yantai plant will
be designed to produce 720,000 tonnes
per year of MNB and Linfen and Ningbo
will have capacity for 240,000 tonnes
per year each. Wanhua will source
benzene feedstock from local suppliers.
The company has 800,000 tonnes per
year of combined MDI capacity across
the three sites.
Noram has also been selected to provide its MNB technology to Tianji Coal
Chemical Industry Group Co. This plant will be designed to produce 180,000
tonnes per year and will be built at Tianjis LuCheng site in Shanxi province.
Completion is also scheduled for end 2012. It will operate in parallel to an
existing Noram MNB facility supplied to the same site in 2006.
Tianji Coal Chemical Industry Group Co. will use the MNB to feed an aniline
plant, which will supply the Chinese merchant aniline market. Earlier this year
,Tianji awarded a contract to KBR to provide its technology and engineering
services for a 450- tonnes perday aniline plant at LuCheng .

Ban on benzoyl peroxide and calcium peroxide as food additive in
flour
The Chinese Ministry of Health, announced that benzoyl peroxide and calcium
peroxide manufacturers are no longer allowed to use food additives in flour
production or to produce or sell them, beginning May 1, 2011.
The old food standard about using benzoyl peroxide and calcium peroxide in
flour automatically expired; however, flour and related products that were
made according to the old standard will be allowed to be sold up to the end
of their shelf life.
A recent investigation revealed that there is no longer any need to use these
additives in flour processing, as the public increasingly desire natural
food,which should keep its original color, smell, taste-and healthy nutrients,
with fewer added chemicals.

INDIAS ENERGY NEEDS & OPTIONS BY 2020
PRIZE WINNERS
Nandini Chemical Journal, conducted an All India Essay Competition for
college students in March,2011. on Indias Energy Needs & Options by
2020
There was overwhelming response from college students all over India for
the essay competition.
Ten students on all India basis have been selected for the awards in the
essay competition.
Observations of the judges
The subject Indias Energy Options and Needs by 2020 is an intricate
one and even the most experienced technologists , administrators and
management professionals in the country find it difficult to come out with a
tangible solution amongst various options.
Under the circumstances, it is gratifying that so many students from all over
India have ventured to discuss the subject and provide their views in the
best manner possible for them. Students have written their essays on the
basis of careful study of the various information and data available in the
public domain and observations made by experts and government
spokesman from time to time.
Many of them appear to have been
overwhelmed by the subject and its complexities and such young minds have
attempted to put their views within their limitations.
Nandini Chemical Journal tried its level best to publicise about this All India
Essay competition amongst student community in the country by writing
individually to more than five hundred reputed universities, professional
colleges and educational institutions all over India . While some institutions
responded by exhibiting the details in their notice boards, many institutions
did not do so. Several students themselves pointed out this and said that
they came to know about this important competition only by word of mouth.
If the message has reached more students , perhaps many more would have
participated than a few hundreds that have done now.

Gas output from D6 block short of target
The gas output from the D6 block operated by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL)
has fallen short by 28 per cent against the target. This has compelled the
Government to review the gas allocation status.
RIL's current output from the field should have been 69.8 mscmd according
to the field development plan (FDP). However, the production is 50 mscmd,
the Director-General of Hydrocarbons said.
56
NEWS ROUND UP INDIA

Production at the D6 block has declined from its peak level of 60 mscmd in
the April-June quarter last year DG said that the reasons given by the
company for the drop in gas production were not very satisfactory.
The D6 block contains three producing fields Dhirubhai-1, Dhirubhai-3,
and MA1. Reliance currently has 18 wells in production as against a target of
22 wells.
The company will need to rework its work programme that includes drilling of
wells in the current fiscal.
As regards the shortfall in gas availability to customers because of the drop
in output, the company has been told to give preference to priority sectors
such as fertiliser and power.Indications are that the Government may ask the
company to divert gas from the non-priority sectors such as steel,
petrochemicals, and refineries, which may be given fuel only on fall-back
basis.
Citing the May, 2010, Supreme Court ruling that upheld the government's
right to frame gas utilisation policy, the ministry wrote to Reliance directing it
to first supply natural gas from its KG-D6 fields to priority sectors like
fertiliser and power.
Reliance is currently producing around 50 million cubic metres a day of gas
from its eastern offshore KG-D6 gas block, just enough to meet contracted
demand of priority sectors - urea manufacturing units, power plants, LPG
extraction plants and city gas distribution companies.
Non-core sponge iron plants, petrochemicals units and oil refineries have
cornered 13.13 mmscmd out of the 60.76 mmscmd of KG-D6 gas that the
government had allocated in 2008 and 2009.

ONGC notifies oil, gas discoveries in western India
ONGC has notified new oil and gas discoveries in the Western part of the
country.
According to ONGC, the oil in the NELP block in Cambay basin is of good
quality and the one in pre-NELP western onshore basin is heavy oil.
The oil flow in the NELP-VII block CB-ONN-2004/2 is at the rate of 22.5 cubic
metre a day and gas at the rate of 3,758 cubic metre per day. In the PreNELP block (North Kadi 461), the oil flow is at the rate of 17 cubic meter per
day.

NEWS ROUND UP INDIA

ONGC has notified to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons on March 16
about its NELP-VII block discovery. ONGC has 50 per cent participating
interest, with GSPC and Sunterra holding 40 per cent and 10 per cent,
respectively.
The pre-NELP block discovery was notified to DGH on April 5.
ONGC has concluded FY 2011 with total 24 discoveries in its domestic fields
of operation excluding North Kadi 461, Western Onshore Basin, as it has
been reported in April, 2011.
Out of these 24 discoveries, 15 are onshore (11 new Prospects and four new
pools) and 9 are offshore (four new prospects and five new Pools). Of these,
five discoveries are in NELP blocks.
During 2010-11, ONGC added 236.92 million tonne oil and oil equivalent gas
(Mtoe) and in-place hydrocarbon with 83.56 Mtoe as the ultimate reserve
surpassing the record breaking performance of previous fiscal (82.98 Mtoe).
The combined oil plus oil equivalent gas production of ONGC Group (including
ONGC domestic, shares in domestic joint ventures and overseas operation of
OVL) in FY'11 is 62.029 Mtoe.

RIL gas output may fall further
Output from Reliance Industries (RIL) D1 and D3 gas fields off the Andhra coast-which
have seen a sharp fall in recent months-is expected to drop further in 2012-13, the
government's regulatory arm for exploration activities has said.
In the revised work programme and budget for 2011-12 and 2012-13, Reliance indicated
gas production of 43 mcmd (million cubic metres per day) and 38 mcmd, respectively.
This is less than the 62 mcmd indicated for this period in the $9-billion plan approved by
the regulator for developing the field, projected to pump over 80 mcmd by 2012.
Executives
from RIL explained that D1 and D3 are frontier fields in terms of depth of
the reserves and geological structure of the rocks cradling the gas pool. They said there
was no previous experience in India of cracking reserves at such depths and ways to
tackle geological surprises that may crop up during operation. They expect things to
improve with BP coming in, as the UK major is considered one of the best deepwater
explorers in the world.
RIL has drilled 20 wells but is operating only 18 against the approved plan of putting in
place 22 wells. RIL has to explain as to why all wells have been drilled in the main
reserve area and why these were not spread across the additional channels to maximize
output.

MAIZE PRODUCTION TREND IN INDIA
The present production of
maize in India is at 19 to20
million tonnes.
Though
India
enjoys
an
exportable surplus of maize at
present, there is an urgent
need to gear up production
and productivity of maize to
meet the projected demand of
40-45 million tonnes by 2025,
says the Deputy Director
General (Crop Science), Indian
Council Of Agricultural Resear
(ICAR).
The area under maize had gone up significantly from 3.2 million hectares in
the early 50s to 8.17 m ha and the production and productivity up by 12
times and 4.5 times to 19.33 million tonnes and 2,414 kg/ha respectively.
Production and productivity of maize increased appreciably over the years, so
much so that the country is in a position to export around 3 million tonnes to
several countries at present.
The introduction of Single Cross Maize Hybrids (SCMH) has helped break
yield barriers. Horizontal growth by way of area expansion can be difficult,
which implies that there is a need to increase productivity. The variety that
combines Bt trait and herbicide-tolerance is assuming importance and
combined with SCMH, it can increase yield.
Development of low phytate content maize is vital to increase bio-availability
of minerals, which is already prevalent in the US and China.
India emerged an exporter of maize only after 2002. The crop is grown in
Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh,
Maharashtra and Bihar. In Tamil Nadu, it was grown in 3.08 lakh ha in
2009-10 and the productivity at 4 tonnes/ha is higher than the national
average.
59
AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE

Maize is increasingly used for bio-fuel production in developed countries . In
the US, about 14 per cent of maize, which is roughly about 46 million tonnes
is diverted for ethanol production.
Agri growth relies heavily on maize performance
Due to introduction of single cross hybrid maize technology, Indias maize
production has risen to 19.73 million tonne during 2009-10 from 14.18
million tonne in 2004-05. says Indian Maize Development Association
Maize is Indias third largest cereal crop. Wheat and rice were the key crops
of the first Green Revolution due to timely interventions of high-yielding
input responsive technologies. Maize may play a similar role with the newly
developed technology such as insect and herbicide-tolerant traits in maize, in
bringing about the much-needed second Green Revolution.
The indications to this effect are already there. In the recent years, maize
has registered highest growth among the important food cereals crops in the
country. For instance, maize yield increased by 27% with production
increasing by 30% in a short span of two years (2006-07 to 2008-09) ,which
made India a maize surplus and net exporter country in the world maize
market.
IMDA is worried over the recent decision of Genetic Engineering Approval
Committee (GEAC) to withdraw field trial for transgenic maize containing
insect and herbicide tolerant traits. This could pose a serious threat to the
development of maize in India. Since maize is predominately a rain fed crop,
insect and herbicide tolerant maize technologies will prove a boon to small
and marginal farmers where management of weed and nutrients uptake is
most critical components of maize production.
The growth of Indian agriculture is heavily relies on the prospects of maize in
the recent years which is a major crop that has contributed significantly to
the overall foodgrain production. India has achieved higher productivity
through introduction of single-cross hybrids. The next frontier is transgenic
maize; which can help reduce the cost of cultivation and address the
problems of maize farmers and enhance Indias potential to increase
productivity and production of maize 80% of which is grown in rain fed
area.

REFINING PROCESS FOR ALOE VERA
GEA Niro has introduced a drying and separation process that will make aloe
vera more widely available for a number of industries. The spray drying
process is for aloe vera for use in the food and cosmetics industry .
Until now, the therapeutic plant has been dried naturally in the sun, a fairly
crude process with limited uses or has undergone an extensive and
expensive preparation for freeze drying for pharmaceutical use. The new
process bridges the gap, providing a high quality powder that is suitable for
use in personal care, nutraceutical and food products.
GEA Niro already supplies freeze drying technology that produces a high
quality aloe vera powder for use in pharmaceutical products. However, spray
drying will provide an efficient and economic option for those looking to use
the final dried product as a functionality enhancing agent for yogurts,
dressings, drinks, face creams and cosmetics.
The process requires the aloe vera cactus leaves to be processed in such a
way that the moisture absorbing pulp can be micro disintegrated and spray
dried efficiently. The leaves are first filleted to remove the hard outer shell.
What is left, the inner tissue, is made up of 98% water and just 2% tissue
matter that behaves like a sponge. This means that when the aloe vera has
been spray dried, it will act as a thickening agent and provide texture and
volume to the end product without adding calories.
The aloe vera fillet is then put through a shredder and a milling machine to
create a feed that is able to be atomised. The feed pulp is then heated to less
than 50 deg. C and dosed with enzymes in a reaction tank; these enzymes
break down the cellulose chain, reducing the viscosity.
61
AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE

The fibres are then segregated and those less than 200 microns continue in
the process. Aloin, used as a bittering agent in beverages and as a
pharmaceutical laxative, is extracted. The remaining pulp then goes on to be
pasteurised creating a gel. After evaporation to increase the total solids of
the gel, it is spray dried into a fine, free flowing powder.
GEA Niro says that the new process would make aloe vera much more
accessible to a wide range of industries.
The spray dried powder is ideal for use in all products, and the spray drying
process has lower operation costs compared to freeze drying, says GEA
Niro.

Seaweed as weight loss product
Researchers at the Unilever Research & Development inVlaardingen, the
Netherlands, found that adding the seaweed extract alginate to a chocolate
milkshake reduced hunger of study participants by nearly 30 per cent.
"Delaying the return of hunger after consumption can potentially increase
consumer satisfaction with weight control programmes and reduced-energy food
products and encourage long-term compliance with a reduced-energy diet." they

Researchers recruited a group of 23
healthy volunteers who consumed the
drink containing various levels of
alginate in place of a meal and
reported their levels of hunger and
fullness over the next five hours.
The form of alginate used turns into a
gel in the acidic environment of the
stomach, and the calcium adds to the
gel's thickness. This creates a feeling
of fullness, as well as holding food in
the
stomach
for
longer.

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
Biobased fragrance ingredients
Synthetic biology firm Amyris (Emeryville, CA) has entered into an
agreement with Givaudan to develop a derivative of Amyriss biobased
farnesene that could be used as a building block for one of the most
important proprietary fragrance ingredients in Givaudans portfolio.
The name of the ingredient was not disclosed, but Givaudan says it intends
to market the final product as early as 2012.
Amyriss technology is based on the use of microorganisms to convert sugars
into farnesene, which can be used to produce lubricants, consumer products,
polymers, and fuels.
The company took several steps to advance its farnesene platform in 2010,
including a deal to form a base oil joint venture with ethanol firm Cosan (So
Paulo). The company also advanced plans to build a farnesene plant using
sugarcane syrup provided by jv partner Grupo So Martinho (So Paulo) at
So Paulo. The plant is expected to be online in the first quarter of 2012.
Amyris also has deals in place with Procter & Gamble and Mossi & Ghisolfi

GIV3616 A food additive
The discovery of the compound , called GIV3616, which is tasteless and
prevents tart tastes being sensed by the tongue, could be added to foods and
beverages to make them more palatable, said the researcher Ioana
Ungureanu of the research team that developed the compound at Givaudan
Flavors Corporation in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Blocking these flavors that the scientists 'offnotes' could help consumers eat
healthier and more varied diets. It could encourage them to switch to noncalorie soft drinks and help children and seniors swallow bitter-tasting
medications.
The researchers, who presented their findings at the annual conference of
the American Chemical Society in Anaheim, California, said that GIV3616 is
not the first compound capable of masking bitter tastes from the tongue.
That honour belongs to GIV3727, which improves the taste of artificial
sweeteners such as saccharin and sucralose.
But, the bitterness blocker GIV3616 is more potent than its predecessor and
dissolves more quickly in food and beverages. As people have become more
concerned about the amount of salt, fat and sugar in processed foods,
interest in flavor blockers has jumped, according to the American Chemical
Society.
Instead of masking bad or bitter flavors with salty, fatty ingredients , food
manufacturers are interested in using chemicals that interfere with the taste
receptors on the tongue, leaving them temporarily unable to detect
unpleasant flavors.

Storage of hydrogen
A new technology that allows hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical
way , could make its widespread use as a carbon-free alternative to petrol a
reality , according to its developers .
The technology is based on a new way of producing nano-fibres from
hydrides , materials that soak up hydrogen like a sponge
and then
encapsulating them in tiny plastic beads so small that they behave like a
liquid
The process is being developed by Cella Energy , a spinoff from Britain's
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory , who say that the technique allows
hydrogen to be released at a much faster rate and at lower temperatures
than before .
65
The company said that hydrogen could be an economically viable alternative
to fossil fuels, if the gas is produced with renewable energy sources like wind
or solar . It has three times more energy than petrol per unit of weight and
could power cars , planes and other vehicles that currently use hydrocarbons.

New fuel combination for more safe reactor
Scientists at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) have worked out a
new fissile fuel combination for the much awaited 300 MW Advanced Heavy
Water Reactor (AHWR) to increase proliferation resistance, safety and
security characteristics and attract international utilities.
The new fissile fuel combination for AHWR will involve 20 per cent low
enriched uranium (LEU)-thorium fuel instead of plutonium-thorium as
planned earlier.
This change will again delay the setting up of this technology demonstration
plant, some scientists said, while others say that this will be pursued in
parallel and should be of considerable interest to international community,
particularly in the wake of Japan''s Fukushima accident.
The original plan conceived and made for the newly designed AHWR by
former chairman Anil Kakodkar was to use plutonium-thorium combination to
convert thorium to uranium-233 and had been even reviewed by the Atomic
Energy Regulatory Board (AERB).
The new system is important for India as a part of domestic program to
expand our experience with thorium and uranium-233. Always some fissile
feed in the form of plutonium would be required.
The change in fuel arrangement was conceived recently with the aim of
international deployment of safe and secure nuclear power system with all its
advanced safety features and deliberately kept low power density.
Also the risk of proliferation is significantly reduced since the recycled
uranium would be highly proliferation resistant as it would contain U-232.
Besides, the plutonium in the spent fuel would be low both in quantity and
fissile content with larger concentration of heat generating plutonium0238
leading to enhanced proliferation resistance and reduced risk of diversion to
weapons.

Dow develops foams retardant
Dow Chemical says that it developed a high molecular weight brominated
polymeric flame retardant for use in both extruded polystyrene (XPS) and
expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation applications.
The
flame
retardant
can
replace
hexabromocyclododecane
(HBCD),
a
brominated flame retardant recently
added to both EPAs Chemicals of
Concern and European Commissions
authorization lists.
Dow has signed its first licensing
agreement for the flame retardant with
Chemtura, which will manufacture and
sell the product through its Great Lakes
Solutions (West Lafayette, IN) unit.
Great Lakes Solutions says that the agreement is part of its plan to
manufacture more environmentally friendly flame retardants.
The agreement gives Chemtura the rights to produce and sell the flame
retardant for use in EPS andPS foams. Chemtura will manufacture the
retardant at its El Dorado, AR site.
Dows retardant is based on new technology, so Great Lakes Solutions will
have to find new sources of raw materials and processing materials to
manufacture it.
The company currently produces HBCD, which will be replaced by Dows new
flame retardant. The conversion will take place during the next few years,
depending on when the companys customers meet regulatory and
production qualifications.
Meanwhile, Dow says that it is in licensing discussions with several other
companies and expects to finalize those agreements by the end of this year.
Dow says that all licensees are expected to have interim quantities available
throughout 2011.

ENZYME TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION

IN CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE SYSTEM
Codexis (Redwood City, CA), an enzyme technology firm, has made significant
progress in its development of a commercial-scale enzyme that can reduce the
energy consumption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems.
Codexis is jointly developing the technology with CO2 Solutions (Quebec, Canada),
a CO2 technology company. Codexis announced details of its technology, a
customized carbonic anhydrase enzyme, at the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE)
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) innovation summit that took
place in Washington recently.
Improvements in carbon capture technology are seen as vital in reducing the costs
associated with proposed cap-and-trade programs for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions by making coal-fired power generation economically viable.
Development of the carbonic anhydrase enzyme marks a further step in Codexiss
diversification into industrial applications outside of biocatalysis used in pharmaceuticals
processing. Codexis also is involved in the development of processes for making nextgeneration biofuels and biomaterials.
Codexis cabonic anhydrase enzymes project secured $4.7 million in funding in May
2010 from the ARPA-E program. The grant is directed at supporting the development of
custom enzymes to decrease energy needed to capture CO2 from coal-fired power
plants. Codexis aims to use the grant to continue developing the technology through
May 2012.
By the end of the two- year development program, Codexis plans to undertake a
3-month stability test of the enzyme, so that the technology is ready to go to pilot scale.
Enzymes developed by Codexis have been shown to be functional and stable in
relatively inexpensive and energy-efficient solvents for 24 hours at temperature up to 75
deg.C.
With the carbonic anhydrase enzyme, the additional electricity required by a power plant
to run a CCS facility can be reduced from 80% to no more than 35%, the company says.
Using Codexis technology, power plant operators may be able to use more efficient
capture methods to decrease the cost of carbon capture. This, in turn, could lead to
wider adoption of this important technology solution.
Codexis carbonic anhydrase enzyme is derived from a natural enzyme that can catalyze
the transfer of CO2, such as the release of CO2 from blood into the lungs during
respiration. The natural enzyme does not function at the high temperatures and harsh
industrial conditions of a coal-fired power plant flue gas and so has been modified by
Codexis. Additionally, Codexis has enhanced the catalytic performance of its enzyme by
a factor of 100,000.

INDIAN SOLAR POWER PROJECTS FACE HURDLES
Lack of finance is expected to create hurdles for the solar power project
developers involved in the government's plan to commission 20,000 MW of
projects in the next decade.
Financers are finding the tariff for solar power projects under the central
policy unattractive, as aggressive biddings by the developers have resulted in
lower returns on the investments.
Financial institutions' cautious scrutiny of the projects has created concerns
among the investors. In Gujarat alone, at least 450 MW of projects are
expected to miss the deadlines, as developers have failed to achieve financial
closure despite the attractive tariff of 15 per unit for the first 12 years and 5
per unit from 13th to 25th year for solar power units based on PV
technology.
Developers aiming to set up solar projects under the PPAs with NTPC Vidyut
Vyapar Nigam are facing bigger challenges, as the competitive bidding has
reduced their margins.
SBI Cap is studying proposals for 70-80 MW of projects carefully.Historical
data are not available on the solar radiation and the information from various
research agencies are not proven yet. Also, financers' experience with wind
power project developers in the initial few years was not encouraging. Hence,
it is difficult for the institutions to fund the solar projects," said SBI Capital
Markets
Project developers in Gujarat plan to pump in over Rs 15,000 crore to
commission 950 MW of solar power generation capacity. They will require
close to Rs 10,000 crore of loans from the financial institutions in next couple
of months.
Project developers face uncertainty over the present tariff in case they fail to
commission projects by 2011 end, as the electricity regulator will come up
with a new tariff structure next year.

National fund to finance solar power technology
The National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF), created under the aegis of non-renewable
energy ministry, will provide financial support for development of indigenous
technologies in solar power.
The government is of the view that the research will help in reducing the final cost of
producing electricity through tapping solar energy.
In the next five years, India would need 28,000 mw of renewable power, and wind
energy would be a dominant source for it. But going forward, solar energy would play a
vital role in achieving that target, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission, said in an
event organised by Forum for Advancement of Solar Thermal (FAST).
Recently, the government cleared the creation of a national clean energy fund that will
finance green energy projects and research ventures aimed at reducing Indias carbon
footprint. The 2010-11 Budget had made provision for such a fund created through a
clean energy cess of R50 per tonne...of coal, lignite and peat since last year.
The government has collected around R3,124 crore from the coal cess in 2010-11, and
the corpus under the fund is expected to be over R6,500 crore in 2011-12. It is expected
that a significant portion of these funds would be used for supporting payment security
mechanisms and R&D activities under Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission.
Last year, India added 3,150 mw of renewable energy to grid, including 2,000 mw from
wind power and just 40 mw of solar power. But this year ,India is expected to add 250
mw from solar power
WASTE-TO-POWER PLANT IN CHINA

The largest waste-to-power plant in China, the Hangu waste-to-power plant, located
in the Chinas northern coastal city of Tianjin, will begin operations before
June,2011.
Located in the Binhai new district of Tianjin, the plant, spread over an area of 13.2
hectares, is expected to consume 2,000 tonnes of trash and waste daily.
On completion, it will be able to treat 6,67,000 tonnes of trash and generate 146
million kwh of electricity each year. The waste-to-energy plant has the largest
complete sealed trash tank in China, which can keep 20,000 tonnes of waste in
storage.
With an advanced incineration system, the emission targets of the power plant meet
European Union standards, the spokesman said. Along with fast economic
development and a quick rise in urban population, Tianjin, like many other Chinese
cities, has been plagued by the issue of growing waste.

GENETICALLY MODIFIED FUNGUS
CAN FIGHT MALARIA
For years, Angray Kang at
Westminster
University
and
colleagues in UK have been
testing
whether
they
could
genetically tweak a fungus to kill
the malaria parasite carried by
mosquitoes.
Now, theyve found that in lab
experiments,mosquitoes exposed
to the fungus show a sharp drop
in levels of the parasite. If it works that way in the wild, that should make it
harder for the disease to infect people.
Kang said the mutant fungus could be sprayed onto walls and bed nets like
insecticides and could be made for a comparable cost.
He said the same process of genetic modification could also be used to target
other insect-spread diseases like dengue and West Nile virus. The research
was done together with scientists at the Johns Hopkins School of Public
Health and was funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Early results
were published recently in the journal Science.
In laboratory tests, Kang and colleagues found mosquitoes exposed to the
mutated fungus had malaria parasite levels about 85 percent lower than
normal. When they added a scorpion toxin to the mix, levels dropped by 97
percent. No tests have shown whether using the fungus would curb human
malaria cases, but experts think fewer malaria parasites should translate into
fewer cases.
Kang's experiment involved inserting a human antibody against malaria into a
fungus commonly found in soil and plants worldwide. Spores made by the fungus
burrow into the mosquito, invading its circulatory system. When the malariacausing parasite multiplies inside the insect, the antibody keeps the parasites
from reaching the mosquito's salivary glands. That theoretically stops the
disease's spread.
The mosquito can be infected by malaria, but it can't pass it onto humans,
Kang said. The mutated fungus then eats away at the mosquito from the inside,
killing the insect after a couple of weeks. That's long enough for the mosquito to
reproduce, which should lessen its incentive to evolve resistance to it.
72
PHARMA PAGE
The same fungus minus the genetic modifications is already produced in
industrial quantities to squash locust outbreaks in Australia. The fungus is
naturally lethal to locusts, so no genetic modification is needed.
If Kang and colleagues can get enough funding, they hope to test the mutant
fungus in malaria-endemic countries like Burkina Faso, Kenya or Tanzania.

EU ban on Ayurveda to hit Kerala
hard
Hardly a month left before Ayurveda
drugs go off the shelves across
European Union which has imposed a
ban from May 1. The Rs.600 crore
Ayurveda industry in Kerala, home to
the
traditional
medical
system,
remains rattled, unprepared to face
the situation.
The ban is on the grounds that several of these drugs have tested to contain
residues of heavy metals like lead, zinc and cadmium which can prove
hazardous to health.
The industry has to provide sufficient documents based on research to prove
that the formulations are not harmful and have been in use in the country for
centuries.
Confederation for Ayurvedic Renaissance Keralam Pvt Ltd (CARe-Keralam), a
cluster of more than 60 Ayurveda drug manufacturing firms, says the ban
threat has been in the air for quite some time. Though exports to the EU
may account for hardly 5 per cent of the total revenue, there is the added
threat of other countries following the EU.
Already CARe has begun research and documentation of drug formulations at
its centre in Koratty.
It is in collaboration with Ayush, the central
department for traditional medical systems, to support research and provide
necessary documents. The industry has also been demanding an ayurveda
export council under the Directory General of Foreign Trade (DFGT).
According to the EU notification, all herbal medicinal products must have
prior authorization before they can be marketed in the EU. This will mean
that many medicines which go abroad as extracts and food supplements such
as chavanprash, ashwagandha, etc will go out of sale across Europe from
May 1.
73
PHARMA PAGE
Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organization of India (AMMOI), says these
medicines have been in use since ages.Heavy metals are part of the
formulations and are used after high levels of purification that will cause no
harm to the body. But what is important is having research and proper
documentation, mandatory from marketing them abroad.

Codes for 100 million drug packs
PharmaSecure India, an anti-counterfeit solution provider, plans to roll out specialised
codes for 100 million packages to be used by the drug companies, which have to
incorporate such codes on all exports from July 1.
According to the notification issued by the Directorate-General of Foreign Trade (DGFT),
all exports of pharmaceutical products from India have to mandatorily comply with these
anti-counterfeit measures from July 1.
Consumers will be able to get the entire detail of the drug by sending the code
mentioned on the drug packs through an SMS to 9901099010.
Companies such as Lupin, Unichem Laboratories and MSN Labs have already
implemented solutions, which enable the patient to ensure authenticity of the drug by
sending an SMS and getting immediate response.
India, which accounts for the third largest drug production globally by volume and 14th
by value, has increasingly witnessed spurious and counterfeit drugs under the brand
name of Indian drug companies. Exports account for 40 per cent of the $20 billion Indian
pharmaceutical industry.
India is leading by rolling out track and trace system for its exports. The world is
watching to see how the country will implement its bold plan. India must not retreat from
its July 1 implementation goal, said President and CEO of Woods International, LLC.

Stem cell Regulations
India is considering measures
to regulate research in the
therapeutic use of human
embryonic stem cells - a field
that offers promise for curing
brain, nerve and spinal cord
diseases, among others.
A 12-member national apex committee set up last year by the union health ministry to
oversee and monitor the activities, especially to check misuse of stem cells, held its first
meeting at the end of last year but has not got too far in its work.
74
PHARMA PAGE
The panel led by Alok Srivastava, a haematologist at the Christian Medical College
(CMC), Vellore, was formed a few years after the government published guidelines on
stem cell research in 2007. The guidelines, however, have no power to curb stem cell
therapy and researches conducted allegedly without proper procedures.
While experts also feel there have to be rules in place to prevent misuse of stem cells,
some of them suggest that regulations should not be harsh if India wants growth in the
area.
Stem cell research has become a row in the past few years across the world with some
favouring its use of embryonic stem cell and others opposing it on moral and ethical
grounds.

No anti-dumping duty on penicillin-G 6-APA
The finance ministry has turned down a government body's recommendation to impose
anti-dumping duty on import of two key drug ingredients from China and Mexico, used to
make antibiotics worth about. Rs 3,000 crore.
In January, the commerce ministry recommended duty of $2.5 per billion on units of
Penicillin-G imported from China and Mexico. Further, it had also proposed duty of
around $9.28 per kg on 6-APA imported from China after Indian suppliers complained
that Chinese and Mexican firms are shipping it at a low price to kill competition from
Indian manufacturers.
This is the second time the finance ministry has rejected recommendations by
Directorate General of Anti-Dumping & Allied Duties, the nodal investigating agency of
the commerce ministry. Last year also, it had sought a similar provisional suggestion
saying that the prices of popular antibiotics may increase. There were fears among
some sections of the industry that price of popular antibiotics Mox, Augmentin and
Sporidex would become costlier by as much as 25%.
The local suppliers say that the finance ministry views are not rational. They say that the
Chinese companies would invariably hike the price once the threat from local firms
subsides, thus hiking cost of antibiotics.
This is a strategy they have successfully adopted for some years now that had forced
few Indian companies such as JK Pharmachem, Torrent to shut down, while restricting
capacities of existing manufacturers such as Vadodara-based Alembic and Chennaibased SPIC. Besides, the country would remain hostage of Chinese suppliers for these
key antibiotics.
Several brand drugmakers who prefer to buy the antibiotics from low-cost Chinese
suppliers said that the two Indian firms are unable to meet the local industry's demand.
The suppliers such as Alembic and SPIC, on whose complaints the DGFT carried out
the study before making the recommendation, said they can meet the demand of local
market.

Brominated flame retardants
Retail company Walmart (Bentonville, AR) will begin testing products for polybrominated
biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on June 1 and will no longer sell those that test positive. The
move to ban products containing PBDEs primarily affects those containing decaBDE
because other PBDEs have already been phased out, industry says.
The move to restrict products containing brominated flame retardants is part of a broader
Walmart initiative that would restrict certain substances in selected products sold by the
retailer. Walmart in 2006 announced that it would ban three substances: propoxur and
permethrin, both used in household insect-control products; and nonylphenol
ethoxylates, an ingredient in some cleaning products. It later announced that it would not
sell certain childrens products containing bisphenol A, and launched an initiative to
reduce phosphates and increase use of more sustainable packaging.
The Walmart initiative affects companies including Albemarle and Chemtura which
produce decaBDE but also have launched alternative substances. However,
environmental groups say they are concerned about replacement drop ins that have
not undergone rigorous review by federal authorities. Still, those replacements will face
little scrutiny under the current requirements of the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA).
Products including electronics and furniture have already, for the most part, phased out
use of decaBDE. However, drop in substitutes are also potentially hazardous and not
ideal. There are product substitutions that may be more economically and
environmentally sustainable for industry because they are not subject to further
restrictions stemming from regulations including the European Unions Registration and
Evaluation of Chemicals (Reach) law. An example is advances by mattress
manufacturers, which have developed a fireproof barrier lining that does not rely on
flame retardant additives.

Import price of phosphatic & potash fertilisers in India
The Government of India raised the benchmark prices at which fertiliser companies and
designated traders can import phosphatic and potash fertilisers with subsidy support, so
that farmers have uninterrupted supply of plant nutrients in the coming monsoon season
despite higher global prices. The subsidy given to companies for making the commodity
available to farmers, is computed based on the notified benchmark prices.
The government has also allowed fertiliser companies to raise retail prices of DAP by up
to Rs. 600 per tonne from the existing rate of Rs. 10,750 per tonne.
The benchmark prices have been raised to $612 a tonne for DAP and $420 a tonne for
MoP from the current level of $ 580 a tonne and $ 390 a tonne, respectively....
India imports six million tonnes of DAP and four million tonnes of MoP every year. "This
(revision in benchmark prices) will enable the manufacturers and importers to import
fertiliser and inputs and undertake domestic production and make fertiliser available to
the farmers in 2011-12," an official statement said, adding that farmers would be able to
buy fertilisers at subsidised rates.
The budgetary provision for phosphatic and potassic fertilisers for the
is Rs. 33,500 crore.
*****
Costlier raw materials forced hike in fertiliser prices
2011-12 fiscal
In the last one month the price of two ingredients used in the manufacture of DAP
ammonia and sulphur have gone up . Landed prices of ammonia have gone up from
around $460 to $525 a tonne, while corresponding rising from $220 to 250 a tonne for
sulphur.
For every tonne of DAP manufactured, fertiliser plants use about 220 kg of ammonia. An
increase of $65 a tonne in ammonia prices, then, pushes up DAP production costs by
around $14 or Rs 630 a tonne. Even landed prices of phosphoric acid have moved up by
around $150 a tonne (see Table).
77
PRICE DETAILS
The higher import costs have been the main reason for Iffco hiking its maximum retail
price of DAP from Rs 10,750 to Rs 12,000 a tonne in the current month, while hiking the
same for 10:26:26' and 12:32:16' complex fertilisers from Rs 8,997 and Rs 9,437 to Rs
10,800 and Rs 11,200 a tonne, respectively.

Rare earth prices.
*****
World prices have doubled in the last four months for rare earths, which are used in
many of the most sophisticated civilian and military technologies, whether smartphones
or smart bombs.
The reason for the price increase is that the demand continues to outstrip efforts to
expand supplies.
Neodymium, a rare earth necessary for a range of products including headphones and
hybrid electric cars, now fetches more than $283 a kilogram on the spot market. A year
ago it was sold for about $42 a kilogram.
Samarium, crucial to the manufacture of missiles, has climbed to more than $146 a
kilogram, up from $18.50 a year earlier.
Rare earths typically are used only in trace quantities. One exception is the Toyota Prius
hybrid car, whose manufacture uses a kilogram of neodymium.
The high prices for rare earths reflect turmoil in the global industry that mines and refines
them. China, which controls more than 95 per cent of the market, has further restricted
exports so as to conserve supplies for its own hightech and green energy industries.
Meanwhile, an ambitious effort to open the worlds largest rare earth refinery in
Malaysia, which had seemed certain to begin operating by this autumn, is tied up over
regulatory reviews of the disposal plans for thousands of tons of low-level radioactive
waste that the plant would produce annually. Public opposition to the refinery is evident
in the protest demonstrations now being held.
At the same time, Japanese companies are finding it harder than originally hoped to
recycle rare earths from electronics and to begin rare earth mining and refining in
Vietnam.
