Apoorve |
City - Delhi Country - India Role - Industry professional About - I am an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology and winner of Summer Undergraduate Research Award at IIT Delhi. I am currently working at the R&D centre of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd.,India, where I am responsible for looking after the biotechnological aspects of process development for production of 2nd Generation bio-fuels. Being the only biotechnologist in the R&D centre at BPCL, my present work experience has been more like an entrepreneurial journey. I am keenly interested in application of biotechnology to source untapped sustainable bio energy. I have worked on projects on micro-algal photo-bioreactors and biological fuel cells and I am currently working on projects related to bio-ethanol and bio-butanol. I believe that such a holistic understanding will be instrumental in planning an efficient consolidated bio refinery. |

- what could be approx cost of production of biodiesel/gallon from Algae by Hitesh2012 - 2 days ago
- The first step would be to isolate a good strain or engineering one. Then optimize conditions for enhanced algae production and take it from there.Production of algaefuel is sure a technology for the future.
