NCL scientists develops technology to convert bagasse into raw materials
5 DECEMBER 2008
Times Of India, Pune: Scientists from the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) here have developed the technology to convert bagasse into industrial raw materials such as cellulose and lactic acid that are used extensively in ***, textile and food preservative industries. Based on the research done by the NCL scientists, country’s first biorefinery has been set up in Karnataka by Godavari Sugar Mills Ltd (GSML).
NCL deputy director A. J. Varma, who headed this project, told TOI: “This is a state-of-the-art technology being introduced for the first time in India. At a time when petroleum resources are getting depleted, there’s nothing like obtaining the same constituents from natural resources. The challenge now is to make it economical.”
