TALK OF THE MONTH

MAKE IN INDIA STRATEGY

FOR INDIAN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES

Apart from identifying the import substitute or export oriented products, the issues with regard to

development and use of appropriate, environmental friendly and competitive process and

manufacturing technologies to make products also require careful consideration, based on the

ground realities .

In recent times, it is seen that several chemicals that are produced in small scale as well as the

speciality chemicals which are produced in small quantity, are of no more interest to the project

promoters in developed countries, due to issues relating to economies of scale etc.. Such scenario

provides investment opportunities for the innovative and enterprising chemical project promoters

in India.

Technology source

It is not uncommon to find the project promoters in India complaining that they find it difficult to

identify the suitable technology suppliers for setting up manufacturing plants.

While several crores of rupees have been invested and continue to be spent by Government of India

in starting and maintaining many research laboratories under the banner of Council of Scientific and

Industrial Research, the fact is that the R&D institutions are not generating much confidence about

their process technologies amongst the Indian entrepreneurs. The R&D investment made by the

private sector in India in developing new products are insignificant .

Prime Minister‘s clarion call for Make in India Campaign has created considerable interest in

the country, particularly among the small and medium scale manufacturing sector.

While the Prime Minister‘s stress on the need to make products in India can be achieved either

by producing import substitute products or export oriented products, there is still uncertainty

about the methodology and strategy that should be adopted to identify the appropriate

products for manufacture and implement the Make in India Campaign in time bound manner.

While the government has made a few announcements and some suggestions have been made

by experts in the field and several ideas are thought about by project promoters, it appears that

India still has a long way to go in achieving ultimate objectives of the Make in India Campaign.

Need for clarity

The absence of ideas and lack of clarity and vision

with regard to the campaign is particularly

conspicuous among the chemical industries in the

country. Various associations involved in

promotion of chemical industries and

representing the interests of the enterprises

involved in different activities relating the

chemical industries, do not appear to have

discussed yet with any seriousness and depth

about the possibilities and strategies .

Page 5: Dedicated to the cause of chemical industrypkklib.iitk.ac.in/nandani/AUGUST_2015.pdfDedicated to the cause of chemical industry ... 08 A fair appraisal of Adani group solar project

Nandini Chemical Journal, August 2015 Page 5

MAKE IN INDIA STRATEGY FOR INDIAN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES

This appears to be formidable task and big challenge that may defeat the government‘s objective of

promoting Make in India Campaign, if not tackled adequately and quickly.

Need for sustained efforts

Perhaps, Prime Minister is well aware that big and positive change in mind set is necessary, both

amongst project promoters and research institutions in India for the Make in India Campaign to

become successful.

Of course, the government has to create right climate of growth and there is evidence that Prime

Minister is trying to do so. However, the government‘s efforts would be successful, only if there

would be active interest and sustained efforts amongst the stake holders, who are project

promoters and research and development bodies as well as consultancy organisations who are

supposed to be think tanks.

Obviously, Make in India Campaign can be highly significant exercise for chemical industries,

particularly those involved in small and medium scale sector, if they can raise upto the challenges.

There is urgent need for industrial associations in India, representing the cross section of chemical

industries, to form a task force immediately to identify the appropriate chemicals that can be

advantageously made in India, as part of Make in India strategy. Such chemicals should be identified

based on present level of import, global demand trend and change in consumer perspectives and

preferences around the world.

The selection of chemicals and allied products for focussed attention, should be followed by

comprehensive technology development and promotional efforts both in the Indian and global

market. Task is challenging but it is well within the capabilities of Indian chemical industries.

Given the enthusiasm and energy being shown by the Prime Minister towards Make in India

Campaign, the ball is clearly in the court of Indian chemical industries.

Dependence on overseas technology

Under the circumstances, Indian

chemical industries continue to rely

heavily on overseas technology support

even for chemical projects, where

technology parameters are fairly well

known. Even small size countries like

Israel, Taiwan, Korea are repeatedly

approached by Indian project promoters

for buying the technology from one end

to the other.

The question uppermost in one‘s mind

is as to how can Make in India Campaign

be taken forward, in the absence of

strong R&D base and development of

discovery culture amongst the research

institutions in India ?.

TAPI PROJECT – WILL IT HAPPEN ?

Project scheme

TAPI (Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India) project is an over 1,800 km pipeline with design

capacity to supply 3.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per annum from Turkmenistan to Afghanistan,

Pakistan and India.

The envisaged pipeline will have capacity to transport 90 mmscmed of gas ---38 mmscmd each for

India and Pakistan and the remaining 14 mmscmd for Afghanistan.

The proposed $7.6 billion pipeline will start from the Dauletabad gas field in southeast Turkmenistan

and after 145 km stretch in the country enter Afghanistan. After traversing 735 km in Afghanistan

and 800 km in Pakistan, it will cross into India.

Special purpose vehicle for the project

The pipeline is targeted to be operational by 2018 and will carry gas from Turkmenistan‘s Galkynysh

field that holds gas reserves of 16 trillion cubic feet.

A statement issued by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which is the transaction advisor for the

TAPI gas pipeline said that state concerns, Turkmengas, Afghan Gas Enterprise, Inter State Gas

Systems (Private) Ltd and GAIL (India) Ltd will own equal shares in the company. In November

2013, the ADB was appointed transaction advisor for the TAPI gas pipeline project.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi pitched for early implementation of the $10-billion TAPI gas

pipeline project during his recent talks with Turkmenistan President.

Noting that the pipeline project could transform regional economic cooperation and bring

prosperity along the route, Prime Minister underlined the need to implement the project in

quick time .

Turkmenistan has the world‘s fourth largest proven gas reserves and the pipeline will allow

the landlocked country to diversify its gas export market.

Nandini Chemical Journal, August 2015 Page 7

TAPI PROJECT – WILL IT HAPPEN ?

The company has been incorporated as a Special Purpose Vehicle in the Isle of Man; a British Crown

dependency, located in the Irish Sea. This SPV would be responsible for finance, design,

construction, operation and maintenance of the TAPI pipeline.

Price of gas

India will pay close to $13 per million British thermal unit for natural gas it will buy from

Turkmenistan through a pipeline passing through Afghanistan and Pakistan, almost three times the

rate government has fixed for domestic gas producers.

The landed cost of gas on Pakistan border would be $11.50 per mmBtu. On top of this, India will pay

$0.495 per mmBtu as transit fee to Pakistan and another $1 as wheeling charge for the 800 km

pipeline section from Quetta to Fazilka (Punjab) in India.

The landed price of natural gas on Indian border would thus translate into $12.99 per mmBtu.

Challenges

The complex geopolitical and security issues involved in the TAPI pipeline project make the task of

building and operating the pipeline for over 30 years extremely challenging. None of the four TAPI

entities has such credentials, building the project through a consortium — formed either with equal

shareholding or under the leadership of Turkmengas.

TAPI project now remains as a challenge and opportunity.

******

PROPOSAL FOR IRAN-PAK-INDIA GAS PIPELINE

India is set to push for the proposed $7-billion gas pipeline from Iran via Pakistan.

A senior oil ministry official will lead a delegation of oil industry executives shortly to Iran

to press for India's interest in revival of the pipeline project that was put on the back

burner for years .

A consortium of state-run companies -

ONGC Videsh, Oil India and Indian Oil

Corporation had discovered gas in the

Farzad-B block in Iran in 2008 and

subsequently prepared a field development

plan to recover about 12.8 trillion cubic

feet of gas. The plan had to be abandoned

following the US sanctions, but India is

now hoping to get the block back for

development, since it has already spent

$90 million on exploration .

Following meetings between the

delegations of the two countries about

three months ago, Iran had asked India to

present a new plan for the development of

the field.

A FAIR APPRAISAL OF ADANI GROUP

SOLAR PROJECT IN TAMIL NADU

Absence of bidding process :

While many states like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and others have invited bids for

setting up solar power projects, Tamil Nadu government has chosen Adani group straightaway for

awarding the contract.

This move may not be wrong since the capacity of the proposed project is as high as 650 MW

which is the largest solar power project under implementation in the country so far. Even if the bids

were called for, there may not have been any bidder other than Adani group due to large capacity

of the proposed project.

In any case, Tamil Nadu government‘s silence on this issue has been criticised and the public would

like to know , whether the government has any appropriate explanation, particularly when many

other states have gone for bidding process.

Solar power tariff :

Tamil Nadu government has fixed solar power tariff of Rs. 7.01paise per unit for a period of

25 years. This tariff is applicable to all solar power projects in Tamil Nadu and not exclusively to

Adani group alone. Therefore, there is no justification in the criticism that Adani group has been

favoured.

An important and necessary solar power project in Tamil Nadu proposed to be set up by Adani

group has now become a matter of controversy.

Opposition political parties in Tamil Nadu are crying foul about the manner in which Adani

solar power project has been sanctioned by government of Tamil Nadu.

Nandini Chemical Journal, August 2015 Page 9

A FAIR APPRAISAL OF ADANI GROUP SOLAR PROJECT IN TAMIL NADU

Why not flexible power tariff ?

It is a fact that the cost of solar power project and cost of solar power generation have

considerably come down during the last few years.

This has been largely due to the steep fall in the price of polycrystalline silicon in the international

market , due to over capacity creation in China.

In the solar power plant, around 70% of the cost is contributed by the module which is made from

polycrystalline silicon as well as other materials. India does not produce poly crystalline silicon and

considerable requirement of module in India are met by import.

There have also been optimisation of technology parameters to some extent, that has contributed

to the marginal reduction in the cost of solar power project.

However, at this stage, one cannot be too sure that the cost of solar power project will continue to

come down, since several polycrystalline silicon producers in China and other countries have closed

down operations due to global over capacity and the supply situation is now getting balanced with

the demand. With the Indian solar power projects now largely dependent on imported components

and equipment, the cost of future solar projects in India would depend on international price trend

of polycrystalline silicon to a considerable extent.

Under the circumstances, there is possibility of production cost of solar power fluctuating in the

future projects and the risks with regard to the price have to be faced both by the government as

well as Adani group, during the 25 year life of solar power projects.

It would have been appropriate if the Tamil Nadu government has proposed a flexible price

structure for solar power projects in the state, based on a set formula, so that tariff can be decided

from time to time once in an year, in tune with the prevailing conditions.

However, neither central government nor any state governments have proposed such flexible

pricing policy so far.

Considering the present controversies in Tamil Nadu, the Tamil Nadu government can propose

such flexible pricing policy to Adani group and the company may readily accept the formula, as it

would protect Adani group also from any price risk factor. A suitable formula can be easily evolved

to arrive at appropriate tariff.

Project schedule:

It is particularly surprising that Adani group have claimed that the project would be completed in

the first quarter of 2016.

Land acquisition for the project is yet to be completed and several state and central government

clearances have to be obtained. Securing environmental clearance is necessary and public hearing

before providing environmental clearance from Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board would be

needed. Order placement process for equipment are yet to be completed and it is not clear

whether financial closure for this project of around Rs . 4000 crores is done.

While It would be appropriate for Adani group to take between 12 to 16 months to implement

this massive project, the schedule announced for completing the project by 1st quarter of 2016

appears to be unrealistic and ambitious.

THE SOLAR-WIND HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

One of the first hybrids that packs both solar and wind generation into a single unit has arrived in

India—SolarMill, developed by US based WindStream Technologies. The installed capacity of a

typical device is expected to be 2.5 kw (1.5 kw of solar and 1 kw of wind). The hybrids are available

in multiple combinations, starting from 750 W (500 W wind, 250 W solar) to 3.25 KW.

The SolarMill will comprise of a solar photovoltaic panel on top. It will have three vertical axis wind

turbines below and a small and efficient battery with storage. The system is guided by integrated

electronics to give it the optimum energy density.

The significance of the product is its ability to produce electricity 24/7 and in all seasons. It will tap

both sunshine during day and also the wind in the location it is installed. At night, it can continue

with power generation even when wind speeds are as low as 4.5mph (2m/s).To ensure scalability

depending on the specific need, the product has been designed to run in series.

The product is designed to work in both on grid and off grid environments. In urban areas, it can

offset rising energy costs, while in remote areas, it can provide the much needed electricity for basic

needs as well as to power internet connectivity or pump up water.

With a minor modification, WindStream Technologies has also come up with a version called

MobileMill. This product can meet emergency power needs in times of natural calamities such as

cyclones and earthquakes or during major accidents.

WindStream Technologies will initially assemble the product in Hyderabad with 80 percent imported

components.

SolarMill will be able to compete with standalone solar or wind devices as well over time and as

volumes grow.

At present, stand alone solar photovoltaic panels, wind turbines and hydropower systems are

providing power to an extent, with seasonal limitations and varying costs.

If conversion efficiency, cost and continuous power supply are the three major bottlenecks

confronting renewable energy sources, hybrid technology seems to be answering one of them

(24/7 supply) convincingly for the moment.

UPDATE ON INDIAN COAL BED METHANE SCENARIO

Present status

The total sedimentary area for CBM exploration in India is of the order of 26,000 sq km. Out of this,

exploration has been initiated in only 52% of the area.

The total CBM resource in the country is estimated at 92 trillion cubic feet (tcf). Out of this,

8.9 trillion cubic feet have been established.

India has auctioned nearly 33 CBM blocks under four rounds.

More than 300 CBM wells are already drilled. Three CBM blocks have already entered development

stage and these are expected to produce seven million standard cubic metres per day (mscmd) of

gas.

However, currently only one block held by GEECL that operates the Raniganj (South) block is under

commercial production. Another block held by Essar Oil in West Bengal has started producing gas

but is not declared commercial yet.

According to DGH, output from CBM blocks was expected to go up to 7.4 mmscmd by 2013-14,

but it was not achieved.

Great Eastern Energy Corporation (GEECL)

CBM project in West Bengal

Since coal bed methane (CBM) remains trapped under water in the coal seams and being a

low pressure gas, production increases with time as more and more water is pumped out.

CBM fields are distinctly different from the traditional oil and gas assets. It takes longer time

to reach peak production. An average CBM well takes 3-6 months for de-watering.

There are a few major factors that affect the quick progress of CBM exploration in India,

such as overlapping of CBM block area with coal mining area, requisite clearances and

environmental issues.

The petroleum ministry is working towards bringing policy changes to boost gas production

from CBM blocks to 10 mmscmd by 2017-18 from less than one mmscmd now.

Nandini Chemical Journal, August 2015 Page 12

UPDATE ON INDIAN COAL BED METHANE SCENARIO

GEECL operates a commercial facility in Ranigunj, West Bengal. The resource there is estimated at

about 2.4 trillion cubic feet.

GEECL, the first company in India to commercially produce CBM, sells around 0.30 to 0.35 mmscmd

to customers in West Bengal.

Proposed project in TN facing uncertainty

GEECL had got licence to explore gas and other geological characteristics at the Mannargudi fields in

Tamil Nadu a few years ago for nearly 667 square kilometers. As per DGH estimation, the

Mannargudi field is expected to have 0.98 TCF (trillion cubic feet) gas.

The project was given environment clearance by union environment ministry.

It proposed to drill 50 crore holes initially. The drilling is to identify the availability of gas and other

geological characteristics like coal/lignite and the potential the field has.

However, the project has been stalled now due to protest by local people.

The company completed drilling 15 production wells in May 2009 and put in place the allied facilities

in line with the phase-I of the minimum work programme. The programme, said to cost about

Rs 100 crore, ended in May, 2010.

For the last few years. Essar has been producing around 0.15 mmscmd of gas or a little over

10 percent of the promised volume. According to Essar sources, low production was because of

delays in land acquisition, environment clearances, geological and other factors.

From 0.15 million metric standard cubic metre a day (mmscmd) in early 2014, Essar ramped up

production of CBM to 0.55 mmscmd in April 2015 and is now extracting at the rate of

0.75 mmscmd.

Essar currently has agreement with at least two prominent industrial facilities in Durgapur to supply

over 1,00,000 cubic metres of gas.

Assets in Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh

On the exploratory CBM assets at Rajmahal (Jharkhand) and Sohagpur (MP), Essar is hopeful to

entering drilling phase in both the assets.

The exploration in blocks adjacent to Rajmahal asset did not yield promising results.

Essar Oil Ltd

CBM project is located at Ranigunj (East),

about 160 km from Kolkata, Raniganj is a

500 sqkm block with total proven and

probable reserves of 113 billion cubic feet

(bcf).There are estimated contingent

resources of 445 bcf and prospective

resources of 297 bcf.

UPDATE ON INDIAN COAL BED METHANE SCENARIO

Phase III Coal bed methane blocks auction

Essar Oil has been allowed to dig up to 650 wells for coal bed methane extraction from Raniganj gas

field, West Bengal, following the grant of phase-III environmental clearance.

Essar Oil plans to drill up to 300 production wells at Ranigunj (East) coal bed methane asset, over

the next one year to boost methane output to approximately 3 million cubic metres.

The project including wells and the associated surface infrastructure is estimated to cost nearly

Rs.2,500 crore.

ONGC

ONGC is targeting a 0.35 mmscmd of CBM from Parbatpur from the adjacent Ranigunj block.

Coal Ministry is expected to discuss the strategy to take out CBM from its Coal India‘s block with

petroleum ministry and upstream regulator Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH). On a

later stage, ONGC may also be roped into collaborate with Coal India to mine CBM.

Phase IV coal bed methane blocks auction

Essar Oil Ltd, Arrow Energy with its consortium and Great Eastern Energy Corporation, signed

production sharing contracts for the acreages awarded under the fourth round of Coal Bed Methane

(CBM) blocks auctions.

Agreements were signed for seven blocks. Essar Oil has bagged four blocks. Arrow Energy has

signed contracts for two blocks in separate consortiums with Oil India and Tata Power, respectively,

while Great Eastern Energy Corporation Ltd has won one block.

These blocks located in Assam, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Tamil Nadu

would bring committed investment of $158 million.

Target for Coal India

81% of CBM block area is with Coal India.

Coal India (CIL) has not made any significant

progress, despite the Government of India

allowing it to go-ahead with CBM mining in

December 2013.

Government of India has asked Coal India to

take up exploration of coal bed methane in

the country expeditiously, with an aim to

ramp up its output to at least five million

standard cubic metres a day (mmscmd) from

less than one mmscmd now.

PLIGHT OF INDIAN MATCH BOX INDUSTRY

ITC is sourcing the matches from small companies in Tamil Nadu and marketing it under its brand.

Popular Wimco match brands Aim,I Kno, Homelite and Ship are now marketed by ITC.

Export prospects

Exports to Africa, are falling down. African countries too have started local production. So, gradually

expoprt demand from Africa may also wane over the years.

Competition from Pakistan

Indian manufacturers are also wilting under stiff competition from countries like Pakistan.

While India sells at $10 per 1,000 boxes globally, Pakistan is able to attract buyers with rates of

$7 to $8. Though Indian matches are superior in quality, the prices have become the deciding factor.

India exports around Rs 240 crore worth of matches annually.

Besides dollar benefits ($1 is over Rs 100 Pakistani rupee), Pakistan has other advantages like

abundant raw material for making splints and cheap labour. Consequently, Pakistan based unites are

able to sell at lower price.

For making match boxes of exportable quality, India imports sturdier poplar wood from abroad to

make splints, which has added to the cost of production. The industry uses 'matti' wood available in

Kerala for making the splints for the domestic market.

Future of the Rs 1,500 crore Indian matchbox industry appears to be uncertain.

Industry revenues have declined 25 per cent in a few years and about 8,000 units have shut

down in a decade 1,500 to 2,000 units that remain — 90 percent of which are concentrated in

a few districts of Tamil Nadu, are facing crisis..

Annual production has dropped from 800 lakh bundles to 700 lakh bundles (one bundle equals

600 match boxes). Yet supply outstrips demand.

Widespread use of gas lighters at home and to an extent, increased awareness on the harmful

effects of smoking and its ban in public spaces and rising cost of production have created

problems for the once thriving industry.

Performance of units

Even a few large companies that

manufacture match boxes are struggling.

Wimco, once the largest match

company in the country, is a case in

point. ITC acquired the entire

shareholding of the company a few

years ago. All the four production units

of erstwhile Wimco at Ambernath,

Chennai, Kolkata and Bareilly are now

shut, the last one this year.

PLIGHT OF INDIAN MATCH BOX INDUSTRY

Government policies.

The reduction of export incentive from 5 per cent to 2 per cent and the exclusion of match industry

from small scale category will adversely hit the industry, according to manufacturers.

Almost half of the total units are mechanized and the matches produced by them attract a duty of

12 per cent.

To avoid duty, the chemical dipped splints produced by many mechanized units are sold through

unorganized sector. As a result, the government's excise duty revenue has dropped to Rs 46 crore

from Rs 100 crore from matches.

The industry is arguing for removal of duty or uniform taxation and re inclusion in the small scale

category for better prospects. Introduction of GST may create supportive environment to enable

the industry to become globally competitive.

Raw material price and availability

Sustained escalation in price of raw materials on the one hand and proliferation of cheaper low

quality products on the other continue to exert severe pressure on sales volumes and margins.

Erratic supply of wax

The safety match manufacturing industry is facing a contraction of paraffin wax, one of the key raw

materials for manufacturing wax matches, owing to erratic supply.

Normally, around 3 lakh bundles of wax

matches could be produced in a month

from 140 factories in Kovilpatti, Sattur,

Sivakasi and Elayirampannai in Tamil

Nadu. But, the production has been

reduced to 2.60 lakh metric tonne. Every

factory require minimum of three metric

tonne of wax. Around 1,100 grams of wax

is required to produce 600 match boxes

in a bundle.

The stakeholders of this industry had

been relying largely on Chennai

Petroleum Corporation Limited for the

required quantity of this key material.

The unreliable supply of wax had

prompted several manufacturers to rely

on import from China, where quality is

not upto the mark.Around twenty

containers of wax a month is imported.

As a result, production cost has escalated

by 10 percent. By incurring high

production cost, the producers are not

able to compete in the market.

FLUCTUATING FORTUNES OF

INDIA’S SUGAR INDUSTRY

According to a preliminary forecast by the Indian Sugar Mills Association (Isma), sugar output in

India, which is the world‘s second largest producer ,is expected to touch 28 million metric tonne in

2015-16, compared with an eight year high of 28.30 million metric tonne this year. Consumption is

expected to go up to 25.2 million metric tonne in 2015-16, up from roughly 24.50 million metric

tonne this year.

This means the current glut in the domestic market would continue unless export prospects

brighten. In 2015-16, Maharashtra could drag down output by 7.6% year on year to 9.7 million

metric tonne. However, output in Uttar Pradesh, could rise 3.5% to 7.35 million metric tonne.

Karnataka could produce 4.98 million metric tonne in 2015-16, slightly higher than 4.96 million

metric tonne it produced in 2014-15. Sugar production in Tamil Nadu is expected to remain at the

same level next year at around 1.27 million metric tonne.

The Indian Sugar Mills Association is

anticipating a better yield in 2015-16,

which may increase sugarcane

production as well as the availability

for crushing by sugar mills.

The association has projected the total

cane acreage in the country at 53.58

lakh hectares in 2015-16, which is

almost similar to the 2014-15 level

when it was 53.23 lakh hectares.

BAJAJ HINDUSTHAN CLOSES

THREE SUGAR UNITS IN UTTAR PRADESH

In a letter to the Uttar Pradesh cane commissioner, the Bajaj Group said that it would shut its

Gangnauli and Pratappur sugar units and also the Walterganj unit of Phenil Sugars, which the

company manages. The move, which comes close on the heels of the closure of Balrampur

Chini‘s Khalilabad unit, is a grim reminder of the grave crisis in the industry.

Asserting that the sugar industry is facing an unprecedented financial crisis on account of

mounting cane arrears, high cane prices and nose diving sugar prices the company said that it

had incurred losses of Rs.2,900 crore in the last three years, leaving the management of the

company with no option but to discontinue operations‖ at these units with immediate effect.

According to industry insiders, this phenomenon is bound to be repeated more often in the

coming days in Uttar Pradesh with more sugar mills declining to commence operations.

According to sources, the sugar business itself has turned unviable, but in Uttar Pradesh,

things have just got worse due to the high cane prices fixed by the state government and the

continuously falling sugar prices, which at present stand at Rs.23 per kg as against the cost of

production being Rs.34 per kg.

India will likely produce surplus sugar for a sixth straight year through 2015-16, despite a

marginal drop in output expected for the next marketing year starting October due to erratic

monsoon.

RARE EARTHS – GLOBAL SCENARIO

Application areas

Rare earths are essential for a variety of high technology applications, including permanent magnets,

batteries, electronic goods, wind turbines, and energy efficient lighting.

Rare earth elements main uses are in permanent magnets, about 24% of total consumption, polishing

powders, fluid cracking and automotive catalysts, alloys, and batteries, each at about 10 to 12%.

REEs also critical for several key military systems such as laser targeting devices, range finders,

head up displays and phased array radar. The US Department of Energy has identified neodymium,

dysprosium, europium, yttrium, and terbium as being at critical risk in the short and medium terms,

with cerium and lanthanum being near critical in the short term.

Supply from China

China, currently supplies approximately 95% of the global REE market.

China halted export quotas for rare earths in response to a World Trade Organization (WTO;

Geneva) ruling, although production quotas remain in place. Tight Chinese quotas had driven up

prices in 2010 and 2011.

Search for substitute products

The European Commission and the US government have placed neodymium, dysprosium and

samarium on a list of critical elements. Leading up to 2012, practically no end of life magnets were

recycled. Over the last few years, recycling rare earth magnets has become an important issue.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are moderately abundant in the earth‘s crust, but minable

concentrations are less common than for most other ores. The most common is cerium,

which is more abundant than copper, nickel, or lead. All rare earth elements except

promethium are more abundant than silver, according to the United States Geological Survey

(USGS),

Nandini Chemical Journal, August 2015 Page 18

RARE EARTHS – GLOBAL SCENARIO

Industry and governments are looking for ways to substitute REEs with less costly alternatives that

have more secure supply.

Japan is looking to decrease demand of REEs from China by reducing consumption and finding

substitutes for REEs in applications such as permanent magnet motors, hybrid electric vehicles

(HEVs) and wind turbine generators,. Substitutes are available for many applications but are generally

less effective. Limited quantities of REEs are recycled from batteries, permanent magnets, and

fluorescent lamps.

Neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and lanthanum are forecast to have a compound annual

growth rate of 8% over 2012–20, according to Lynas. The supplies of dysprosium and

neodymium/praseodymium are expected to reach only 70% and 50% of demand, respectively, in

2020, according to Lynas data.

Resources

Few rare earth deposits are worked exclusively for the REEs, Molycorp‘s mine at Mountain Pass,

CA, and the new Mount Weld mine in Western Australia are exploited solely for REEs.

Molycorp‘s mine was reopened in 2012 after being closed in 2002. The company announced in 2013

that it was ramping up production of REEs, with further expansion planned in a second phase. Lynas

is producing REEs at its Mount Weld mine. The company produced 3,965 tonnes of REOs in 2014.

The Mount Weld deposit is acknowledged as the highest grade REE mine in the world. The higher

value elements neodymium and praseodymium constitute approximately 30% of the REE

composition of Mount Weld concentrate.

Feasibility study in Australia

Hastings Rare Metals is conducting a pre feasibility study on its project at Yangibana, Western

Australia. The resource is estimated to contain 23,500 metric tonne of neodymium oxide;

6,600 metric tonne praseodymium oxide; 360 metric tonne dysprosium oxide; and 625 metric

tonne europium oxide.

Global consumption

Lanthanum and cerium account for 57% of the world‘s

consumption of rare earth oxides (REOs), followed by neodymium

(21%), yttrium (10%), and praseodymium (7.5%).

The global consumption of REEs is expected to increase to

160,000 metric tonne in 2017, at a compound annual growth rate

of 5.5% from 2014 through 2017,.

Industry prospects

Average annual growth rate in demand during 2012–17 will be

about 12% for magnets, 8.5% for polishing powders, and 6% for

batteries. Forecasts indicate that a significant shortfall is likely in

both the short and medium terms. The disparity between the

supply and demand for dysprosium oxide in 2015 has been

increasing—and will grow even further in 2020.

Rare-earths miner Molycorp on verge of bankruptcy

Molycorp, the sole US based producer of rare earth oxides, is preparing to file for bankruptcy,

according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.. It has reported losses in most of the past three

years, including a full year 2014 loss—$607.8 million.

The company has reported mounting losses in recent period due to soft prices for rare earths and

operational issues at its Mountain Pass, CA, production facilities.

Rare earths miner Molycorp filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on 25 June for most of its

US operations in order to restructure its $1.7 billion in debt obligations.

Molycorp‘s European and Asian operations are ―cash flow positive‖ and are not covered by the filing.

The Molycorp Rare Metals business is also not included, since it is not fully owned by the company.

PRODUCTION COST OF MICROALGAL

BY ALTERNATE ROUTES

Dr D M Mohunta

E-mail:[email protected]

Three types of microalgal production systems were studied namely open ponds, tubular photo

bioreactors and flat panel photo bioreactors (PBRs).

The biomass yield per surface area in a tubular PBR is twice as high as in an open pond and three

times as high in a flat panel PBR

PBR system

The cost price per 1,000 m2 for producing algal biomass in a PBR is much lower than for algal

biomass produced in open ponds. This is largely because of the lower cost of capital items and

labour.

The only item that is more expensive for PBRs is the cost of energy. A flat panel PBR shows the

lowest algal cost price.

The cost per kg of biomass becomes similar for all three systems, when the production volumes are

high (approximately €5 per kg of dry mass). Electricity is the highest cost item.

Processing algae into energy carriers

The following table shows the potential production volume for the energy products from

1.5 million kg of algae. According to the calculation model, the cost price for processing these

energy products are much higher than the current market sales prices.

Biodiesel Bioethanol Methane

Production volume 316,000 L 232,000 kg 520,000 Nm3

Cost price 25.56 €/L 33.34 €/kg 20.05 €/Nm3

Sale price 0.52 €/L 0.41 €/kg 0.22 €/Nm3

The cost of the algae is the largest cost item. But even if algae were freely available, the downstream

process cost would still be higher than the sale price. So, a significant drop in the production and

processing cost is needed before algae can be used as a source of energy.

Open pond system

According to the model, the annual algal biomass

production in an open pond measuring 1,000 m2 in Lelystad

is 1,538 kg of dry mass. This represents 15 metric tonne of

dry mass per hectare.

Huge algal production volumes are

needed to produce energy carriers

from algae. A surface area of 100 ha

of open ponds, 50 ha of tubular PBRs

or 30 ha of flat panel PBRs is needed

to produce around 1,500 metric

tonne of dry algal biomass (the

minimum volume of algae needed for

a digester).

PLANT CLOSURE

Dow Chemical to quit chlorinated polyethylene

Dow Chemical will discontinue producing chlorinated polyethylene (PE).

The company makes chlorinated PE at its Stade, Germany site.

The Mogadore plant will continue to make SB lattices, as well as polymers for non wovens,

construction, adhesives and oil and gas applications. The Calhoun facility will be converted to a

distribution and technical service center for carpet customers, and other customers in the US

southeast.

The shutdowns are part of a shift by Omnova away from SB latex, which is used in the declining

paper market, as well as in the carpet and tire end markets.

While production of n-butyllithium will be transferred to Germany and Taiwan,

the New Johnsonville facility will continue to manufacture some specialty lithium products and will

support blending operations for customers in North America.

Due to global shift in demand for n-butyllithium, the assets in Germany and Taiwan are more

strategically located to support future growth in this industry.

*****

Teijin‘s decision to close the

Singapore PC plant forms part of

the company‘s strategy to re

ANTI DUMPING PAGE

Aluminium

Forced to operate their plants at nearly half the capacity due to import from China, aluminium

companies in India have urged the Government of India to raise import duty on aluminium metal

scrap and the metal itself to 10% from 2.5% and 5%, respectively.

In a presentation to the mines ministry, aluminium producers said though the country‘s installed

production capacity currently stands at 4.2 million metric tonne, the production was just half of that

in the previous fiscal, mainly because of cheaper import. As a result, their share in domestic

consumption fell to 44% last fiscal from 60% in FY11. During the same period, the share of import

went up to 56% from 40%.

China and West Asia contribute to a lion‘s share of aluminium import to India, which consumed

around 2.8 million metric tonne last fiscal. Companies from these countries enjoy an advantage of

around $100 per metric tonne over Indian firms‘ cost of production of $1,750 a metric tonne.

The surge in imports from China and West Asia was a whopping 159% at 1.56 million metric tonne

in 2015 against 0.88 million metric tonne in 2011. This has forced the Indian units to underutilise the

domestic aluminum production capacity.

China, which accounts for 50% of global aluminium production, is exporting more than 20% of its

produce and its exports to India have surged 32% CAGR in last five years. Import from West Asia

during the period have gone up 14% CAGR, Aluminium Association of India (AAI) said in its

presentation.

The cost of generation of electricity, which accounts for nearly 40% of the total domestic cost of

aluminium production, has gone up drastically, with coal prices having risen 24% in the last three

years. Shortage of bauxite and alumina for aluminium smelters has also posed a threat.

To capture global markets and gain competitive edge, China offers indirect subsidy like power tariff

discounts of around $200 per metric tonne to aluminium smelters, 13% VAT rebate on exports and

favourable terms of credit to its companies. Besides, China has also reduced freight rates and

removed import duty on alumina for its producers.

*****

The provisional duties last for six months, by which time the EU's executive Commission will have

completed its investigation, which may result in the imposition of definitive duties normally lasting

five years.

*****

Aluminium foil

The European Union will impose anti-dumping duty on

import of Russian aluminium foil, after an initial

investigation showed that the product was sold in the

28-nation EU at below normal market prices, the EU's

Official Journal said.

EU said that a provisional anti dumping duty of

12.2 percent will be levied on import of aluminium foil

from Russia, which is all made by the Rusal group, the

world's largest aluminium producer.

ANTI DUMPING PAGE

Phenol

The Finance Ministry of Government of India has imposed definitive anti dumping duty on phenol

import from South Africa.

Based on the recommendations of the Designated Authority in the Commerce Ministry in its Sunset

review investigations, the revenue department has imposed an anti dumping duty of $ 342.76 per

metric tonne on all phenol import from South Africa.

This anti-dumping duty will be valid for a period of five years.

The petition seeking continuation of anti dumping duty on phenol imports from South Africa was

filed by Hindustan Organic Chemicals Limited and S I Group Limited, who are the only producers of

phenol in the country.

*****

Solar panel

India has warned US Government that it may initiate anti dumping investigation against solar panels

imported from America, if it does not withdraw its complaint against India‘s compulsory domestic

sourcing rules for solar power generation at the WTO.

India had been dragged to the WTO by the US for mandating that a small fraction (about 8,000 MW

of a total of 1,00,000 MW its solar projects) be created with domestic modules. USA says that the

clause goes against the WTO rule of ‗national treatment‘.

Indian government is under pressure from domestic manufacturers for action against cheap imports.

While the solar panel manufacturers want the government to impose anti dumping duties (penal

duties imposed when exporter sells goods in foreign markets at prices lower than what it charges in

domestic market) against cheap panels and modules flowing in from the US and China,

the generating companies want import of the cheap inputs to be encouraged.

If the WTO rules in favour of the US and India is forced to remove the domestic content

requirement norm, it may then have to seriously re examine the option of imposing anti dumping

duties to protect domestic solar panel producers.

Application

Caprolactam

Liquid form Used in manufacturing of nylon-6

polymer copolymer

Caprolactam flakes Solid flakes

Application sector

Caprolactam is a monomer and is a base material for production of nylon-6. Caprolactam is

produced and sold in both liquid and solid forms. There is no difference in the liquid or solid form,

except for the difference in the physical forms.

Major non fiber applications of nylon 6 include general civil plastics, engineering plastics (mainly for

cast moulding components used in automobiles and electric appliances) and bio oriented nylon films,

Outline of process

General details

Caprolactam is produced from cyclohexane / benzene. Ammonium sulphate is produced as

co product in the process.

Most caprolactam production in the world is based on the catalytic hydrogenation of benzene

because of its simplicity and high efficiency. The reaction can be carried out either by liquid or

vapour Fphase methods in the presence of a highly dispersed catalyst or in a catalytic fixed bed.

Processes differ mainly in the means of removing the heat of reaction. Minimum reactor

temperature is preferred for maximum benzene conversion and minimum cyclohexane cracking.

Process outline

The process involves desulphurization of benzene, which is then hydrogenated into cyclohexane in

vapour phase.

Cyclohexane in turn is converted through a series of reactions into cyclohexanone oxime.

Oleum acts as catalyst to convert the cyclohexanone oxime into lactum-sulphate. Oleum accelerates

the 'Beckmann Rearrangement Reaction'.

The said lactum sulphate is neutralized with ammonia in an aqueous medium, which results in the

production of caprolactam, ammonium sulphate and water.

The caprolactam product does not contain any element of sulphur whatever.

Oleum is only used as a catalyst and does not constitute any part of the molecular structure of

caprolactam. The entire quantity of oleum goes into the production of ammonium sulphate.

CAPROLACTAM – GLOBAL SCENARIO

Plant closure

* Name of the organization Mitsubishi Chemical

Mitsubishi Chemical shut its caprolactam and cyclohexanone production units at Kurosaki, Japan.

DSM signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire Mitsubishi Chemical‘s nylon business in

exchange for DSM‘s polycarbonate business.

* Name of the organization Ube Industries

Ube Industries ceased production of caprolactam at Sakai, Japan, by March 2014.

Ube says that it‘s market share has been heavily eroded by the entry of new manufacturers and

expansion by existing manufacturers, mainly in China.

Ube has also ceased production of caprolactam derivatives at Sakai. Plants to be dismantled at the

site have capacity for 100,000 metric tonne per year of caprolactam; 200,000 metric tonne per year

of ammonia; 160,000 metric tonne per year of ammonium sulfate; 99,000 metric tonne per year of

liquefied carbon dioxide; and 5,000 metric tonne per year of 1,6-hexanediol.

Ube produces caprolactam at three other sites: Ube, Japan; Grao de Castellon, Spain; and Mueang

Rayong, Thailand.

The Sakai facility is the least competitive because of high manufacturing costs.

Ube, meanwhile, plans to dedicate the Sakai site mainly to specialties, including lithium-ion battery

materials.

Scenario in China

As of the end of 2014, China had 12 caprolactam producers with a total capacity of 2 350 kilo

metric tonne per annum (excluding the units being built by Fujian Shenyuan New Material Co., Ltd.,

Fujian Jinjiang Technology Co., Ltd., Risun Chemical Co., Ltd. and Henan Pingmei Shenma Group,

etc.).

While capacity expanded rapidly, operating rates decreased significantly. The overall operating rate

was less than 60% in 2012, only 65.82% in 2013, and still lower in 2014.

L-Lysine/L-Lysine HCl should be stored in cool, dry place in well-closed containers.

Product application

L-Lysine

L-Lysine is used in the production of L-Lysine HCl

L-Lysine HCl

Animal feed

L-Lysine HCl is used in pig and poultry feed.

The most common commercial form of L-Lysine used in animal feed is 98% L-Lysine HCl.

It is equivalent to 78.4% of amino acid L-Lysine, which can be metabolised by animals to body

proteins. The supplementation level is about 0.5% L-Lysine in feed.

When used as animal feed additive, L-Lysine HCl helps to improve the amino acid balance of the

feed component, thereby promoting animal growth and improving meat quality.

As most animal feed are based on maize and other grains, supplementing the foodstuffs with L-Lysine

HCl significantly improve the nutritional value for breeding poultry and pigs.

L-LYSINE – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Pharmaceutical industry

L-Lysine HCl is used as nutrient; appetite stimulant; as parenteral protein supplementation during

surgical stress and various pathological conditions and as haematopoietic drug.

Food industry

L-Lysine HCl biologically active in its L-configuration, is an essential amino acid in human and animal

nutrition. L-Lysine HCl is contained in good measure in fish meal and in soyabean meal.

It is used in food enrichment. Supplementation of wheat based foods with L-Lysine HCl improves

their quality and results in improved growth and tissue synthesis.

Plant products, particularly cereal grains like corn, wheat and rice are usually low in L-Lysine.

Because of L-Lysine deficiency, these grains are of poorer quality than animal derived proteins, which

contain higher levels of L-Lysine and command higher prices.

For applications in human food, L-Lysine in its salt forms can be added to cookies and bread and in

solutions can be used to soak rice.

Indian manufacturers and their installed capacity --- Period April 2015 to March 2016

L-Lysine

There is no manufacturer for L-Lysine in India.

L-Lysine HCl

Indian producer of L-Lysine HCl import L-Lysine and convert it into

L-Lysine HCl by neutralisation of the basic amino group with hydrochloric acid.

L-LYSINE – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Global outlook

There is increased demand for L-Lysine HCl from swine feed makers. Swine feed producers are

using more L-Lysine and less crude protein such as soya bean and corn.

In addition to the worldwide increase in livestock production to cope with expanding meat

consumption in Asia, including China, the sharp hike in soyabean meal price is pushing up demand for

L-Lysine. Reflecting this situation, L-Lysine demand is likely to go up steadily.

About 58% of the global total consumption of L-Lysine is used in pig feed additive.

CAGR from 2014 to 2020 7%

Manufacturing process

L-Lysine

The fermentation process for L-Lysine from molasses can be represented as follows.

C12H22O11 + SO2 + 2NH3 ----------- C6H14N2O2 + 6CO2 + 7H2O

Instead of molasses, starch can be used as basic raw material.

L-Lysine HCl

L-Lysine is treated with 10% hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to 4.5 to 4.7. It is then heated with

activated carbon at 80 deg.C. for 40 min. to eliminate the colour and then filtered.

Prognosis

There is no production of L-Lysine in the country at present.

The Indian requirement of L-Lysine HCl is almost entirely met by imports.

The integrated project for the production of L-Lysine / L-Lysine HCl with starch as the starting raw

materials is a viable investment opportunity.

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, along with diamond and graphite, discovered in 2004,

for which Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester won the

Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.

Graphene is a sheet of carbon that is a single-atom thick. The material possesses a number

of remarkable properties, exceptionally light; 200 times stronger than steel; extremely

flexible; and has outstanding thermal, optical, and electrical properties.

Graphene has an electron mobility 70 times that of silicon and a thermal conductivity ten

times that of copper.

Potential applications include high-frequency electronics, sensors, nanocomposites, flexible

electronics, and energy conversion and storage.

The European Commission implemented its Graphene Flagship in 2013, an initiative that will

see €1 billion ($1.13 billion) spent on graphene research in ten years.

The company started up its integrated pilot plant for the production of

graphene products in December 2014. The plant has the capacity to

produce one kilogram per day of graphene, which will provide supply

of prototyping materials and support development of graphene-based

applications with customers, he says.

The production process involves physical exfoliation of graphite in

solvents.

CHINA IS WORLD’S

LARGEST ENERGY CONSUMER

China dominates world energy, remaining the world‘s largest energy consumer, producer

and net importer, BP said in the report.

China‘s energy consumption grew by 2.6% in 2014. This was less than half the ten-year

average growth rate of 6.6% and the slowest annual rate of growth since 1998.

China remained the world‘s largest energy consumer and accounted for 23% of global

energy consumption and 61% of net global energy growth. Among the fossil fuels,

consumption growth was led by natural gas (+8.6%), followed by oil (+3.3%) and then coal

(+0.1%). All was significantly below their ten-year averages.

Renewables grew 15.1% over the year. Chinese renewables now account for 16.7% of the

global total, up from 1.2% just ten years ago. Nuclear power grew 13.2%,more than

doubling production over the last seven years.

China's net oil imports increased by 8.4% to 7.0 Mb/d, the highest in its history. China

passed the US as the world's largest oil importer.

China‘s energy mix continues

to evolve.While coal remains

the dominant fuel, accounting

for 66% of China‘s energy

consumption, this was the

lowest share on record and

down from recent highs of

74% in the mid-2000s.

China's energy production

grew by just 0.2% in 2014, well

below the ten year average of

5.9%. The weak growth was

due to coal which fell by 2.6%,

compared to the ten-year

average of +5.3%. This was the

first fall in coal production in

China since 1998.

Production in all other fossil

fuels grew: natural gas by 7.7%

and oil by 0.7%. Among

non fossil fuels, hydro grew

the fastest (+15.7%). Hydro

now makes up nearly one fifth

(19%) of China's electricity.

AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE Insects as alternative protein source

All Things Bugs, LLC, a US based company which will produce about 25,000 pounds of cricket

powder this year, has received research grants for several projects related to using insects as food,

including how it can alleviate childhood malnutrition.

According to the research at Tel Aviv University and Hebrew University, the administration of the

non-psychotropic component cannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) helps heal bone fractures. The study,

conducted on rats with mid femoral fractures, found that CBD - even when isolated from

tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive component of cannabis markedly enhanced

the healing process of the femora after just eight weeks.

This paves the way for the future use of cannabinoid drugs to combat osteoporosis and other bone-

related ailments, the researchers said.

*****

Turmeric to fight diabetes

Curcumin, derived from turmeric, is part of the ginger family and commonly used for food

colouration. Its healing properties are well known in India. Turmeric has been used for centuries to

promote healing of bruises, sprains, wounds and inflammation.

Curcumin, a substance in turmeric, combined with omega-3 fat may potentially delay or prevent the

onset of type-2 diabetes, say researchers led by an Indian origin scientist.

―The root cause of type-2 diabetes is systemic inflammation, which impacts insulin secretion and

function,‖ Professor Garg said. This study will use two bioactive compounds that we find in food —

curcumin and omega-3 fat. Both are very important anti inflammatory agents,‖ he said.

There are several properties that make insects a valuable food

source.They use less land, water, feed, energy and other

resources than livestock. Insects create fewer greenhouse gases

and are not contaminated with pesticides. They also do not

have any hormones in their bodies.Moreover, they reproduce

quickly whereby they can replace depleted resources. They have

protein and Omega 3s, a class of essential fatty acids that help

lower cholesterol.

There are millions of insect species, so it is easy to find a match

to a location's need.

Marijuana can help treat fractures

A component in marijuana can significantly help heal bone

fractures, according to a new study that paves the way for

future use of cannabinoid drugs to combat osteoporosis and

other bone-related diseases.

Health scientists from the University of

Newcastle‘s Nutraceuticals Research Group, led

by Professor Manohar Garg, are seeking

80 recruits for a new clinical study to find out

whether the Indian spice combined with an

omega-3 fat can delay the onset of type-2

diabetes or prevent it altogether.

PHARMA PAGE GM mosquitoes check dengue in Brazil

The use of genetically engineered mosquitoes to control dengue and chikungunya causing Aedes

aegypti mosquito population in the wild got a shot in the arm due to study undertaken in Juazeiro,

northeast Brazil. Researchers successfully reduced the A. aegypti population in the wild by as much

as 95 per cent, thus effectively preventing dengue and chikungunya epidemic disease. The study was

carried out in 2011-12.

The transgenic mosquitoes compete with the naturally occurring A. aegypti male mosquitoes to

mate with the females. With sustained release, the number of transgenic mosquitoes outnumbered

and suppressed the naturally occurring wild males.

The offspring from the mating of transgenic male A. aegypti mosquitoes with female mosquitoes die

before adulthood (at the larval or pupal stage) as a consequence of transgenic modification. As a

result, the number of female mosquitoes that can cause dengue falls dramatically. Since the male

mosquitoes do not bite humans, the release of transgenic males will not increase the risk of dengue.

However, the suppression of wild A. aegypti mosquitoes depends on the arrival of pre mated female

mosquitoes from outside the treated area. According to studies, the dispersal distance of A. aegypti

mosquitoes is no more than 100 metres. ―Effects of immigration would therefore likely be limited to

a relatively small boundary zone in a larger programme, or not even that if the whole of an isolated

population were treated,‖ the authors write.

Following approval of the Oxitec mosquito by the national biosafety group (CTNBio) for release

throughout Brazil, the city of Piracicaba has started the world‘s first municipal project of genetically

engineered mosquito control.

*****

The European Medicines Agency has endorsed the drug and will now need the approval of health

officials in sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease affected 198 million people in 2013. Mosquirix, also

part funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will be examined by the World Health

Organization. The vaccine could cost $5.

New drug could slow Alzheimer's decline: Study

Patients with mild Alzheimer's disease who took Eli Lilly and Co's experimental drug solanezumab

early in the course of their disease preserved more of their cognitive and functional ability, according

to new Lilly data released.

The results, published recently in the journal PLOS Neglected Tropical

Diseases, are in line with an earlier field trial at Grand Cayman.

Sustained release of genetically modified sterile male mosquitoes (OX513A)

in the city every week for one year by Oxitec, a British company founded

and part owned by the University of Oxford, helped cut the transmission

rate drastically.

Malaria vaccine

British pharma company GlaxoSmithKline has announced that their vaccine

Mosquirix is the world‘s first vaccine against malaria.

The vaccine targets a particular type of malaria (plasmodium falciparum), which is

found almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa. It has not been shown to be

efficiacious against the plasmodium vivax malaria parasite, which is predominant in

Asia. Thus it will not be a vaccine for India.

PHARMA PAGE

In 2012, the original 18 month studies of solanezumab, called Expedition and Expedition 2, each

included about 1,000 patients with mild to moderate disease. The drug failed to slow cognitive

declines or loss of abilities of daily living for the entire patient population.

But when Lilly analyzed results only for mild patients, the data suggested solanezumab caused a

significant 34 percent slowdown in mental decline and an 18 percent slowdown in loss of functional

abilities compared to placebo, researchers said.

To better assess whether mildly impaired patients benefit from the drug, Lilly extended its two trials

by another two years and only enrolled those with mild disease. Researchers continued to provide

solanezumab to patients who had taken it during the studies and also allowed patients who had been

given placebos to switch over to solanezumab.

Tweaked mosquitoes to fight dengue

China has set up the world's largest mosquito factory in Guangzhou province to tackle dengue fever,

by releasing one million sterilized mosquitoes every week in a bid to dilute their population.

Last year, China had the worst outbreak in two decades with 47,000 cases. Catch one strain, the

person will be immune to the virus in future, but if bitten by a mosquito carrying another one of the

strains, the chances to develop dengue, becomes high. No vaccine or treatment is available and

recently it has caused about 22,000 deaths a year worldwide, mostly among children.

*****

Lilly presented new followup data from two large trials of the

infused medicine at the Alzheimer's Association International

Conference ( AAIC) in Washington.

Till now researchers and investors have been keen to see if the

results would firm up solanezumab as a lead contender to be the

first treatment to effectively slow progression of the memory

robbing disease.

Located in Guangzhou's

Science City area, produced

mosquitoes are released to

the Shazi Island every week to

combat the fever. This was

the first trial test in the field

and has been proved to

reduce the mosquito

population by 90%.

Releasing sterilized mosquito

to the wild is one of several

innovative attempts to tackle

the breakbone disease

(so named because the

sickness causes an agonizing

pain) by diluting the mosquito

population with insects that

don't carry the disease.

39 MORE DRUGS BROUGHT UNDER PRICE CONTROL AMBIT

BY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

Government of India has brought 39 more drugs used to treat various diseases such as diabetes and digestive disorders under price control, as part of its efforts to make medicines

affordable in the country.

The new medicines are the latest additions to the price control list, which covers over 500 drugs. Earlier in May, NPPA had capped the prices of 30 formulation packs, including

those used to treat diseases such as tuberculosis, diabetes and asthma.

At present, the government caps prices of essential drugs based on the simple average of all medicines in a particular therapeutic segment with sales of more than 1 per cent.

In other cases, companies are allowed to hike prices by only up to 10 per cent in a year.

The government had notified DPCO, 2013, which covers 680 formulations, effective May 15,

2014, replacing the 1995 order that regulated only 74 bulk drugs.

As per the notification, the prices of

formulations including ciprofloxacin hydrochloride,cefotaxime, paracetamol,

domperidone and metformin+glimepiride have been fixed.

The latest move of the government will

impact various pharmaceutical companies, including Cadila Healthcare,

Lupin, IPCA Laboratories, Abbott Laboratories and GlaxoSmithKline.

ENERGY PAGE 46,000 MW projects in India face viability issues – Findings of the study

More than 46,000 MW of power projects, mostly belonging to by the private sector, face significant

risks due to lack of long term buyers for electricity, insufficient fuel supply arrangements and

aggressive price bids by the developers, said Crisil Rating in a report.

Another 16,000 MW of power projects are unable to pass on the higher price of imported coal and

aggressive bidding carried out by the promoters at the time of winning the projects.

For nearly 13,000 MW of capacity, coal supply is inadequate, leading to under utilisation and lower

plant load factors. Some projects have also been hit because of de allocation of coal blocks.

Another 4,000 MW of projects are under stress because of aggressive bidding to win coal blocks

with no recourse to pass through the tariff as the fixed cost of fuel has been capped.

RIL, to relinquish two gas discoveries off East Coast

Reliance Industries (RIL) has decided to relinquish two gas discoveries off the east coast and opted

to carry out government prescribed confirmation tests to retain three other finds.

The company will conduct DST on discoveries D-32 in NEC-25 block and D-29 and D-30 in KG D6

block.

The new policy gives companies options to either develop the finds at their own risk or perform

upstream regulator DGH prescribed conformity tests before developing them and recoup the entire

cost.

*****

Notification on emission norms for thermal coal plants

A draft notification issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) in mid May for thermal

coal power plants to drastically reduce their emissions.

Of 46,000 MW of capacities at risk, nearly 36,000 MW is based on

coal and another 10,000 MW requires natural gas as fuel.

Out of 36,000 MW coal-based capacity, about 33,000 MW was

added between April 2009 and March 2015. Another 3,000 MW of

capacity is expected to be commissioned by March 2016.

For 3,000 MW capacity, there are no long-term buyers in the form

of power purchase agreements and they could be impacted by the

volatility in the short-term electricity market.

Accepting a government offer to conduct Drill Stem Test

(DST) under limited cost to retain gas discoveries that

otherwise would have been taken away for not meeting

timelines, RIL has opted to do confirmatory test on two of the

three contentious gas finds in the KG-D6 block and one of the

two discoveries in question in NEC-25 block.

RIL and its partners -- BP plc of UK and Canada's Niko

Resources – plan to relinquish discoveries D-40 in NEC-25

block off the Odisha coast and D-31 in KG D6 block.

ENERGY PAGE

The proposed notification has asked the power companies to reduce emissions of particulate matter

to 100 mg/Nm3 for units that have been installed before December 31, 2003. For those units

installed between 2004 and 2006, the emissions limit is being set to 50 mg/Nm3. For plants coming

up after January 2017, the emission level is pegged at 30 mg/Nm3. The draft notification has not

mentioned standards for plants set up between 2007 and 2017.

The emission norms will require them to install equipments such as electrostatic precipitators (esp)

and flue gas desulfurisation units.

To refurbish old ESPs or install new ones, it will cost Rs.40-50 crore for a unit. For refurbishment,

plants will have to be in a partial shutdown for 12 months.

Utilities controlled by State Governments could be the worst hit, as they are saddled with older

technology. Some State Government utilities may not even find it economical to run such plants.

They could shutdown the plant.

Sources in the MoEF said that final notification on the emissions could be brought out as early as mid

October.

The biggest source of pollution from thermal coal power plants is

particulate matter, which is a sum of all solid and liquid particles

suspended in air. In India, the particulate emission norm for an

average power plant is 150 milligram per normal cubic metre

(mg/Nm3).

.

PRICE DETAILS

Oversupply of crude oil in the world market has led to near halving of oil drilling activities

in North America in the past four months, thereby affecting the offtake of guar gum in

India as well.

Price of guar gum, a key ingredient in oil drilling, have fallen nearly 50% since April, 2015

and the slide is continuing. Price of guar gum, which were hovering around Rs.150 a kg in

April have dropped to Rs.80 a kg.

Nearly 80% of the manufacturing units in India have shut down temporarily to tide over

the present crisis. There are 300 such manufacturing units spread across Rajasthan,

Haryana and Gujarat.

In the past four months, exports have dropped 60%, compared to the year ago period, to

20,000 metric tonne.

Guar gum price

Guar gum is used by drilling companies to thicken water that is

mixed with sand and pumped through shale rock cracks to

extract gas.

India is a leading exporter of guar gum, commanding about 80%

of global production, followed by Pakistan. Guar gum is derived

from guar seeds (cluster beans), a legume crop that gros in semi

arid regions of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana.
