In India, most of the petrochemicals are in short supply, resulting in steady increase in the import. In view of the short supply scenario in India, the Indian market for the petrochemicals remain as seller’s market. Due to the high price of the petrochemicals in Indian market, demand growth is not taking place to the potential level. There is strong case for reducing the price of petrochemicals in tune with the price fall of crude oil / natural gas. This would boost the demand for several petrochemicals and derivative products and contribute to the over all growth of the Indian industries and Indian economy . However, Indian industries, whether in public sector or private sector, do not seem to be impressed with such proactive policy and approach, that would contribute to the long term growth of the industries by creating strong demand base. It is high time that they should reorient the strategies.

In the last few months, price of crude oil has fallen sharply in the global market. Recently, Government of India announced the cut in price of natural gas. Obviously, the petroleum refineries and petrochemical units are the beneficiaries due to the reduction in the price of crude oil / natural gas. However, the industries which readily increased the price of finished products whenever the price of crude oil / natural gas increased in the past, are now reluctant to reduce the price of the products in tune with the price fall of crude oil / natural gas. This only reflects the counter productive and short sighted approach of the industries.


WHY NOT INDUSTRY PASS ON BENEFITS OF CRUDE OIL / GA S PRICE FALL TO CONSUMERS TO BOOST DEMAND & GROWTH ?

Naphtha price fall Naphtha is the building block for the production of urea fertilizer and several petrochemicals. The price of naphtha which is produced from crude oil / natural gas has fallen sharply in the international market. It has happened due to fall in the price of crude oil and also the development of shale gas production in USA. With the large availability of shale gas in US, consumption of naphtha in US has reduced considerably creating surplus scenario for naphtha in USA and glut in the global naphtha supply market.

The price of naphtha has dropped by over 75 % between April 2014 and Feb 2015. Natural gas price cut by 8% to $4.66 per unit Government of India has cut the natural gas price by 8% from 1st April 2015, aligning it with the international benchmarks with which it is linked by a formula. The government had introduced a local gas pricing formula in October that takes the average annual price at four energy hubs in the US, Canada, Russia and the European Union to calculate the gas price . In its first revision since the introduction of the formula, the price has been cut to $4.66 per million British thermal unit (mmbtu) on gross calorific value basis. On net calorific value basis, it will cost about $5.18 per unit compared with $5.61 previously. The gas prices are due for revision every six months. The reduction follows the global decline in oil and gas prices. Since June last year, crude oil prices have almost halved and the price of liquefied natural gas has slumped to less than $8 a unit from $14. Lower gas prices act as a disincentive to explorers as it reduces returns on billions of dollars of risk capital.


IS PRIME MINISTER’S PLANS TO CUT OIL, GAS IMPORT BY 2022 FAR FETCHED ?

Setting targets is a good idea, as it provides sense of direction to the country .

However, in the past, it has been seen that such targets have been rarely achieved due to various

constraints.

Considering the oil and gas exploration efforts in the past and huge disappointment created by the

performance of Krishna-Godavari basin with regard to natural gas production, one can not but

remain skeptical about the target set by the prime minister. Gas / oil exploration efforts are always

considered as calculated risk and a few explored gas wells may be found unviable and may have to

be abandoned.

Prime Minister said that India needs to bring down its import dependence on oil and gas by 2022. “We currently import around 77 per cent in energy sector, in oil, gas and petroleum sector. We can reduce this import by at least 10 percent by 2022. This 10 percent we will produce ourselves and this should be our dream,” Prime Minister said. “If we become successful in reducing import by 10 percent in 2022, by achieving 10 percent growth in domestic production, then I can assure you that by 2030 we can reduce this import to 50 percent,” Prime Minister added. While Prime Minister’s target to cut import of oil and gas by 10% by 2022 is laudable, one wonder

whether it would be achievable?

For example, a few years back, it was

decided by the then government that

the target for solar power generation

would be 20,000 MW by

2022.However, even by 2015, the

country has just reached around

3000 MW solar power capacity only.

Now, it is clearly seen that achieving

20,000 MW solar power by 2022 is a

far fetched idea and bas become

unachievable target .

Now, there is a proposal to scale up

grid connected solar power projects

from 20,000 MW to 100,000 MW by

2022 under National Solar Mission.

The plan of action to achieve the

target is under preparation.

Year 2022 is not far away.!

As India’s consumption of gas and crude oil are steadily going up at 7 to 9 percent per annum, the

country is likely to become more and more import dependent in the coming years. Even as the

exploration efforts would continue, considering the past performance of oil and gas exploration

efforts in India, it appears that India has to look for alternative and appropriate source of energy to

fulfill its future needs. Certainly, this can not be energy based on oil and natural gas alone.

Solar power

While the solar power projects certainly provide exciting prospects as source of energy, the efforts

have to be much more vigorous and determined than seen so far.However, solar power can meet

only small part of the national energy need, even by most optimistic estimate.

IS PRIME MINISTER’S PLANS TO CUT OIL, GAS IMPORTS BY 2022 FAR FETCHED ?

Wind power On shore wind power projects have limitations, as adequate wind speed is available only in 4 to 5 months every year. Off shore wind power is appropriate option for India but the country is yet to make any significant efforts in realizing the potential of the off shore wind power project.Several suggestion have been sent to Government of India on this . Algae biofuel Another project of great promise is algae biofuel. Enormous efforts and investment have been put forth in developed countries to develop algae biofuel and other appropriate algae based products like ethanol and methane gas for power generation. Though repeated suggestions have been submitted to Government of India to put dedicated efforts for developing algae biofuel projects, nothing worthwhile have been done in the country so far in India. It is particularly surprising to see that the massive efforts put forth in algae biofuel sector in developed countries have not impressed Government of India so far. Under the circumstances, it appears Prime Minister’s target of reducing the oil and gas import by 2022 is only wishful thinking, which may not be supported by the ground realities.

NTPC’S SOLAR POWER PROJECT FACING UNCERTAINTY Reluctance on part of states to buy expensive solar power has put a question mark on the feasibility of National Thermal Power Corporation’s (NTPC) plans to install the targeted 15,000 megawatt of solar power in the next five years.

In executing this project, NTPC is faced with a two pronged problem. One, that there is no availability of unallocated thermal power and two, that even after bundling, the high cost of solar energy remains unattractive for buyers, mainly state governments Little wonder then that the loss laden power distribution companies of Rajasthan, which are poised to overtake Gujarat this year as the largest producer of solar energy, do not buy more than their renewable purchase obligation (RPO) of 1% to 1.5% of total power consumption. State power distribution companies in the country have cumulative losses of Rs 3.5 lakh crore. Most of them are not meeting their renewable purchase obligation’s (RPO) because clean energy is expensive.

The Union Cabinet had given its nod to NTPC to set up solar capacity of this magnitude in three tranches. The first tranche of 3,000 MW is to be set up under a mechanism of 'bundling' two units of solar with one unit of unallocated thermal power, so as to bring costs down.


DOES INDIAN R&D NEED SHOCK TREATMENT ? It has been realized quiet some time back that Indian R&D segment is a weak link in the Indian chemical and petrochemical industries. While concern have been expressed about the failure of many indigenous R&D efforts, adequate sense of dynamism is yet to be injected in the Indian R&D sector. Most of the investment in research and development activity in India have been carried out by the Government of India under Council of Scientific Industrial Research. The role of private sector in R&D field in India is conspicuous by lack of significant presence.

Dr. CNR Rao’s scathing criticism Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that renowned and senior scientist Dr. CNR Rao has made scathing criticism about the Indian R&D sector. Dr. CNR. Rao said that the quality of science in India is "lousy", adding that if the country would want to have a future, it should improve on quality. Dr.CNR Rao, a recipient of Bharat Ratna, also rued the lack of investment in Indian R&D sector. He said that India does not have "a single institution" that can match the best abroad, even as he cited the example of China to call for more investment in science. Dr. CNR Rao said “If India has to have a future, it has to improve in quality. The main thing in India is that everything from the corporate (sector) and education to science needs to have quality. Prime Minister says development with quality improvement because with the lousy quality we have, it is difficult to have development”. Defence research lab in civil construction activity Sending a clear message to India's premier defence research agency Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to focus on its core functions, Defence Minister Mr.Manohar Parrikar has instructed that the organisation would no longer undertake civil and maintenance works of other departments, including entities like the Brahmos Missile Company and the Strategic Forces Command besides the three armed forces. It is a lesser known facet of the organisation but DRDO has a works department that executes construction projects from office buildings to missile storage units, launching areas and accommodation worth over Rs 5,000 crore every year.

While delivering a lecture 'Celebration of Science' at Jamia Milia Islamia in New Delhi, Dr.CNR Rao, a renowned scientist and Bharat Ratna awardee, said that it is difficult to bring development in the country with the "lousy" quality of science in India.

As a matter of fact, most of the chemical industries in small and medium scale sector have no role in R&D sector, worth it’s name. Even large scale units, which claim having R&D activity are really more focused on quality optimization efforts and cost reduction proramme in the existing operation and not in product development or R&D activity with long term targets and strategies.


DOES INDIAN R&D NEED SHOCK TREATMENT ? The Defence Minister’s orders specify that current commitments should be met, but from now on, requests to carry out civil construction works even from other defence ministry departments should not be entertained.

Does R&D need shock treatment ? When the Government of India provide the institutions several crores of rupees as funds and grants year after year to carry out R&D work, their performance and targets should be assessed with much more care, so that the R&D institutions do not view such grants like “donations” and they should realize that they are accountable for the grants that they receive. Such a new approach from government may come as shock to the R&D bodies but it would do a lot of good to the future of Indian R&D activities, It is very important that the Government of India should look into functioning style of research institutions in India, both in private and public sector and direct them to have appropriate target for research in tune with the country’s needs. Their performance should be evaluated as profit centres.

CSIR Labs now running educational institutions Several CSIR laboratories such as Central Electrochemical Research Institute, Karaikudi are now running under graduate and post graduate courses, just like any other educational institutions. Obviously, when the CSIR laboratories that should remain focused on high ended research, would offer UG and PG courses, R&D activities in such institutions inevitably get diluted.

REPORT ON “CRUDE OIL PRICE FALL - WILL INDIA’S EUPHORIA CONTINUE “?

Nandini Consultancy Centre, a firm of chemical engineers and chemical business consultants based at Chennai and Singapore, has released well researched report on “Crude oil price fall - Will India’s euphoria continue ? “ Focus of the report Global crude oil price fall in recent months has surprised even the discerning observers. Now, there is world wide debate as to what has caused the crude price fall and whether the price fall would persist and how long. This research report recommends that India should use this opportunity to work out it’s short term and long term strategies for crude oil sourcing and pricing. A few appropriate strategies have been suggested:

SHOULD GOVERNMENT INVEST IN

REVIVING CLOSED PUBLIC SECTOR UNITS ?

It is reported that the Government of India would revive Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (IDPL), a public sector undertaking. Government would invest around Rs.900 crore for IDPL units at Rishikesh, Gurgaon and Hyderabad. Of this, more than Rs.450 crore would go towards reviving the operations in IDPL, Hyderabad.

When the petrochemical / chemical plants remain un operated for several years, the conditions of the equipment would inevitably deteriorate to such an extent, that in many cases they cannot be used any more at all. Substantial segment of them will have to be scrapped and replaced.

Further, in pharmaceuticals field, technologies are rapidly undergoing changes and improvement and new processes are being developed. Even the existing operating units have to be continuously modernized, to remain competitive in the market, from the point of product specification, quality parameters and cost factors.

In all probability, the process adopted several years back by IDPL, Hyderabad unit would have become obsolete now. The design, specification of the equipment presently in operation in industries could be largely different from what was installed in the unit more than 15 years back.

It is not uncommon to find that even economic viability parameters of the older units would have altered over the years due to subsequent changes in economic and market climate. The technological competitiveness of such old units, which remain closed for length of time, in comparison with the present operating units in the world would be poor. Large pharmaceutical projects cannot be any more operated without banking considerably on export, which mean that the competitive capability in the global market is pre requisite for the success of the units.

Except for the land and perhaps part of the building infrastructure, it is likely that the investment in IDPL to be made by government for reviving the unit would be as high as installing new project, particularly since considerable technology inputs and collaboration would be called for.

The pragmatic approach in the case of units such as IDPL would be to close the units permanently and sell the assets including land, building and equipment by auction in the market to enable setting up of other appropriate project.

Spending scarce government resources in reviving such sick units could be too risky to be justified, unless backed by very extensive study on all related aspects.

Chemical Industries Associatiion, an apex body representing the cross section of chemical and allied industries based in Chennai, has submitted a letter to Prime Minister and Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers, about Government of India’s move to revive IDPL, Hyderabad unit, which has been remaining closed for the last several years.

Text of the letter is given in this article.

While we are not for entertaining closing of units and keeping large investments in projects lying idle, we are surely not for additional investments in defunct units with very little chance of succeeding due to multiple factors including technology obsolescence, market realities etc. From this perspective, we wonder whether it would be appropriate for the Government of India to invest such a large sum for reviving the Hyderabad unit of IDPL, which has been remaining closed for more than 15 years now.


MISGIVINGS ON MODI GOVERNMENT’S

LAND ACQUISITION BILL JUSTIFIED

It is reported that in the last few decades, around 2% of agricultural land in the country have already been lost to industrial , housing and other projects, leaving thousands of agricultural labourers in difficult economic conditions, needing freebies from government to survive.

After much protest and realizing the mood of the country, the government has made modifications to the land acquisition bill, conferring on state governments adequate power to decide on grant of exemption for certain kinds of land acquisition from the provisions relating to social impact assessment and food security. Moreover, it limited the acquisition of land for industrial corridors to within one km on either side of designated railway line or road and limited the extent of acquisition to minimum requirement. Other provisions include compensation by way of government job for at least one member of the affected families. Further, the provision granting exemption for private educational institutions and hospitals have been dropped.

There is the fundamental question as to whether taking away the agricultural land for setting up industry or housing projects is appropriate in a country like India, which is essentially an agriculture oriented economy and particularly when agriculture operations provide jobs to millions of people at unskilled and semi skilled level in the densely populated country. More than 75% of country’s population constitute peasants and tribals, who have only traditional skill in agricultural operations.

Modi government’s stand : Modi government appears to think that industrial activity is as important as agricultural activity and converting some agricultural land for industrial projects is inevitable , if the country were to sustain economic growth to the desired level. Government further argues that it has put several safeguards to ensure that land acquisition would be for appropriate projects only and will not result in undue benefit for corporate houses.

Modi government’s determined move to enact the Land Acquisition Bill has caused considerable misgivings in the country, for which there appear to be justifiable reasons


MISGIVINGS ON MODI GOVERNMENT’S LAND ACQUISITION BI LL JUSTIFIED

There are thousands of acres of industrial land presently occupied by many industries, where only a portion of the land is utilized and other land remains unused. There are many sick projects which has been remaining closed with hundreds of acres of land that are not presently put to any use. There are many educational institutions with hundreds of acres of land , where only a few acres are utilized. There are also land where the site is not suitable for agricultural operations. The government is not known to have enumerated such unutilized land available in the country. The government cannot say today that the country does not have such unutilized and wasted land. The ground reality is that the promoters of many industrial projects ask for and get much more land than what they need , only considering the appreciation of the land value in course of time. Modi government has not given any indication that it is aware of such issues and it has not announced any policy as to how much of land should be allotted for particular industrial project. Amongst the existing industries and in special economic zones , the government should conduct a land auditing to identify the unused land and force the industries to give up such land for setting up new projects. This is possible. The genuine question is why agricultural land should be taken away without putting the unutilized and wasted land for use for setting up industrial projects. Investment in agriculture can be as productive as in industry : Should the interest of agriculture be sacrificed for the sake of industrial growth is a very valid question. People cannot live without food but they can live without cosmetics and automobiles.

What about wasted and unutilized land ?: The question is whether Modi government has exhausted all the options for identifying the available unutilized land for industrial and development projects , that can avoid taking away the land from agricultural operations. One gets the impression that the government has not done this exercise adequately so far.

Industrial growth should be complimentary to the agricultural growth and it cannot be allowed to become a substitute for agricultural growth even to a limited extent. Such move is bad in principle and contrary to the sentiments of large section of the country men. Above all, the potentials for exploiting agricultural operations for India’s economic growth with equanimity is no less than what industrial operations can achieve for the country.


18,024 HECTARES OF ALLOTTED INDUSTRIAL LAND LYING UNUSED ACROSS 20 STATES

Around 18,024 hectares of land is lying unused in SEZs across 20 states with Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu topping with a total of 10,714 hectares, according to Union Finance ministry data.

While most of these land parcels were allocated to SEZs by the respective state governments for setting up various types of industries, some were purchased on their own by private promoters. The 20 states have so far allocated 45,783 hectares to SEZs. Gujarat has 4,795 hectares lying unused, followed by Maharashtra (3,124 hectares and Tamil Nadu (2,795 hectares). Union government had given formal approvals to start 436 SEZs across the country. Of them, 347 were notified but only 199 are operational as of now.The respective state governments had acquired land for SEZs from villagers and there were many farmers protests against such acquisition in the past.


SOLAR IRRIGATION PUMPS – A GREAT OPPORTUNITY National Solar Mission’s goal to install 100 gigawatt of solar capacity by 2022, can be met by 10 million farmers, each operating a 10 kilowatt solar pump. A solar pump can generate 13,000 units of power per year worth Rs.65,000. 10 million solar farmers can generate 130 billion units of solar power and have substantial earnings. If put under solar PV arrays, one hectare of land can generate much more income for the farmers from solar power compared to income from field crops alone. This revenue is free of risk from droughts, floods, pests and diseases. All it needs is land.

Power distribution companies need to be incentivised to buy surplus solar power from small, dispersed farmer generators . To reduce transaction cost of dealing with small, dispersed suppliers, solar pump irrigation in every village should be organised as a cooperative to pool and evacuate surplus power collectively at a single point, that the power distribution company can measure and monitor. Under a credible power purchase guarantee and organised into a cooperative, solar pumps are eminently bankable and a menu of subsidy loan products can be offered for farmers to choose from, while switching from grid to solar pumps. Courtesy: Shah, Senior Fellow & Durga and Verma, Consultants with International Water Management Institute, Colombo - Financial Express 1st April, 2015

Generating solar power for pumping water for irrigation could have massive collateral benefits. It can revitalise nearly stagnant agriculture in several regions, which has adequate groundwater but short on energy to run pumps. 9 million diesel pumps burn some 7 billion litres of diesel for irrigation and emit additional 20 million metric tonne of CO2.By using solar power for groundwater, India can curtail annual CO2 emissions by nearly 6%. Farmers can be provided solar irrigation pumps with a power purchase guarantee,similar to what the large solar power generators get. Karnataka’s Surya Raitha scheme is already piloting this idea.

Solar pumps offer a smart way out of the deadweight of power subsidies. A quarter of India’s power is sent to dispersed farms causing massive technical and commercial losses. Every solar pump replacing a grid-connected pump saves the utility over 13,000 units of grid power at generating stations, saving subsidies and freeing up grid capacity for the non-farm sector. In theory, the country can save Rs.60,000 crore per year in subsidies by going solar for all 11 million electric pumps.

A credible power purchase guarantee would make it attractive to sell solar power to the grid than to use it to pump groundwater. Surrendering grid connection may be made a pre condition to power-purchase guarantee.


ANOMALY IN GOVERNMENT’S FERTILISER POLICY Excessive use of urea According to the Economic Survey 2013-14, “For each unit of K, 8.2 units of N are being put into the soil, instead of the 4 units required. The incremental output from the excessive 4.2 units of N is zero or somewhat negative. This use of urea, beyond what is required, works out to roughly 50 lakh metric tonne. Farmers and government are wastefully spending Rs. 8,540 crore on this. These costs are ultimately paid by the consumers as higher food prices and higher taxes, in return for a zero or negative impact upon agricultural output.”

Under the NBS policy, subsidy is fixed and manufacturers have the freedom to fix MRP within “reasonable limits”. Due to a cap on subsidy and the rising international market prices, MRP has gone up significantly in the last five years. The low price of urea and high prices of other fertilisers has led farmers to overuse urea. There is a serious imbalance in the use of fertilisers, leading to a decline in the response of yield to fertiliser use. This has been adversely affecting agricultural productivity. The NPK ratio, which is a measure of balanced fertilisation, is highly adverse. At a macro level, the desirable NPK ratio is 4:2:1. When the policy framework was almost the same for urea and other fertilisers, NPK ratio at the national level was 4:3:2:1, quite close to the desirable level. In 2013-14, it deteriorated to 8:2.7:1 and in Punjab and Haryana it was as bad as 38:6:1 and 53:11:1 respectively. The report of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) recommends that subsidy on urea be reduced, while enhancing it on P&K to arrest the hugely adverse NPK ratio: “Fertiliser subsidy, which has increased by more than five times during the last ten years, must be restructured and rationalised. Since the adoption of NBS, the retail prices of P&K fertilisers have risen, while the price of urea (N) has remained fixed. The differential between the prices of urea and P&K fertilisers has widened leading to excess use of N at the expense of P&K fertilisers. The price of urea needs to be increased by at least 15 per cent and the subsidy enhanced on P&K fertilisers to reduce their effective MRPs keeping the fertiliser subsidy constant.” Urea centric policies Urea centric policies are perpetuating imbalance in the use of fertilisers. The ministry of petroleum and natural gas is proposing to re prioritise the allocation of domestic gas; priority for NP/NPK has been relegated to last position, whereas urea has been pushed up to fourth place. This means urea subsidy will go up.

Adverse NPK ratio Price of urea has been low for several years. Other fertilisers such as NP/NPK (phosphorus and potassium) have been under indirect control through the nutrient based subsidy (NBS) policy since April 2010.

There has been a serious anomaly in the policy framework of Government of India for fertiliser for the last five years. The anomaly is that urea is under direct control. Its MRP is fixed by the government and subsidy is variable.


ANOMALY IN GOVERNMENT’S FERTILISER POLICY Imbalance in subsidy rationalisation There is an imbalance in subsidy rationalisation. Urea has been subsidised to the extent of 75 percent, whereas 25 per cent is realised from the market. The subsidy on phosphatic fertilisers, namely di ammonium phosphate (DAP) and muriate of potash (MOP) is 35 per cent and 41 percent respectively, against over 80 per cent before the introduction of NBS.

GOVT AIMS TO SAVE RS 7,000 CR OF UREA SUBSIDY IN 4 YEARS The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs decided to supply natural gas at a uniform price to all fertiliser plants on the gas grid through a pooling mechanism. This means the cost of production of urea at pooled price would be similar for all plants and less than the price of imported urea. Currently, the production cost for every tonne of urea varies between Rs.14,000 and Rs.20,000. This is because of different gas procurement sources. On the other hand, each tonne of imported urea costs about Rs.19,000. The government’s subsidy bill for urea has increased from Rs.33,924 crore in FY12 to Rs.35,398 crore in FY13 and further to Rs.38,545 crore in FY14. The supply of gas to urea units through the pooling mechanism is estimated to increase output of the fertiliser by about 3.71 million metric tonne in the next four years. Currently, India consumes about 30.5 million metric tonne of urea a year. Of this, 22.5 million metric tonne is indigenously produced, while about 8 million metric tonne is procured from overseas. At present, there are 30 urea producing units in the country, out of which 27 units are gas based and three units including Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers (MCFL), Madras Fertilizers (MFL) and Southern Petrochemicals Industries (SPIC) based on naphtha. India imports about 2 million metric tonne of urea every year from Oman under the Urea Off Take Agreement (UOTA) which will continue up to 2020. Urea demand in the country is pegged to touch 34 million metric tonne a year by 2017-18. This would further go up to 38 million metric tonne a year by 2024-25. In addition, the gas pooling mechanism is expected to revive idle plants at Gorakhpur, Barauni and Sindri. These three urea plants will serve as the anchor load customers for the Jagdishpur Haldia pipeline, which the government has recently revived. The pipeline was conceived in 2007 by GAIL (India), but no work was done in absence of anchor customers in its route. India’s urea consumption:

30.5 million metric tonne

Domestic production:

ENERGY FROM RIVERS PROPOSED PLANS IN BRITAIN

Water source pumps date back to the 19th century and are popular in Scandinavia, where they are mainly used to heat individual homes. However, they are far less common in the UK and have been rarely used for the kind of larger scale community projects the Government hopes will become common, alongside those used by individual houses.

Water source heat pumps will help contribute to an energy mix that maximises clean, reliable home grown resources rather than relying on fossil fuels. It also provides a system that bolsters growth in local economies, protects the natural environment. A new drive has been indicated to promote water source heat pumps carbon free devices that extract thermal energy from waterways to heat water for radiators and showers. Installing a water source heat pump reduces the need for gas fired domestic heating and could allow the average household to reduce its carbon footprint by as much as 50 per cent. The energy produced is both clean and renewable and households could knock as much as 20 per cent off their heating bills. The pumps work through a system of pipes that are typically run around 2m below the surface of water in rivers and canals, where the temperature is about 8 deg C to 10 deg C. More than 4,041 rivers, estuaries, coastal sites and canals containing water warm and accessible enough to heat homes have been indicated. More than one million homes are close enough to water to make use of the devices – with hotspots including buildings around the River Ouse in Selby, the River Trent in Nottingham and the Thames in London.

According to the plans of British government, more than one million homes across Britain could be heated using green Scandinavian-style technology that takes heat from nearby rivers and canals and pumps it into the home.


PLANT CLOSURE

The changes are expected to result in annualized cost savings of at least $18 million and incur one off costs of up to €30 million.

MAWANA SUGARS SHUTS ALL UP UNITS

The State government wants sugar mills to pay Rs 280 per quintal to sugarcane farmers as against Rs 220 per quintal fixed by the Central government. Mill owners feel the slump in demand of sugar and lower retail prices do not justify payment of State Advisory Price ( SAP).

Nufarm plant closure Nufarm (Melbourne) will close its plant at Botlek in the port of Rotterdam and cut costs and raise capacity at the company’s facilities at Wyke, UK; and Gaillon, France. The moves follow a detailed review of the company’s European manufacturing footprint. The measures will be implemented over 18 months and will reduce the company’s fixed cost base, improve working capital management, and support growth of the European business, Nufarm says.

Mawana Sugars closed down all its sugar mills in Uttar Pradesh, alleging that "coercion and harassment" by the state authorities has made running operations "impossible". The company has three sugar mills at Mawana, Nanglamal and Titawi besides distillery at Nanglamal in the state. "Due to regular persecution and prosecution of senior officers of the company by the State Authorities by way of FIRs causing coercion, harassment, humiliation and insult for no fault on their part, it has become impossible to run sugar operations in the state," the company said.


ANTI DUMPING PAGE Saturated fatty alcohols The Finance Ministry of Government of India has imposed safeguard duty on certain saturated fatty alcohols to provide relief to domestic producers against surge in imports. The safeguard duty will be valid for two and a half years and would be effective from the date of levy of provisional anti dumping duty. It may be recalled that the revenue department had last year levied provisional safeguard duty on saturated fatty alcohol imports for six months with effect from August 28,2014. Mumbai based VVF (India) Ltd had filed the petition seeking safeguard duty on certain saturated fatty alcohol imports, supported by Godrej Industries.

***** Pyridine The Ministry of Commerce of Government of China announced on February 11 to conduct a midterm review of the dumping and dumping margin of the anti dumping measures applicable to imports of pyridine originated from Indian Jubilant Life Science Ltd, since February 11,2015. China started imposing anti dumping duties on imports of pyridine originated in Indian and Japan since November 21, 2013. On December 12.2014, Anhui Guoxing Biochemical Co., Ltd., Nanjing Red Sun Biochemistry Co.,Ltd, Weifang Lvba Chemical Co., Ltd and Vertellus Speciality Chemicals (Nantong) Co.,Ltd. submitted an application to the Ministry of Commerce, claiming that, the dumping margin of exports of pyridine by Jubilant Life Science Limited to China was increased upon the final ruling, excessively beyond the anti dumping duty rate determined in the final ruling and requesting a mid term review on the dumping and dumping margin of the imports of pyridine originated in Jubilant.

***** Stainless steel products The Directorate General of Safeguards (Customs & Central Excise), Government of India has rejected a plea for imposing safeguard duty on imported stainless steel products. In November 2014, Jindal Stainless Ltd (JSL) made a plea for imposing safeguard duty on import of cold rolled flat product of stainless steel of chromium type, 400 Series to "protect the domestic producers against serious injury caused by the increased imports". However, Directorate General of Safeguards (DGS) has said: "The applicant industry has presented no credible evidence to make out a case of serious injury. Furthermore, it has withheld crucial injury information on a number of factors, apart from the fact that the facts presented in the application itself do not make out a case of serious injury." The DSG order dated March 23 said that "injury" to JSL is not because of increase in imports but several internal factors like new plant set up in Odisha leading to high startup costs and excess capacity leading to extra inventory and sales at lower price. It further said that "India has already imposed anti dumping duty on import of Cold Rolled Flat Products of Stainless Steel 400 series from Korea RP, Thailand, China PR, EU, USA, South Africa and Taiwan”.


BIO BASED PRODUCTS RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

REFRIGERANT OPTIONS FOR INDIA Regulations on HCFC According to Montreal Protocol developed countries are bound to phase out ozone depleting substances earlier than the developing nations (the ‘Article 5’ countries). As an ‘Article 5’ country (since India is a signatory of the Montreal Protocol), , India needs to cut down on HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbons ) use starting January 1, 2015, as these gases affect the ozone layer. Option of using HFC Nearly 35 per cent of India’s air conditioner units are imported, completely assembled and charged with refrigerant HCFC. However, after July 1, 2015, according to the guidelines, these units will have to be brought into the country without refrigerant charge. After July 2015, India will use gases like HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) which are not ozone depleting and which the developed world (such as Europe, the US, Canada and others) has already transitioned to. However, there is another question that is being discussed— HFC phase down. The HFC group of refrigerants do not deplete the ozone layer but still have high global warming potential; When leaked into the atmosphere, they support climate change. If not restricted in its usage, HFC is expected to have a significant impact in the long run. Countries within the European Union have already agreed to reduce their usage of HFC gases through a separate regulation applicable to EU countries. US companies have agreed to a voluntary phase down and are working with other countries for inclusion of a similar agreement under the Montreal Protocol. These legislative and voluntary actions are agreed on substituting, while substitution technologies are often not fully developed yet. .However, given the varied views on such a proposal, the member countries are unable to reach a consensus. India has consistently requested the manufacturers of refrigerants to indicate the options available, as most of the options for air conditioning are HFC (fluorinated gases) with varying degrees of global warming potential (GWP) and toxicity / flammability.

HVAC-R (heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration) industry has to look at the options from current refrigerants and find a solution to mitigate the risk of falling short of refrigerant in the future. From the current options available, it is clear that there is no one refrigerant that suits all the applications where it is to be used. It is imperative for India to adopt energy efficient refrigerants that will cause minimum damage to the environment. Although refrigeration penetration in India is minimal, it is important to take pre emptive measures. Source: Business Line


REFRIGERANT OPTIONS FOR INDIA Need for India to balance the critical factors India and other developing nations are in the process of transitioning to HFC, even as it is realised that these gases harm the environment. This is not an easy situation for India and industry. It is important to note the critical parameters, that is GWP and flammability along with a third parameter, affordability. Balancing these three is critical for the industry to adopt any new refrigerant. For instance, hydrocarbons are ideal as they have low GWP and zero ODP (ozone depletion potential). However, they are toxic in nature and flammable and hence safety becomes an issue.

Some applications such as industrial and commercial refrigeration have had success with natural refrigerants, where toxicity, flammability and premature technology cost need to be addressed. The safety factor with regard to natural refrigerants should be explored to mitigate risk and make it conducive for large scale consumption. For this, the entire refrigerant ecosystem equipment manufacturers, the government and component manufacturers must find a balance between profitability and impact on the environment. Given the current scenario in which the HVAC-R industry is dependent on technologies from abroad, it is necessary to choose options with a long term view as newer technologies and refrigerants emerge.

Options for India In the air conditioning space, some manufacturers have been successful with hydrocarbons for low tonnage. For larger capacities and commercial air-conditioning, the options available currently are HFCs or mildly flammable hydrocarbons. Indian refrigeration industry has seen success with hydrocarbons as the charge quantities are less. Commercial refrigeration has had success with CO2 as refrigerant, although this does not seem to have been fully exploited yet.

Application 2-PH is predominantly used as raw material for the production of esters which are mainly used as plasticizer, which transforms PVC, a naturally brittle plastic, into a flexible material. Plasticized PVC based on 2-PH is used for applications such as cable insulation, tarpaulin fabrics, elastic floor coverings and in various automobile parts. 2-PH is used in household and industrial detergents, coatings and adhesives. Due to its limited miscibility with water, 2-PH can be used as a special solvent, with potential application in life sciences. A promising application of these alcohols would be as precursors to acrylate monomers, potentially conferring enhanced flexibility.

2-propylheptanol (2-PH) is a branched C10 fatty alcohol. Propylheptanol is a mixture of isomeric decyl alcohols: 2-propylheptanol, 4-methyl-2-propylhexanol and 5-methyl-2-propylhexanol. The “high-molecular-weight” plasticizers, which are based on C9 or C10 alcohols such as 2-PH with its ten carbon atoms have been declared risk-free in tests conducted by the European Union.


2-PROPYLHEPTANOL - INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Process 2-PH is "oxo alcohol". It is produced from the hydroformylation ("oxo synthesis") of C4 alkenes followed by hydrogenation of the resulting aldehyde. 2-PH is produced using the oxo reaction. An alkene is transformed using a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen as well as a catalyst system, which is made of a metal and a ligand. Evonik has developed the ligand OxoPhos 64i which makes the process more efficient and enables longer plant operation and less maintenance. BASF has been producing 2-PH from butadiene in Germany since 2002 and in the US since 2006,. Davy Process Technology, a Johnson Matthey subsidiary, and Dow Chemical’s oxygenated solvents business say that Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yanan Energy and Chemical (Yanan, China), has selected LP Oxo technology using Dow’s proprietary Normax catalyst to co produce 2-PH, normal butanol and iso butanol in a single integrated plant at Fu County, Shaanxi Province, China. Important global producers Evonik, Germany Evonik Industries AG, Essen, expanded its product range for high molecular weight plasticizer alcohols and commissioned a plant for the production of the plasticizer alcohol 2-propylheptanol at the Marl Chemical Park in Germany. The company’s plant, is the largest producer of C9/ C10 alcohols in Europe. The plant has an annual capacity of 60,000 metric tonne. The plant added the product 2-PH to Evonik’s range. 2-PH complements another product, oxo alcohol, isononanol (INA) and expand the company’s applications. Evonik processes about 15 million metric tonne of crude C4 annually at the Marl facility to produce C4 olefins and C4 derivatives, such as methyl tertiary butyl ether, butane-1, isobutene and isononanol Evonik’s production capacity is about 80% of the crack C4 available on the European market. The company already has a capacity of 340,000 metric tonne of C9 INA at its Marl plant, which is the biggest INA plant in the world. Perstorp’s Oxo investment in Sweden

Key raw materials for Perstorp’s general purpose PVC plasticizers namely valeraldehyde and 2-PH and associated chemicals are produced at Perstorp’s main plant in Stenugsund, Sweden. The plant has been recently commissioned. BASF: BASF produces 2-PH at its plants in Ludwigshafen,Germany and Passadena, Texas, USA and in China.



BASF produces 2-PH), a product it developed and introduced primarily for plasticizer applications, but which is also used to produce ethoxylates/propoxylates for surfactant applications. BASF has produced 2-PH at a 100,000 metric tonne per year plant in Europe since 2002. In 2006, the company converted a 2-ethylhexanol plant in Pasadena, TX, USA to the production of 120,000 metric tonne per year of 2-PH. BASF continued to expand its global capacity for 2-PH, bringing on stream a 80,000 metric tonne per year plant in China in 2011.

BASF-YPC,China BASF-YPC developed an integrated C4 complex, involving a 130,000 metric tonne per year butadiene extraction plant, 80,000 metric tonne per year 2-PH unit, a 60,000 metric tonne per year isobutene extraction plant, and a plant producing 50,000 metric tonne per year of highly reactive polyisobutene. New detergent surfactant from BASF BASF launched its detergent surfactant Lutensol® M .Because of its eco friendly properties, Lutensol M is not subject to environmental classification. The surfactant is produced in Antwerp, Belgium and in Ludwigshafen, Germany. Lutensol® M is an ethoxylate based on the branched alcohol 2-PH and produced by a new process developed by BASF. The Lutensol M range is neither subject to environmental classification nor classified as dangerous goods under the transport regulations. Lutensol M has proved successful in both liquid and powder detergents. Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yanan Energy and Chemical (Yanan, China), Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum Yanan Energy and Chemical will build a LP Oxo plant, as part of Yanchang Petroluem Yanan Coal Gas Oil Resources Integration Complex, with a capacity of 80,000 metric tonne per year of 2-PH, 206,000 metric tonne per year of normal butanol and 7,000 metric tonne per year of iso butanol. Demand drivers for 2 - PH Following increasing technical and environmental requirements for plasticized PVC applications, the “high molecular weight” plasticizers, which are based on C9 or C10 alcohols such as 2-PH with its ten carbon atoms, are in particularly high demand. These plasticizers are remarkable for their excellent low temperature properties and low volatility, and are extremely versatile.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY 2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID

Molecular formula: C8H16O2 Appearance Colourless liquid CAS No. 149-57-5 Alternative name 2-Ethylcaproic acid

3-Heptanecarboxylic acid Specification Purity, as water free Min. 99.5% Water, wt Max. 0.10% Colour, Hazen Max. 10 Acid Value, mg KOH per g 382-395 Stability: Stable under normal temperature and pressure.

Incompatibilities with other materials: Strong oxidizing agents, reducing agents, strong bases.

Storage The product should be separated from strong oxidants. It should be stored in an area without drain or sewer access. Applications 2-Ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) acts as a stabilizer and protectant. It is often combined with other compounds for practical applications Stabilizer of plastic 2-EHA metal salts are topically used as stabilizers in plastic making. 2-EHA is especially used in PVC, which on its own has a low heat resistance. Adding 2-EHA metal salts to PVC raises its resistance at higher temperature. 2-EHA also works as a thermal and colour stabilizer in alkyd resin plastics. 2-EHA is usually combined with barium, cadmium, tin or strontium for this purpose. Drying agent 2-EHA is used as a drying agent in paints, enamels, varnishes and printing inks. 2-EHA is combined with metals to produce metal salts and these metallic compounds are then added to liquids to act as siccatives (drying agents). Most of the siccatives are metal salts of the 2-EHA (metal soaps, the ethylexanoates or octoates) andare applied as drying agents (siccatives), which have long been used in surface coating compositions.

The siccative works when 2-EHA draws in oxygen from the air and the metal acts as a catalyst to speed this process. Cobalt and manganese are most often used with 2-EHA to make siccatives. Potassium, iron, lead, zinc, zirconium, copper, molybdenum, chromium and nickel are also used in combination with 2-EHA as siccatives.


2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID - INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY Emollient in cosmetics 2-EHA is used as an emollient in cosmetics because of its high hydrolytic stability (the chemical compounds do not degrade easily in water). An ester of 2-EHA — cetearyl ethylhexanoate — is the most common form of 2-EHA used in cosmetics. This compound is a combination of 2-EHA and cetearyl alcohol. Cetearyl ethylhexanoate is used as a moisturizer on skin and as conditioning agent for hair products. It also works as a water repellent for products such as mascara and Sun Protection Factor (SPF) lotions. Cetearyl ethylhexanoate makes products more “spreadable” and may be found in items that claim the product “goes on smooth.” Wood preservative The sodium salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid combined with other fungicides is used to protect cut wood. These protective coatings are used to guard wood and other cellulose based materials against sap stain and mold fungi. The wood is dipped in, coated or brushed with a solution of 2-EHA, fungicides and water. Corrosion inhibitor 2-EHA is one of the common components to Organic Acid Technology (OAT) coolants, which is a corrosion inhibitor, used instead of silicates. Process: Butanol is converted into n-butyraldehyde, which on further aldol condensation and oxidation gives 2-EHA. Mid stream fraction obtained from 2-ethyl hexanol contains mixed fractions, These fractions can be further processed to get 2-EHA. Important global producers Oxea GmbH European Oxo GmbH was acquired by Oxea GmbH. Oxea is a manufacturer of oxo intermediates and oxo derivatives such as alcohols, polyols, carboxylic

acids, specialty esters and amines. The product range of Oxea includes 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid, 2-Ethylhexaldehyde, 2-Ethyl Hexanol, 2-Ethylhexylamine, Heptaldehyde, Heptanoic Acid etc.

Elekeiroz (São Paulo, Brazil) Elekeiroz acquired an oxo gas plant from Air Products at Camaçari, Brazil. The plant adjoins Elekeiroz’s Camaçari facility, where the feedstock is used to make butanol, octanol, and 2-ethylhexanoic acid.


2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID - INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY Elekeiroz currently has a 40,000 metric tonne per year n-butanol plant there, as well as 84,000 metric tonne of capacity per year for the production of 2-ethylhexanol. The company produces 2-EHA with capacity of 10,000 metric tonne per annum Perstorp, Sweden /Singapore Perstrop is producing 2-EHA in its production facility in Stenungsund, Sweden Perstorp has established production facility in Singapore of capacity 40,000 metric tonne per year of 2-EHA.. KH Neochem Co., Ltd., Japan KH Neochem Co., Ltd., Japan has increased production capacity of its 2-EHA.

NEWS ROUND UP - INTERNATIONAL Propylene oxide styrene monomer – Shell’s project at Moerdijk site Royal Dutch Shell has made a final investment decision to rebuild the Ellba propylene oxide–styrene monomer (POSM) plant at Shell Chemicals’ Moerdijk, Netherlands, site, which was badly damaged by an explosion in June 2014. Shell announced in September 2014 that it intended to rebuild the Ellba POSM unit, which is owned 50-50 by Shell and BASF. It is expected that the unit will restart within the time range December 2015 and March 2016. Ellba POSM plant has capacity for 550,000 metric tonne per year of styrene and 250,000 metric tonne per year of propylene oxide. Shell has also announced that it restarted in February the aromatics unit at Moerdijk, which, like most of the complex, has been offstream since a separate incident in early October 2014. The aromatics restart was enabled by the recommissioning of a smaller, medium pressure steam boiler. Shell has capacity for 500,000 metric tonne per year of benzene at Moerdijk. Restarting the steam boiler has also improved the reliability of steam supplies to Shell’s wholly owned POSM plant at Moerdijk and to the site’s ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol plants, which restarted in December 2014. Shell says that it is making “good progress” on repair work to the Moerdijk complex’s steam system that was damaged in the October 2014 incident. The company expects the complex’s 900,000 metric tonne per year steam cracker to restart toward the end of the third quarter.

BASF and Yara say they will use hydrogen (H2) technology for the ammonia unit that significantly reduces capital expenditures and maintenance costs. The plant will use auto H2 feedstock supplied from coproduct and pipeline sources that eliminates the need for an on purpose steam methane reformer (SMR) for H2 supply at the site. Praxair has signed a 20 year agreement to supply about 170 million standard cubic feet per day of H2 and 2,000 metric tonne per day of nitrogen to the ammonia plant. Praxair is investing more than $400.0 million to add H2 and nitrogen production capacity and extending its Gulf Coast pipeline systems about 46 miles from Texas City to the Freeport area. The pipeline extensions are scheduled to be in operation in 2016, and the supply to the complex is expected to start in late 2017. The ammonia plant will be owned 68% by Yara and 32% by BASF and the companies will offtake ammonia from the plant in accordance with their equity share. Yara will also build an ammonia tank at the BASF terminal, bringing Yara’s total investment in the project to $490.0 million. BASF will upgrade its current terminal and pipeline assets. KBR (Houston) has been awarded a fixed price, turnkey contract for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the project. Yara will manage the construction of the plant, while BASF will operate the plant and the export terminal.

***** Tokyo researchers develop aromatics catalyst University of Tokyo researchers have developed a novel, selective catalyst that allows for the creation of several basic chemicals, including benzene, toluene and xylene, according to a statement from the university. The catalyst, developed by Professor Kyoko Nozaki’s research group at the Graduate School of Engineering, enables selective cleaving of carbon-oxygen (C-O) single bonds in phenols and aryl methyl ethers, two of the main components of lignin. Producing benzene, toluene and xylene from lignin requires the selective hydrogenolysis of C-O bonds in phenols and aryl ethers, but their aromatic rings are also susceptible to hydrogenation. Using their new catalyst, the research group has accomplished selective C-O bond hydrogenolysis, without cleaving the aromatic rings for the first time ever.

***** Engineered yeast may spell end of hangovers Scientists have engineered a yeast that could greatly increase the health benefits of wine, while reducing the toxic byproducts that give a hangover. Fermented foods such as beer, wine and bread are made with polyploid strains of yeast, which means they contain multiple copies of genes in the genome, said Yong-Su Jin,a University of Illinois associate professor and principal investigator at the Energy Biosciences Institute. Until now, it has been very difficult to do genetic engineering in polyploid strains because if gene is altered in one copy of the genome, an unaltered copy would correct the one that had been changed. Recently, scientists have developed a 'genome knife' that cuts across multiple copies of a target gene very precisely until all copies are cut. Jin's group has used this enzyme to do precise metabolic engineering of strains that have been widely used in the wine, beer and fermentation industries.

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT World’s first hydrogen powered tramcar The world's first hydrogen powered tramcar has rolled off the assembly line in China's eastern Shandong Province.

Liang Jianying, chief engineer of Sifang Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of China South Rail Corporation, said that the new tram is the only hydrogen powered vehicle in the field and makes China the only country to have mastered the technology.

Hydrogen fuel cells are a new clean energy source, widely used in the automobile industry, but lagging behind in the field of rail transit. "It took two years for Sifang to solve key technological problems, with the help of research institutions," state run Xinhua news agency quoted Liang as saying without mentioning when the tram would be operational. The tram can be refilled with hydrogen in three minutes and can then run for 100 km at speeds as high as 70 kmph. No nitrogen oxides will be produced as the temperature of the reaction inside the fuel cell is controlled 100 degrees Celsius. Water will be the tram’s only emission. Each tram has over 60 seats and can carry 380 passengers.

***** Hydrogen generation process ONGC Energy Centre has received a US patent on hydrogen generation process. In a statement, the company said the ONGC Energy Centre Trust has been pursuing a programme to develop innovative methods to generate hydrogen by splitting water thermo chemically, using heat generated from solar or nuclear energy. Key reactors used in this process have been indigenously developed. The patent holds the potential to open up a new vista for generation of hydrogen from water on commercial scale, it said.

Capacity 8,300 10,570 17,220 17,220 17,770 20,820 Output 8,330 8,910 14,500 16,760 15,930 19,030 Import volume 920 1,550 1,520 1,760 2,150 2,640 Apparent consumption 9,250 10,460 15,760 18,440 18,080 21,670 Self sufficiency 90 85 92 91 88 88 Process routes Propylene industry in China features the co existence of traditional byproduct processes with steam cracking and catalytic cracking, as well as propane dehydrogenation process and coal chemical process. Coal to olefin units Coal to olefin sector in China has developed considerably in recent years and has brought about steady increase in propylene production. Projects include the following * Jingbian oil/ga/coal/salt comprehensive utilization project (the first phase coal to olefin capacity being 600 kilo metric tonne per annum ) of Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co. Ltd., * 680 kilo metric tonne per annum coal to olefin unit of Shaanxi Pucheng Clean Energy Chemical Co. Ltd.

The capacity of propylene in China was increased from 8.16 million metric tonne per annum in 2007 to 20.82 million metric tonne per annum in 2013, an increase of 1.5 fold. The average scale of propylene cracking units also increased to 269 kilo metric tonne per annum. Total capacity of propylene in China is expected to reach 24 to 26 million metric tonne per annum in 2015. China’s output of propylene will also jump from 19.02 million metric tonne in 2013 to 28 million metric tonne in 2015. The apparent consumption of propylene in China increased from 9.5 million metric tonne in 2007 to 21.6 million metric tonne in 2013, an increase of 1.29 fold. In the three major consumption sectors of propylene, the consumption proportion in China is 68% for making PP, 8% for making propylene oxide and 7% for making acrylonitrile. In China, is expected that the average annual growth of the propylene demand up to 2016 will be 4.4%, faster than the capacity growth.


CHINA NEWS Methanol to olefin units Methanol to olefin projects completed and put on stream in 2013 include the following * 200 kilo metric tonne per annum project of Sinopec Zhongyuan Ethylene C. Ltd., * 600 kilo metric tonne per annum project of Ningbo Heyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. The advantage of the process for the production of propylene from coal based methanol is that rich and low price coal resources can be used. Nevertheless, it has issues such as production of byproduct and high water consumption. * Propane dehydrogenation units China has plans to construct around 10 propane dehydrogenation (PDH) units with total capacity of 5.32 million metric tonne per annum. Propylene from naphtha Average scale of ethylene/propylene co production units using the naphtha route will reach more than 350 kilo metric tonne per annum . Propylene from ethylene cracking units Ethylene cracking units are still the major source of propylene. When naphtha is used as raw materials, the propylene output is 50-65% of the ethylene output. New ethylene capacity will be 2.30 million metric tonner per annum in Sinopec, 1.10 million metric tonne per annum in PetroChina and 1.50 million metric tonne per annum in other enterprises.

SOLAR POWER STATION IN SPACE China plans to build a huge solar power station 36,000 kilometres above the ground in an attempt to battle smog, cut greenhouse gases and solve energy crisis. If realised, it will surpass the scale of the Apollo project and the International Space Station, and be the largest-ever space project. The power station would be a super spacecraft on a geosynchronous orbit equipped with huge solar panels. The electricity generated would be converted to microwaves or lasers and transmitted to a collector on Earth, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Wang says the electricity generated from the ground-based solar plants fluctuates with night and day and the weather, but a space generator collects energy 99 per cent of the time. Space based solar panels can generate ten times as much electricity as ground based panels per unit area, says Duan Baoyan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Countries such as the US and Japan have studied space solar power station. Japan leads the development of wireless power transmission technology. However, many hurdles lie ahead: A commercially viable space power station would weigh 10,000 metric tonne. But few rockets can carry a payload of over 100 metric tonne to low Earth orbit. Li Ming, vice president of the China Academy of Space Technology, says, "China will build a space station in around 2020, which will open an opportunity to develop space solar power technology."

Wang Xiji (93), an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an International Academy of Astronautics member with over 50 years to space technology research, Wang age (93), is an advocate for the station: "An economically viable space power station would be really huge, with the total area of the solar panels reaching 5 to 6 sq km." That would be equivalent to 12 of Beijing's Tian'anmen Square, the largest public square in the world, or nearly two New York Central Parks. "Maybe people on Earth could see it in the sky at night, like a star," says Wang.


NEWS ROUND UP – INDIA

Revival plans of FCI Ramagundam The public hearing on the revival of Fertilizer Corporation of India (FCI) which has been renamed as the Ramagundam Fertilizer and Chemicals Limited (RFCL) has taken place at Ramagundam Industrial Area in Karimnagar district. FCI would be revived at a cost of Rs 4,700 crore by the National Fertilizers Limited ((NFL) and Engineers India Limited (EIL). The EIL would take up construction of the project and the NFL would take up production of fertilizers and maintenance of the project. FCI Ramagundam began commercial production in 1980 The project ran into crisis due to various reasons including increase in production cost and it stopped the production from March 31, 1999 forcing the employees to opt for VRS. It would produce 2200 metric tonne of ammonia per day and 385 metric tonne of urea per day.

***** India overtakes US as third biggest steel producer India has overtaken the US to become the third largest steel producer in the world with production of 14.56 million metric tonne in first two months of the year. India has been the fourth largest steel producer for the past five years, behind China, Japan and the US. Data compiled by World Steel Association (WSA) showed that the country's production growth was the highest during the January-February period at 7.6 percent, as compared to the global average of just 0.6 per cent at 127.6 million metric tonne. Production in China, which accounts for nearly half of the global steel production, fell during the period by 1.5 per cent. It produced 65million metric tonne steel during the period. Japan, the second largest producer, reported a total output of 17.4 million metric tonne, but production in the country fell 2.2 per cent. US, which was the third largest steel producer since 2010, produced 13.52 million metric tonne during the January-February period, giving away its position to India. On a yearly basis, India may retain the position given the fact that a lot of capacities are set to be commissioned during the year from its present installed manufacturing capacity of a little over 100 million metric tonne. Production in the US, on the other hand, is heading for a stagnation with no signs of growth in the immediate future. Output in the US has been hovering between 86 million metric tonne and 88 million metric tonne for the last four years. Interestingly, the US snatched the third slot from India in 2009.

India, which has one of the world's largest population of live stock, generates close to 21 lakh tonne of cattle bones. It is this vast availability of cattle that makes the country one of the leading exporters of gelatine. The Rs.5,000 crore capsule industry of India is one of the largest buyers of gelatine. For every ten tablets sold, one capsule gets sold by pharma companies. In case of certain medicines like anti asthma drugs, capusles are the only form of delivery mechanisms. Companies say the use of capsules is not limited only to allopathic medicines, as ayurveda drug makers have started selling medcines in capsule form.

India's first indigenously designed 500 MW fast breeder reactor is expected to generate power from September, 2015 Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Ltd (BHAVINI) said. Full power generation is expected to begin around April 2016 The dummy fuel (fuel pins similar to the real fuel pins but without the fission material) pins numbering 1,757 were loaded in 2013. The successful commissioning of the reactor will be a big feather in the cap of Indian nuclear scientists.The PFBR is designed by Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR).

*****

Gelatine makers affected by beef ban Gelatine, a key element in capsules, vitamin drugs and chicken fodder, is manufactured by processing the bones, skin and tissue of cattle. Most gelatine makers in India use buffalo bones to manufacture the product, but with the introduction of stringent anti-cow slaughter laws by the Maharashtra and Haryana government, companies may face supply constraints for feedstock.

India's fast breeder reactor to start generation BHAVINI is setting up the country's first indigenously designed 500 MW prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam, around 80 km from Chennai. A breeder reactor is one that breeds more material for a nuclear fission reaction than it consumes. The PFBR will be fuelled by a blend of plutonium and uranium oxide, called MOX fuel. While the reactor will break up (fission) plutonium for power production, it will also breed more plutonium than it consumes. The original plutonium comes from natural uranium.

AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE Neem coating of 75% domestic urea made mandatory Government of India has made it mandatory for domestic fertiliser firms to “neem coat” at least 75 percent of their urea production, a move that is likely to save Rs. 6,500 crore subsidy outgo. The move is aimed at checking the excessive use of urea, which is deteriorating the soil health and adversely impacting overall crop yield.

Urea is excessively used, as it is highly subsidised and retail price of urea is fixed at Rs. 5,360 per metric tonne. Therefore, farmers use it even in place of other partially decontrolled NPK fertilisers. According to officials in both Agriculture and Fertiliser Ministries, the soil health is deteriorating because of excessive use of urea and it has disturbed the ideal N (nitrogen) P (phosphorus) and K (potash) ratio of 4:2:1. Fertiliser Association of India has welcomed the move and said that the industry has been demanding for removing the cap on production of neem coated urea for last many years and added that it would help maintaining the ideal nutrient ration in soil.

***** Indian pesticides market The Indian pesticide industry is estimated at Rs 27,000 crore, which includes domestic market of Rs. 15,000 crore and export of Rs. 12,000 crore in FY14. "The industry is expected to register 12-15 per cent growth, which includes domestic market of Rs. 18,000 crore and exports of Rs 15,000 crore in FY16," Pesticides Manufacturers & Formulators Association of India (PMFAI)said. PMFAI is demanding stoppage of imported formulation of readymade materials which MNCs are dumping in the country. It has also demanded reduction in customs duty as the country exports Rs. 12,000 crore worth pesticides. The Indian pesticide industry has the capability and expertise to produce quality products and they have excess production capacity of more than 40 per cent which is not utilised due to imports of pesticides.

*****

Cap on neem coating of urea was removed in January this year, and allowing fertiliser firms to coat the 100 per cent of urea produced by them with neem. Fertiliser Minister had said that with the use of neem coated urea, there will be more yield to the extent of 15-20 per cent and with less use of urea to the extent of 15-20 per cent. According to sources, the higher usage of neem-coated urea would check diversion of urea for industrial use.


AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE Bio fertilizer 'Mycoraja' Insecticides (India) Ltd. is set to commercialise its maiden bio product ‘Mycoraja’ ahead of the onset of the Kharif season to establish a footprint in the Rs. 5,000 crore market segment. While it had been partially commercialised in Haryana, the bio fertiliser will be made available all over the country from April. Mycoraja is a Mycorrhiza fungus based fertiliser, which could help enhance crop yield. The fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with the crop’s root and helps it build immunity while enhancing nourishment through better absorption of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, but also important micronutrients like sulphur, zinc and manganese.

***** Agricultural waste to produce biofuel Agricultural by products, such as straw, sawdust and corncobs, can be used to create environment friendly biofuel to power cars, scientists say. Researchers from the University of East Anglia (UEA) have identified five strains of yeast capable of turning agricultural by products into bioethanol. Researchers estimated that more than 400 billion litres of bioethanol could be produced each year from crop wastage. Processes to generate bioethanol from straw and other by products are currently complex and inefficient. This is because high temperatures and acid conditions are necessary in the glucose release process. But, this treatment process causes the waste to breakdown into compounds, which are toxic to yeast (furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural) making fermentation difficult.

Low calorie rice that can help shed flab developed Scientists have developed a simple way to cook rice that could cut the number of calories absorbed by the body by more than half, potentially reducing obesity rates. Team leader Sudhair A James from the College of Chemical Sciences, Colombo, Sri Lanka, said that the scientists discovered that increasing rice resistant starch (RS) concentrations is a novel way to approach the problem.

One way to avoid these problems is to use genetically modified yeasts. However, the new research has found five strains of naturally occurring yeasts, which could be used successfully in the fermentation process. "Bioethanol is a very attractive biofuel to the automotive industry as it mixes well with petrol and can be used in lower concentration blends in vehicles with no modifications," said lead researcher Dr Tom Clarke, from UEA's School of Biological Sciences.

The new version, introduced in 2005, apparently produces 23 times more beta carotene than its predecessor. Interestingly, golden rice is touted as an “entirely humanitarian” endeavour with public research being funded by donor organisations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Helen Keller Foundation and USAID, among others. GR-2 will be given away free in developing nations, where there is a Vitamin A deficiency issue. Royalty will only be charged in industralised nations. The distribution model, using The Philippines as an example, involved public research institutes such as the International Rice Research Institute in Manila (IRRI, where trials have been conducted over the last decade) and its partner institutions disbursing seeds to farmers for free once Golden Rice is fully developed. Currently, Golden Rice is still under development and is being evaluated at the IRRI and can only be provided to farmers, if it gets regulatory approval.

*****

Golden rice Golden rice is a genetically-modified variant containing beta-carotene, that the technology’s proponents claim will address the problem of Vitamin A deficiency in the developing world. Syngenta helped to develop an improved version called ‘Golden Rice 2’ (GR-2) using a maize gene instead of the one from daffodils. Syngenta has a patent on Golden Rice but has permitted others to work with it.

By using a specific heating and cooking regimen, the team concluded that "if the best rice variety is processed, it might reduce the calories by about 50-60%". Starch is a component of rice and can be digestible or indigestible. Unlike digestible types of starch, RS is not broken down. Thus, the researchers reasoned that if they could transform digestible starch into RS, then that could lower the number of usable calories of the rice.

Sun Pharma - Ranbaxy merger Sun Pharma announced the closure of the company’s $4 billion merger with Ranbaxy Laboratories, making the combined entity the country’s largest drug maker. Sun had bought Ranbaxy from Japanese drug maker Daiichi Sankyo and the merger makes Daiichi, with 9 per cent equity in the combined entity, the second largest shareholder after the promoters. In 2008, Daiichi had bought Ranbaxy from its promoter family, the Singh brothers. What will slowly cease to exist is Ranbaxy as a brand, especially as Ranbaxy will be delisted from the Indian stock exchanges. The merger allows for an increase in research spends, and it would increase from the present $250 million to about $300 million this year. The combined entity would also look to accelerate the three year timeline it had projected to glean $250 million revenues from operating synergies. Sun Pharma itself faces US regulatory scrutiny on some of its plants. Remediation at manufacturing units currently in deviation from cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) norms will remain a critical focus. Sun’s research focus will be on generically similar products and differentiated speciality products. And while India is important, the US is its largest market and the aim would be to bring back many Ranbaxy products that are not in the market. As more products are brought back from Ranbaxy into the market, the additional manufacturing capacity will get used up.

***** Indian Pharma companies will soon be rated by USFDA

Indian pharmaceutical companies will soon be rated by the US on the basis of quality parameters

met by them. The US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) is working on developing quality

metrics to categorise drug companies according to their adherence to norms, which will determine

how they are perceived by buyers.

USFDA is working with its regulatory counterparts around the world.

The number of inspections that firms have to face will also be based on how they fare in the

categorisation, said Deputy Commissioner for Global Regulatory Operations and Policy, USFDA.

The metrics will be applied on firms across the world, including the US.

If a firm has a high commitment to quality, it will show in the metrics and firms can be inspected

less often. Inspections cost money both for FDA and the companies. By building a system that uses

“carrots and sticks” to encourage firms to seek higher quality, the US FDA wants to recognise firms

that have achieved quality.

***** New alzheimer’s drug developed by Biogen ldec An experimental drug for Alzheimer's disease sharply slowed the decline in mental function in a small clinical trial, researchers reported, reviving hopes for an approach to therapy that until now has experienced repeated failures.


PHARMA PAGE

Alzheimer's specialists were impressed, but they cautioned that it is difficult to read much from a small early stage, or Phase I trial, that is designed to look at safety, not the effect on cognition. Also, other Alzheimer's drugs that had looked promising in early studies ended up not working in larger trials. Aducanumabis designed to get rid of amyloid plaque in the brain, believed to be a cause of the dementia. However, other drugs designed to prevent or eliminate plaque have failed in large clinical trials, raising questions about what role the plaque really plays. Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer abandoned a drug they were jointly developing, after it showed virtually no effect in large trials.

***** Stem cell based drug - Stempeucel Cipla said that its joint venture firm Stempeutics Research has received approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for its stem cell based drug Stempeucel, which is used to treat Thromboangiitis Obliterans (TAO).

TAO is a recurring progressive inflammation and thrombosis (clotting) of small and medium arteries and veins of the feet. It is strongly associated with use of tobacco products primarily from smoking, but also from smokeless tobacco. Stempeucel drug is expected to address the root cause of the disease through anti inflammatory and immune modulatory mechanisms.

*****

The drug, being developed by Biogen Idec, could achieve sales of billions of dollars a year if the results from the small trial are replicated in larger trials that Biogen said it hoped to begin this year. Biogen's first announced that the drug had slowed cognitive decline in the trial, without saying by how much. However, there was a high incidence of a particular side effect that may make it difficult to use the highest dose.

Stempeutics Research, which was founded by Manipal Education and Medical Group (MEMG) in 2006 and later entered into a strategic alliance with Cipla in 2009, has received Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) classification for Stempeucel from EMA, the company said in a statement. The ATMP classification, approved by the committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT) of the EMA will allow the Bengaluru- based Stempeutics to commercialise Stempeucel across the European Union region, it added.

Night vision eye drops Researchers in the US have used special kind of eye drops to give temporary night vision to a person, allowing him to see over 50 metres in the dark.

.

Science for the Masses, a group of biohackers based in Tehachapi, California, successfully induced night vision in a human test subject by injecting a liquid solution directly into the eyes. The team used a kind of chlorophyll analog called Chlorin e6 (or Ce6), which is found in some deep-sea fish and is used as an occasional method to treat night blindness. There are a fair amount of papers talking about having it injected in models like rats, and it has been used intravenously since the ’60s as a treatment for different cancers, the lab’s medical officer, Jeffrey Tibbetts, told ‘Science.Mic’.

ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

For companies like OMC, whose business model is to supply power to a well paying anchor customer, such as a telecom tower or a petrol bunk and provide surplus electricity to nearby villages, storage solutions are not just facilitators; they are indispensable. That is more so in solar powered micro and mini grids where companies put up a solar power generation unit to supply power. However, storage systems come with their own issues. First, they are costly. For instance, if it is needed to use a flow battery of Imergy Power to provide 4 hour back up for a 1 MW solar power plant, it would approximately cost Rs. 3 crore. However, costs are coming down. Imergy has a roadmap to bring down cost by 40 per cent in three years. A November 2014 report of UBS and Navigant Research said that battery costs would come down to $ 230 per kWhr (around $ 700 per kWhr now) in about three years and would likely fall to $ 100 later on. Storage systems are also maturing in technology. Lithium ion technology is the market leader today, but is likely to be replaced by flow batteries due to several issues. For instance, lithium ion has problems in ‘deep discharge’. It is necessary to start recharging when it has discharged half of its capacity. It could be dangerous if the battery is overcharged, so it is necessary to stop charging the moment it reaches full. Flow batteries do not have these issues, last as long as 20 years and even have a residual value, because (in some cases) the metal in the electrolyte can be sold. On the other hand, flow batteries are bulky and hence cannot be used in all applications. Energy storage is, therefore, still an evolving science but its future seems assured. The UBS Navigant Research report predicts that the storage industry, riding on the back of falling costs and maturing technology, will grow 50 fold by 2020, from 400 MWhr in 2013.

Renewable energy and storage systems go hand-in-hand everywhere, not just in solar powered micro and mini grid solutions, where the need for storage is more obvious.

SunEdison US renewable energy major, SunEdison, wants to purchase 1,000 vanadium flow batteries from another US company called Imergy Power. A couple of months back, SunEdison had announced that it would jointly power 5,000 villages and small towns in India in collaboration with OMC Ltd, a company that has been in the mini grids business for some years. Now, SunEdison wants to use these batteries for the micro and mini grid systems that it would put up jointly with OMC Ltd.


ENERGY PAGE ABB and Samsung SDI The second announcement came from Switzerland. It said that ABB and Samsung SDI had joined hands to produce lithium ion batteries to promote micro grid solutions globally. Samsung would bring the batteries, ABB control systems, and together they would make micro grids a viable solution to bringing electricity to rural areas.

Solar power projects in Tamil Nadu Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) gave its mandatory approval to the draft PPA in late January, 2015. Under the scheme, the developers who set up projects before September ,2015 will sell their power to Tangedco at a rate of Rs. 7.01 a kWhr. Welspun Renewables has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) for setting up a 100 MW solar project in the State. Welspun’s 100 MW is among the 146 MW worth of PPAs the Government has signed so far under the existing solar power purchase programme. But like many other solar power developers (such as American company SunEdison), Welspun fears it may not be able to complete more projects within the September deadline. Several developers have asked for an extension of the deadline, on which the state Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) will have to take a call. Among the other companies who have signed PPAs are the jeweller GRT (15 MW) and the Andhra based SSNR Power (10 MW). Meanwhile, there are reports that the Adani Group has been examining the possibility of setting up a large, perhaps 1,000 MW, solar plant in the State.

***** Pooling of domestic imported gas Pooling of domestic natural gas with imported fuel seems to have emerged as an answer to revive the stranded gas based power plants. “The Government is considering policy intervention to give a new lease of life to such capacities, which have been lying idle or under utilised due to steep decline in domestic output,” a Government official said. About 14,000 MW of gas based plants with an investment of over Rs. 60,000 crore, which have no domestic fuel supply, face immediate risk of becoming non performing asset.

SAFT The third announcement illuminates this:, a French battery company called SAFT said it had won a $ 10 million order for supplying some 40,000 batteries for “critical solar-powered served systems” at 775 oil fields of Qatar.

*****


ENERGY PAGE In addition to these, about 10,000 MW of power plants are receiving limited quantity of domestic gas and most are operating at very low plant load factor. The power plants are both in public as well as private sector. If the Government is able to come out with a workable solution and revive these plants, then it will lead to about an additional 75 billion units of power, which in monetary terms, translates to about Rs. 40,000 crore. A large number of gas based power plants had come up following the discovery of gas in the country’s East Coast. But, with the production falling beyond expectations, power plants with firm supply allocations also did not receive the allocated quantity. Gas based generation is also considered ideal for balancing the intermittence of renewable generation and in maintaining grid stability by utilising as spinning reserves.

Government of India has now decided to allow sale of bio diesel by its manufacturers, suppliers or authorised dealers to all consumers. The initiative is aimed at increasing the production and usage of bio diesel in the country. No bio diesel has been offered by the bio diesel manufacturers till date at the price announced by the oil marketing companies (OMCs).The price announced for procurement of bio diesel by the OMCs with effect from November 7, 2014 is Rs 41 per litre.

***** China Adds 10.6 GW Solar Capacity in 2014 China added 10.6 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic (PV) power capacity in 2014, taking up one fifth of the world total, the National Energy Administration (NEA) posted on March 9. China’s installed capacity for solar PV power accumulated 28.05 GW by the ed of 2014, up 60% year on year. Of the cumulative installed capacity, 23.38 GW came from solar power stations and 4.67 GW from distributed solar projects, said the NEA. China has been working on increasing its share of non fossil fuels in the power matrix, including hydropower, wind power, solar power and nuclear power. The State Council released an action plan on energy development for 2014-2020 in November,2014 promising more efficient, self sufficient, green and innovative energy production and consumption. Chinese government plans to reduce energy intensity, or units of energy per unit of GDP, by 3.1 percent in 2015.

Government run suppliers allowed to sell bio-diesel to all consumers In 2006, the government had rolled out the bio-diesel purchase policy. As per this policy, OMCs would purchase bio-diesel, meeting the standards prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards, at a uniform price, as may be decoded by the OMCs from time to time.
