TALK OF THE MONTH

CRUDE PRICE FALL - WILL THE EUPHORIA

FOR CONSUMING COUNTRIES BE SHORT LIVED?

Some agencies say that the so called recession in Japan and Europe and fall in demand in China could have resulted in crude price fall. However, the credible explanation appears to be that the price fall have been caused due to steady increase in the production of crude in USA in recent months , as a result of the spectacular increase in the investment in shale gas fields, which has resulted in the global supply scenario of crude moving to surplus . U S remains as one of the largest consumers of crude oil in the world. Until recently, US has been substantially importing its crude oil requirement , not wanting to exploit its own resources. With the production of crude in USA significantly going up, the import level of crude by USA is likely to come down steadily in the coming months. Further, the export of crude from USA is now banned but there are demand by US oil companies that US government should remove this ban. In such case, not only import of crude oil by US will decrease but the export also will take place that would nearly flood the global oil market.

Around a year back, nobody really expected that the price of crude oil would fall below 70 USD per barrel. Now many explanations are being advanced for such crude price fall and also guesses are being made as to what extent the price fall would take place and how long it would persist. The question being debated is whether the global crude oil price would

stabilise at around 60 USD per barrel.


CRUDE PRICE FALL - WILL THE EUPHORIA FOR CONSUMING COUNTRIES BE SHORT LIVED?

The fact today is that the actual global production of crude is more than the global demand. In the past , whenever such situation has developed , the oil producing countries used to reduce the production to ensure that the supply situation would remain tight. This is not happening now , as several oil producing regions such as Venezuela, Russia, Iraq, Iran are largely dependent on income from export of crude and cannot afford to reduce the crude production , whatever may be the compulsions. Saudi Arabia also does not want to reduce the crude production when others would not do so, as it would result in loss of market share for Saudi Arabia.

In recent years, it has been seen that the price of the crude in the world market is significantly influenced by the speculators , who are not consumers but traders. They buy and sell crude anticipating the price behaviour and profit potential. The current situation is that the speculators have understood that the global market is likely to have substantial oversupply in the coming months, that would result in price pressure and therefore , the speculators do not want to burn their fingers by buying oil anticipating any windfall in profit. As the speculators become hesitant and tend to withdraw to some extent, the demand for oil really come down in the speculative market. This inevitably lead to price fall. The situation is grim for shale oil producers in north America, as they would break even only at price of 80 dollars per barrel and above, as they have invested huge amount in drilling and the cost of operations are going up. Any price less than $ 80 per barrel would hurt them severely. At the same time, Saudi Arabia, another large oil producer appears to think that it would be comfortable with the price of 60 USD per barrel. Perhaps, by not reducing the oil production and reconciling for the price of $ 60 per barrel, Saudi Arabia wants to make it difficult for the crude producers in North America and drive them out of the market to some extent, if possible. The likely future scenario would be that the oil producers in North America would try to come to sort of agreement with the other oil producing countries to hike the price of crude in the global market. Certainly, the governments in USA and West Europe would try to make this possible. China , a large consumer of oil is trying to make the best out of the situation by importing more crude when the price is low and building the stock. However, this can have only a limited impact in the global market, as there are limits for storage capacity. The biggest beneficiaries of crude price fall are the large importing countries like India and China and other non oil producing countries like Sri Lanka. However, as of now , it appears that the consuming countries have no particular strategy to convert the present crude price fall into their advantage. While they are having an euphoria now due to the crude price fall, such euphoria may be short lived, as sooner or later, perhaps sooner than later , the crude price would rise to USD 80 per barrel and more due to the manoeuvre of the oil producing countries. However, the speculators who operate from the gallery will have the last laugh as they scheme and skillfully plan , without the type of botheration and risk that oil producing countries have. An investigative and well researched analysis of the global crude price trend has now been released by Nandini Consultancy , Singapore. www.nandinichemical.com)

SHUTTING DOWN SICK PSUs IS IT A STEP FORWARD OR BACKWARD ?

While Government of India has proposed to close down some sick and unviable public sector units, there are quiet a number of other units such as fertilizer plants that remain closed for long time. Continued closure of these units help no one.

It is necessary to quickly identify all such units and wipe them away from the scene, if there would be no possibility of revival. Several of such units are occupying large area of land and have extensive facilities both for process plant as well as utilities.. It would be appropriate to scrap such plants and auction away the equipment at scrap value if necessary and then put the land and building for construction of new projects appropriate to the site. In India today, there is considerable scarcity of land for setting up industrial estates.Land acquisition moves are causing social and political issues resulting in litigation and delay .Further, most of such newly acquired land for industrial projects are agricultural land and it is debatable question as to whether agricultural land should be converted to site for industrial projects. Closing and completely scraping the loss incurring public sector units which are beyond revival is long over due. There is more to gain by closing these units rather than persisting with them due to lack of firm decisions and policies.

Government data shows that there are 61 sick central public sector enterprises that had 1.53 lakh employees as on March 31, 2013. The government has been paying the salaries of all these employees largely through the budget.

It is reported that Government of India has begun the process of shutting some of the sick public sector undertakings. The list of six firms for closure under the department of heavy industry includes Hindustan Photo Films, HMT Bearings, HMT Chinar Watches, Tungbhadra Steel, Hindustan Cable and the iconic HMT Watches. In the second round, 15 more loss-making firms will be under consideration, including British India Corporation, IDPL and their subsidiaries. The Cabinet note seeking closure of the six companies proposes to offer a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) option at the 2007 pay scale for around 3,600 employees in these firms, along with additional benefits.This could amount to a total package of `Rs.1,000 crore.

It is counter productive to take a view that the public sector units should continue to be operated irrespective of the standard of efficiency and profitability in operation. Operation of such units only result in wastage of resources due to poor efficiency and loss to the government.


COAL TO LIQUID PROJECT ABANDONED IN ODISHA A COUNTER PRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT

The prospects for CTL project have generated much interest in the country, as it is aimed at enhancing energy security by reducing dependence on imported crude.

The two CTL projects that have been initiated belong to Tata group and Jindal Steel

and Power. Now that Jindal has decided to give up the project, the hope rests only with proposed project of Tata group.

Government of India amended the Coal Mines (Nationalisation) Act in July 2007 to include coal to liquid (CTL) industry as an end user for allocation of captive coal blocks, so that low rank, high ash coal, which are abundantly

found in India, can be converted into liquid fuels.

Inspite of such government initiatives, the CTL projects in the country have been moving at snail‘s pace.

Jindal Steel and Power is now reported to have scrapped plans to set up a USD 10 billion CTL project at Angul in Odisha, following the Supreme Court‘s

cancellation of Ramchandi coal mine allotted to it. The CTL project was linked with the coal block.

JSPL was allotted Ramchandi Promotional Coal Block with an estimated reserve of 1,500 million metric tonne on February 27, 2009 for the project.

Jindal‘s CTL project was supposed to produce 80,000 barrels per day of crude from coal using German firm Lurgi's technology. The project cost also include

setting up of a 1,350 MW power plant and mine development expenses.

Scrapping of the CTL project by Jindal Steel and Power is a big setback for plans for the development of CTL projects in India.

CTL project of Tata group

The Tatas tied up with Sasol, as Sasol

has proven technology operating at it‘s two commercial scale CTL plants in South Africa, with total capacity of

1,60,000 barrels per day.

The Tata‘s project involves setting up a 30-million metric tonne per annum opencast coal mine for the coal to liquid

(CTL) plant, which has a capacity of 80,000 barrels per day and houses a

captive 1,100-MW power plant.


COAL TO LIQUID PROJECT ABANDONED IN ODISHA -A COUNTER PRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT

The Odisha state government has delayed granting the project a prospecting

licence deed (PL deed) by more than a year.

All subsequent milestones, such as forest clearance, environmental clearance and mining lease, depend on the PL deed and, hence, a PL execution order from the state government is extremely important for further developing the coal block.

The finalisation of a detailed configuration of the CTL plant and its product slate

depends on a detailed understanding of the coal properties for CTL end use and this can be done only after the PL deed is executed.

Though the block was allocated in February 2009, the PL order was issued by the Odisha government only on March 15, 2012. Strategic Energy Technology Systems (SETSPL), a joint venture of Tata group companies and South African firm Sasol, filed an application with the project monitoring group at the Cabinet secretariat to help resolve the issues over its proposed Rs.60,000-crore coal to liquid project in Odisha.

China has made great progress in setting up CTL projects, which has been possible due to sustained and consistent support given by the Government of China. While

China has obtained technology and engineering services for CTL projects from abroad, indigenous technology development efforts in China are significant .

Unfortunately, India still remains as non starter with regard to CTL projects and therefore, India is losing great opportunities. While the Jindal Steel and Power has

taken it‘s decision to give up it‘s CTL projects, the fact is that it has already made substantial progress. Government of India should immediately explore the possibility of reviving this project. This calls for dynamic and pragmatic approach

from the Government of India in tune with the ground realities.

Need for strong government support for CTL project

Government of India should recognize that the promotion of CTL projects in India

in a massive way is the key for rapid development of downstream chemical

projects in the country. As there is no immediate feasibility of stepping up the production of crude oil and natural gas

which are used as feedstock for petrochemical industry, rapid

development of CTL project is the sure way to forge ahead in a manner appropriate to India‘s present scenario.


COLD CRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO PROCESS HEAVY CRUDE OIL P.N.Devarajan, E-mail: [email protected]

Heavy crude oil – current scenario

* In reservoirs, crude becomes ―heavy‖ as a result of bio degradation, in which lighter ends are consumed by bacterial activity, leaving heavier hydrocarbons behind.

* Poor geologic reservoir sealing exposes the hydrocarbon to surface contaminants, I ncluding organic life and contributes to the above process. * There are two main types of heavy crude oil:

(i) High sulphur crudes ( more than 1% by weight) (ii) Low sulphur crudes ( less than 1% by weight) * Heavy crude oils provide challenge for the economics of petroleum refining. * Most heavy oil production processes are slow; it heats slowly and flows slowly out of the

reservoir.

* The two main current technologies for extracting heavy crude oil are cyclic steam stimulation

and steam flooding.

* The lighter grades of crude oil produce the best yields of end products. However, lighter grades of crude are fast depleting. * Depletion of light oil reserves are shifting the focus of the oil industry towards heavy crude oil * Oil refineries are increasingly having to process heavy and ultra heavy crude. * Heavier crude oil have too much carbon and not enough hydrogen. Processing of heavy crude oil requires high capital cost, operating cost and results in harmful emission. Existing processing technologies do not effectively address the issue. * Oil industry has been eagerly awaiting emergence of new innovative and cost effective technologies for processing heavier crude oil.

Mr.P.N.Devarajan was conferred special award on the occasion. Highlights of the speech delivered by Mr.P.N.Devarajan is given in this article

Mr.P.N.Devarajan a renowned chemical engineer and former Chairman of Hindustan Organic Chemical delivered lecture on ―Cold Cracking technology to process heavy crude oil‖ at Chennai on 8th November,2014, in an award function organised by Chemical Industries Association. Mr.P.N.Devarajan spoke on importance of developing technology for heavy crude oil in the light of depleting availability of lighter grade of crude oil.

COLD CRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO PROCESS HEAVY CRUDE OIL Solution by cold cracking technology * Using applied quantum mechanics, Pristec has developed a cold cracking technology that constitutes a novel, highly innovative way to process heavy crude. * Pristec‘s technology is based on ‗cold cracking‘, incorporating the principles of resonance energy advanced electro magnetic and vacuum energy. * Cold cracking technology subjects the crude oil to specific frequencies and destabilizes its molecular bond structure. * The energy inputs required for cold cracking technology is much less than conventional cracking. * Using these principles, cold cracking technology creates `activation‘ of the long chained molecules of the heavy crude. * Activation is the precise stimulation of the electron system of specific elements and molecular bond types. * The atoms of hydrogen, carbon and sulphur in the heavy oil are activated and cause changes in their molecular structure. * Cold cracking technology significantly reduces the temperatures at which long chain molecules tend to crack. * Cold cracking technology reduces CO2 as well as SO2 emission levels in the process due to operation at room temperature and pressure and non catalytic profile. Objectives and impact of the cold cracking technology 1. They increase the proportion of light products like gasoline and diesel in the output;

they reduce density of the crude to make it lighter.

2. They reduce the crude‘s viscosity to make it more fluid for easier transportation.

3. They minimize low value components like vacuum residue, bitumen and wax

4. Cold cracking technology is the first in the world to remove sulphur in

elemental form, by use of C-S activator, which is currently being optimized and engineered,

so as to permit its easy isolation and removal of sulphur from the crude at the very early stages

before the CDU.


COLD CRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO PROCESS HEAVY CRUDE OIL Three types of crackers Hydrogen cold cracking unit It increases the light fraction content of heavy oils. Make in situ hydrogen available for the subsequent processes. Carbon cold cracking unit It cracks up long hydrocarbon molecules and are most effective on residue and extra heavy crude. Carbon cold cracking units can produce light crude from heavier crudes and the impact can be achieved at oil well, crude oil tank farms and at the refineries. Sulphur cold cracking unit It destabilizes sulphur components in the molecular structure of crude.Sulphur is cracked to form elemental sulphur and being much heavier than the crude, allows for separation and safe and economic disposal. Cold cracking technology’s role in Upstream In oil exploration, it can help improve the volume and quality of the extracted oil and help to increase $/Bbl. of sales revenue by decreased production costs. Mid stream In transportation, the viscosity improvement helps to save huge energy costs for pumping and heating as well as the avoidance of high cost of additives currently used. Down stream In refining, cold cracking units can substitute conventional thermal and catalytic cracking and desulfurization units at amazingly low capital and low operating expenditures. Refinery GRM – Gross Refiner Margin ($/Bbl) goes up with incremental investment sustainability – rapid pay back of investment – environmentally friendly For existing refineries using partly heavy crude that are seeking to improve their GRM, cold cracking technology implementation is an opportunity, which can increase the use of heavy crude to a higher proportion in the crude feed mix. Thus, feedstock cost is reduced, increasing distillate production and reducing fuel oil production.


COLD CRACKING TECHNOLOGY TO PROCESS HEAVY CRUDE OIL Financial simulation * Selling price of diesel is $125 /Bbl * Selling price of fuel oil is $100 / Bbl * 20% additional yield of middle distillate will generate ―additional GRM of $5 per barrel of

crude‖ ($125 - $100) x 20% * If Indian refineries adopt cold cracker technology to process their heavy crude feed

(i) additional revenue of about 450 million USD by 2016\

(ii) Subsequently would yield 700 million USD by 2018 Summary In summary, it enables the refineries to invest lower capex and opex in cold cracker technology and cut down on heavy investments on conventional and currently practiced technology and manage any incremental load with existing secondary and tertiary processes like hydrogen generation and hydro treating, since capacity to do so will be released on the advent of cold cracking technology.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SEMINAR ON

“HOW TO MAKE CLEAN INDIA CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFUL?”

Observations:

Lack of cleanliness in public places may be a sociological problem in India. Such conditions have existed in India for last several decades .

* While the government of India has announced Clean India Campaign , it has

not evolved an integrated strategy to handle the waste in eco friendly and appropriate manner.

* Integrated waste management programme can be developed only by developing appropriate technologies for the production of derivative products using

waste as feed stock. * The people can be motivated to collect waste , if they would get value for

the waste, which is possible by making useful products from waste.

Chemical Industries Association, an apex body representing cross section of

chemical and allied industries and based in Chennai organised a seminar at Chennai on 22nd November,2014 on ―How to make Clean India campaign

successful?‖ Seminar was well attended by engineers, IT professionals, social activists

and teaching community.

Highlights of the observations and recommendations made in the seminar are given below.

* The mind set of the people must be changed and they should be sensitized, which is now being done by

Modi government and India has a very long way to go.

* Governments at various levels are responsible for unclean conditions today

in public places, much more than the people.

* The so called celebrities and politicians sweeping for a few minutes

in front of camera may bring the campaign to ridicule, if it continues.


PROCEEDINGS OF THE SEMINAR ON HOW TO MAKE CLEAN INDIA CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFUL?

Recommendations : * Cleanliness in public and private life must be introduced as a compulsory

subject in the school curriculam, just like mathematics.

* Bio toilet facilities must be built in public places including every bus stop and railway stations.

* Government must encourage and recognise the formation of pressure groups amongst local communities consisting of motivated persons , so that

pressures can be brought on the government departments to do the job efficiently and effectively.

* Government should

encourage and motivate R&D activities to evolve processes for utilising waste

by producing value added products. Several such

projects are in operation abroad. For example, apart from power and industrial

water, several chemicals such as methanol can be

produced from waste. India presently imports around

12 lakh tonnes of methanol per annum and several methanol projects from

waste can be set up in different parts of India.

* Industries set up

using waste as feed stock should be given special

subsidies and tax benefits. * Awards must be

instituted by government of India for individuals and

organisations developing technologies for treating

waste in profitable manner.

BIO DIGESTER TECHNOLOGY TO TREAT HUMAN WASTE

The bio digester technology has been developed by Gwalior based Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE) and Tezpur based Defence Research Laboratory (DRL), with an objective for resolving the problems of

un decomposed human waste.

The innovation degrades and converts the human waste into usable water and gas in an eco friendly manner. The generated gas can be utilised for energy/cooking and water for irrigation purposes. The process involves the bacteria which feed

upon the faecal matter inside the tank, through anaerobic process, which finally degrades the matter and releases methane gas that can be used for cooking, along

with the treated water. UK based NRI industrialist Lord Swaraj Paul‘s Caparo Group has joined hands with

DRDO to install environment friendly bio digester toilets across India. The toilets cost only R15,000 each and are cheaper if built for clusters. It was in 2012 that

DRDO had launched bio digester, christened as bio-toilets from Dhamra near the Wheeler Island test facility, from where it used to test launch long-range missiles like Agni and AAD interceptors.

The bio digester technology was used to decompose biological waste generated by

soldiers deployed in high altitude regions such as Siachen and Ladakh. The ELOOs can effectively function in extreme conditions and temperature ranging from -6 degree centigrade to 50 degree centigrade.

To suit different geographical requirements, DRDO has also made various design

modifications in the bio-digester toilets. For example, to avoid choking of toilets in Indian Railways because of people throwing non biodegradable plastics, like bottles, a special lid has been constructed. On pushing the flush, the flap opens and the

bottles fall on the track. The excreta enters through a separate opening into the digester tank.

The Bio digester tank has several chambers to provide more surface area to hasten bio degradation. The chambers increase retention time of the waste in places,

where water table is high like in Lakshwadeep or homes and offices where people flush frequently. In glaciers where the temperature is as low as minus 40 degree

centigrade, the toilet is fitted with solar panels of 240 watt to keep the excreta warm for processing.

Design changes are also being worked for toilets in houseboats in Srinagar to avoid water contamination.

Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), the body which has to provide

toilets to slum dwellers in all clusters in the city, has procured 10-seater mobile toilet vans with DRDO developed bio digester technology

The Prime Minister‘s call for Clean India

Campaign has created a flurry of

activities in the country towards

achieving cleanliness in public places.

While high enthusiasm has been

generated among countrymen, question

still remains as to how large quantity of

waste would finally be handled in cost

effective manner without disturbing the

ecological balance.



UNCERTAINTIES FACING TAPI PIPELINE PROJECT

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

the landlocked country to diversify its gas export markets.

The TAPI pipeline will export up to 33 billion cubic metres of natural gas annually from giant

gas field, Galkynysh in Turkmenistan, to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India over 30 years.

The member countries want to complete the gas pipeline network by 2017. The envisaged

1,800 km pipeline (about 144 km in Afghanistan and 800 km in Pakistan) will have capacity

to transport 90 mmscmed of gas -38 mmscmd each for India and Pakistan and the

remaining 14 mmscmd for Afghanistan.

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.

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.

Challenges

GAIL India is of the view that 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. Since 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 — does not seem feasible.

As of now, no multinational company has shown interest in building the pipeline. The main

reason for their reluctance is the reluctance of Turkmenistan to give them a stake in its

upstream Galkyanysh gas field, from where gas is to be sourced for the pipeline.

Turkmenistan‘s new conditions

The fate of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline hangs in the

balance even as construction is expected to begin next year.

That is because Turkmenistan has argued that its current laws do not permit grant of

production sharing rights for onshore blocks to foreign companies. This has halted

negotiations and restricted the number of foreign companies coming forward to build the

pipeline.

Afghanistan, Pakistan India and

Government owned gas companies of

Turkmenistan, have estblished a company

that will build, own and operate the

planned 1,800 kilometer

Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India

(TAPI) natural gas pipeline.


SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

Fire at Dabur India skin care product factory at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh Dabur India‘s skin care products factory in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, was damaged by a fire recently and production has begun in alternative facilities. Just over a year ago ,the company had launched its latest skin care product, a gel based facial skin bleach, development by Dabur‘s in house R&D team, featuring oxygen and aloe vera.

***** Accident at DuPont Chemical plant in Texas,USA Four workers at the Dupont plant in La Porte, Texas, have been killed, while one worker has been injured, following a chemical leak at the facility. The accident occurred on November 22 when methyl mercaptan, a toxic chemical used during the manufacturing process of insecticides and fungicides, was released. Dupont said the leak started when a valve on a container of methyl mercaptan did not function. Following the accident, an investigating team from the US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has started its investigation.

***** Sivakasi factory blast Four persons died and six others suffered burn injuries in a blast in an aluminum powder factory in Ettakkapatti village near Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu on 2nd December ,2014. Preliminary investigation revealed that friction while grinding the aluminium powder triggered in the blast.Aluminium powder is an important raw material used in fire works manufacturing.

PLANT CLOSURES

Mitsubishi Gas Chemical to quit PTA business Mitsubishi Gas Chemical (MGC) will quit the purified terephthalic acid (PTA) business at the end of March 2015.

MGC and Toyobo are partners in Mizushima Aroma, an equally owned joint venture that operates a 260,000 metric tonne per year PTA facility at Mizushima, Japan, which will close.

Poor margins, caused in part by capacity building up in China and declining PTA prices, are the reasons for the withdrawal.

The plant currently supplies the domestic polyester market, which Mizushima Aroma is planning to quit.

Existing PTA capacity in Japan is about 900,000 metric tonne per year. The other PTA producers there are Mitsui Chemicals, with a plant at Iwakuni that has about 400,000

metric tonne per year of capacity and Toray Industries, with a plant at Okazaki designed for about 250,000 metric tonne per year.

Mizushima Aroma sources its para -xylene ( p -xylene) feedstock from a 350,000 metric tonne per year plant at Mizushima owned 51% by JX Nippon Oil & Energy and 49% by MGC. The future of the p -xylene facility when the PTA plant closes is unclear. JX

Nippon Oil & Energy, as the majority partner, will make a decision on the plant‘s future. MGC is concentrating on meta -xylene ( m -xylene), which it uses at a purified

isophthalic acid (PIA) plant. MGC‘s m -xylene plant, also at Mizushima, is designed to produce 150,000 metric tonne per year. It feeds MGC‘s 70,000- metric tonne per year PIA plant at the same site.

***** Styrolution to shut down polystyrene plant in Sweden

As part of restructuring of its polystyrene business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Styrolution, a joint venture between BASF and Ineos, will close its 80 kilo metric tonne polystyrene production site located in Trelleborg, Sweden. The closure of

the facility is scheduled to occur by the end of 2014. Styrolution will continue to serve customers from its polystyrene sites located in

Antwerp, Belgium and Wingles, France. The planned closure is aimed at bolstering the long term economic sustainability of

Styrolution‘s polystyrene business in EMEA by further enhancing cost structures and maximising utilisation of its production assets in Antwerp and Wingles.The polystyrene

market in Europe has been characterised by decreasing demand, overcapacity and underutilisation.These market dynamics have also affected Styrolution‘s polystyrene business in the region, making it necessary for the company to take this difficult step.


ANTI DUMPING PAGE Final duties on Chinese refrigerants The US Department of Commerce (Commerce Department) on 15 October, released its proposed final resolution regarding antidumping duties and countervailing duties 2014, on Chinese refrigerant gases imported into the United States. The proposed final resolution rules that imports from China of refrigerant gas R-134a, or hydrofluorocarbon-134-a, should be subject to antidumping duties of 280.67% and countervailing duties averaging 11.14%. The US International Trade Commission (ITC) will vote on the resolution. An affirmative vote will impose the duties for at least five years and negative vote would end the process, according to ITC. In October 2013, Mexichem, submitted two legal processes with the ITC against Chinese imports of refrigerant gases—one claiming antidumping duties and the second claiming countervailing duties. Mexichem says that after the preliminary resolution in December 2013, when the ITC unanimously ruled that the industry had suffered injury, the company requested that the Commerce Department pursue the required investigations to establish the resultant compensation duties. In April 2014, the Commerce Department released the preliminary resolution that Chinese imports should be subject to countervailing duties averaging 16.39%.In May, the department preliminarily resolved that Chinese imports should be subject to antidumping duties of 187.48%. After the April 2014 ruling, Mexichem submitted an emergency procedure which ―might achieve that the compensation duties become retroactive since the end of February 2014 for the additional imported volume.‖

***** Import of met coke from China Faced with Chinese dumping, met coke manufacturers in India have raised an alarm of a potential threat to Rs. 15,000-crore worth of bank exposure to the sector. Calling for an increase in import duty on met coke to at least 20 per cent, the Indian Met Coke Manufacturers' Association (IMCOM) expressed concerns over dwindling plant utilisation and increasing imports. China, which had imposed 40 per cent export duty on its met coke exports till December 2012, completely removed it thereby opening the doors for Indian importers with cheaper met coke. At present rates, domestic met coke is $ 40 per metric tonne costlier than imported met coke. India's overall met coke consumption, mostly by steel companies, has remained stagnant at around 35 million metric tonne per annum, out of which about 20 to 25 million metric tonne per annum is the captive capacities, which are unaffected by imports. The installed capacity of merchant met coke is about 10 million metric tonne per annum, but plant utilisation has declined to about 30 to 35 per cent across the sector. The total investment made in the met coke facilities is worth Rs. 30,000 crore. Plant utilisation of met coke will fall further. Most of the manufacturers including Gujarat NRE have gone for debt restructuring .


SWITCH OVER FROM NAPHTHA TO ETHANE AS FEED STOCK GLOBAL TREND

Versalis (Milan) has confirmed plans to enhance the feedstock flexibility of the company‘s Dunkirk, France, steam cracker to enable the plant to consume low cost ethane imported from the United States. The Dunkirk cracker would be able to consume ethane for up to 50% of its ethylene output by 2016. The cracker‘s ethylene capacity of 500,000 metric tonne per year will remain unchanged and the project requires an investment of $127 to 190 million. Versalis is evaluating its C4 supply demand balances in the Mediterranean region before deciding whether to convert the Brindisi cracker to consume US ethane. The Brindisi cracker currently receives feedstock from a refinery at Taranto, Italy, operated by Versalis‘s parent ENI (Rome). Versalis‘s parent ENI (Rome). Versalis currently has two butadiene plants. They are at Ravenna, Italy; and Brindisi. Cracking ethane at Dunkirk and reducing the plant‘s naphtha consumption mean that the cracker‘s output of crude C4s will drop. Versalis has decided not to go ahead with plans to build a butadiene plant at Dunkirk. Versalis announced plans earlier to build a 100,000 metric tonne per year butadiene plant at Dunkirk for start up in late 2016.

A growing list of petrochemical companies are converting coastal crackers in Europe to consume ethane imported from the United States. Borealis, Ineos, and Sabic have each announced plans to ship US ethane to European crackers. Total is considering similar plans. The first wave of Europe‘s ―going lighter‖ feedstock strategy was mainly through LPG and the second wave is through cracking imported ethane.

FOCUS ON HFO 1234 yf - NEXT GENERATION REFRIGERANT

Lower global warming emissions

HFO-1234yf is being adopted because its global warming emissions are lower than those of incumbent MAC refrigerants, including R-143a. EU authorities have

instituted MAC standards that mandate R-134a be phased out because of its high global warming emissions. In the United States, the standards are voluntary, but automakers are switching to HFO-1234yf anyway.

Concerns

The holdout has been Germany‘s Daimler, the maker of Mercedes, who has

expressed flammability concerns about HFO-1234yf. Daimler says that HFO-1234yf has ignited when dispersed at high temperatures to

engine components, conditions the automaker says could occur in a head on collision. However, tests by EU and German authorities—while not denying that

HFO-1234yf could be flammable under extreme circumstances—have found the risk level to be very low and not necessitating regulatory intervention.

―These tests showed no ignition of refrigerants and very low hydrogen fluoride (HF) release despite the very high temperatures in the engine compartment,‖ the

European commission said earlier this year.

The refrigerant R-1234yf, also known as hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)-1234yf, is used in car air conditioning systems.

HFO-1234yf, a next-generation fluorocarbon refrigerant, will be used in

7 million automobiles by 2015, since refrigerants currently used in mobile air-conditioning (MAC) systems are phased out in the US and Europe, according

to DuPont. HFO-1234yf is currently the only commercially available refrigerant with

global warming potential sufficiently low enough to comply with the requirements of the MAC directive.

The substance is largely a replacement for R-134a, which has been used in MAC applications since chlorofluorocarbon-based refrigerants were phased

out under the Montreal Protocol.

HFO-1234-yf is being adopted by nearly all of world‘s top automakers, and DuPont expects that it will be in 3 million cars by the end of this year.


FOCUS ON HFO 1234 yf –NEXT GENERATION REFRIGERANT

Joint developers DuPont and Honeywell, who jointly developed HFO-1234yf, maintain that the substance

is safe.

DuPont is planning a second phase of the plant, which will double capacity and come

onstream by the end of 2014. Project in China

While the substance was developed in anticipation of European MAC rules, production was located in China because of the need to quickly ramp up.

When the product was approved to conform to the MAC standard … China was the only place they could get the plant up quickly enough.

DuPont‘s plans DuPont is planning capacity expansions, which are on track. DuPont says that it has

sufficient supply to meet it‘s customers‘ projected demand and are prepared to make additional investments when long-term demand justifies it.

Honeywell‘s plans

In December 2013, Honeywell announced the construction of HFO-1234yf plant at Geismar, LA, as part of a $300-million program to expand capacity for the product worldwide. The plant is expected to be operational by 2016.

Demand driver

HFO-1234yf adoption in the US is driven by the newly strict Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards in addition to MAC standards and manufacturing considerations. The US light vehicle fleet must average 54.5 miles per gallon of gasoline by 2025.

Fluorocarbons players

DuPont is North America‘s largest maker of fluorocarbons, including HFO-1234yf and other substances, with 37% of annual production of 476,000 metric tonne.

Refrigeration and air conditioning are the largest end uses for fluorocarbons, although they are also often used as polymer precursors.

In Western Europe, the largest fluorocarbons maker is Solvay, with 31% of the 330,000-metric tonne market, followed closely by Arkema, with 30% of the market.

Production is concentrated in China. DuPont‘s joint venture

with Changshu 3F Zhonghao New Chemical Materials produces 3,000 metric tonne per year of HFO-1234yf in China, with European automotive customers using much of

that production.


FOCUS ON HFO 1234 yf -–NEXT GENERATION REFRIGERANT

EU PROBES DUPONT- HONEYWELL REFRIGERANT COLLABORATION

R-1234yf

Honeywell and DuPont are the only two suppliers of HFO-1234yf to automakers. The cooperation between the two companies on production of HFO-1234yf has

reduced their decision making independence and restricted competition, according to the commission‘s provisional findings. The restrictions include a limitation of available quantities of HFO-1234yf that would have otherwise been brought to the

market as well as a limitation of related technical development, the commission says.

The commission says that it is concerned that a series of agreements concluded between Honeywell and DuPont in 2010 related to production and the development

of production processes for HFO-1234yf may have hindered competition on the market for the refrigerant.

View of DuPont

DuPont says that it has complied with applicable laws in developing and commercializing HFO-1234yf. DuPont says that it will fight this move of European

Commission every step of the way, as it has no basis in law or fact.

DuPont and Honeywell developed HFO-1234yf jointly in response to the MAC directive, according to DuPont. ―The regulatory time frame was short considering the significant challenges of developing and commercializing a refrigerant that

meets all the automotive industry‘s needs. This short time frame was a primary reason for DuPont and Honeywell working jointly‖.

HFO-1234yf would not have been successfully developed without DuPont and Honeywell working together, DuPont says.

The European Commission has issued a statement of objections to Honeywell and DuPont, citing the commission‘s preliminary view that a cooperation

started in 2010 to develop and produce refrigerant R-1234yf may have breached EU antitrust rules.

A statement of objections is a formal step in commission investigations into suspected violations of EU antitrust rules.

CARBON FIBER - UPDATES Carbon fiber precursor plant in France Toray Industries has held a ceremony to mark the completion of a new polyacrylonitrile (PAN) manufacturing plant at Lacq, France. The product is used as precursor in the production of carbon fiber.

The subsidiary will also supply various Toray production bases, including the advanced materials subsidiary in South Korea, contributing to the group wide business expansion. Worldwide demand for PAN based carbon fibers exceeded 40,000 metric tonne per year in 2013 and is expected to continue growing by more than 15% per year. In addition to Toray‘s high performance regular tow carbon fiber Torayca, the company in February acquired Zoltek (St. Louis) and fully entered the large tow carbon fiber business, enabling it to respond to growing demand by supplying products that meet various market needs.

***** Carbon fiber plant in France Hexcel is expanding its carbon fiber production capacity through new polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and carbon fiber lines at Roussillon, France. The $250-million facility is part of Hexcel‘s ongoing, worldwide investment to create a diversified global supply chain to support aerospace customers‘ growing demand for carbon fiber composites. The new plant will occupy a 37-acre site at the Osiris Chemicals Industry Platform, which is close to Hexcel‘s weaving and prepreg manufacturing facilities near Lyon, France. Carbon fiber from the new plant will be supplied to Hexcel customers, including Airbus for the A350 XWB and Safran for the CFM LEAP engine. The construction of the new plant will begin by mid-2015. The unit is expected to be operational in early 2018. In recent years, Hexcel has increased its PAN and carbon fiber capacities through targeted expansions at existing facilities. Hexcel is currently investing in ongoing precursor and carbon fiber expansions at its facilities in the United States and installing its resin mixing and filming technology, first developed in Europe, in the country. Hexcel uses its own PAN and carbon fiber technology. The company currently operates a PAN plant at Decatur, AL; and carbon fiber facilities at Salt Lake City and Illescas, Spain.

The completed precursor plant is part of Toray‘s investment plan announced in March 2012 to expand carbon fiber production capacity at its four global production sites in Japan, the United States, France and South Korea. The new plant is the third PAN production base at the group, adding to facilities in Japan and the United States. It enables Toray‘s subsidiary for carbon fiber in Europe to integrate production, switching to precursor produced at its own plant from material imported from Japan, which will boost the company‘s cost competitiveness.


UPDATE ON GAS / OIL EXPLORATION

Delay in ONGC drilling of HTHP fields

ONGC‘s plans to produce oil and gas from ‗high temperature, high pressure‘ fields (HTHP fields) will take at least another year to reach fruition.

It has been two years since ONGC set up a ‗Centre for Delivery‘ for generating oil and gas from ‗high temperature, high pressure (HTHP)‘ reservoirs. These tough to

tame reservoirs are estimated to hold about 350 million metric tonne of oil and gas, though yield is likely to be only a seventh of the figure.

In HTHP reservoirs, oil and gas lie embedded in sand and rocks at very high temperatures or pressure. Earlier, there was no technology to prodce hydrocarbons

from such fields, but companies have now developed the technology. The ‗Centre for Delivery‘ is based in Chennai.

ONGC plans to drill five wells ―in the near future‖, two in the Cauvery basin and

three in the Krishna-Godavari basin. However, industry sources say that even 2015-16 may be too optimistic. Tenders

have been issued calling for partners and consultants in the Cauvery basin, the first may be near Bhuvanagiri, which is both high pressure and ‗tight‘ (where

hydrocarbons lurk in hard rock and have to be fracked out). The oil-bearing zone is a lucractive 400 metres thick, and occurs at a depth of 3.3km.

Another at Periyakudi was discovered three years ago. This one, nearly 5 km down, features all three major challenges high temperature, high pressure and

tight. But the oil bearing zone is over half a kilometre thick. The third is a tight reservoir at Pallivaramangalam. In the K-G basin, three are on

land Bantumilli, Kottalanga and Mandapetta and one in the shallow waters off Yanam.

***** Polymer injection in Mangala field to enhance oil recovery

Cairn India has initiated polymer injection at the ‗Mangala‘ field to enhance recovery of oil. ―Mangala enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project is among the largest

polymer flood EOR programmes in the world. The polymer injection activity would gradually be ramped up.

Polymer flooding, also known as chemical flooding or chemical EOR, is one of the preferred EOR technologies used for improving oil recovery,particularly in older and

declining oil wells/oil reservoirs. In polymer flooding, polymers are used to make the water injected into the injection well oil reservoirs more viscous.


UPDATE ON GAS / OIL EXPLORATION Cairn India has recognised the potential for chemical EOR at an early stage of development in its Mangala, Bhagyam and Aishwariya (MBA) fields. The reservoir quality, oil properties and ambient temperature make these fields ideal for the application of chemical flooding EOR methods such as polymer or alkaline surfactant polymer (ASP) flooding. The chemical EOR programme has a potential to enhance recoveries from the Mangala, Bhagyam and Aishwariya fields by around 300 mmbbls. The Mangala ASP pilot programme, the next phase of EOR has also yielded excellent results so far, suggesting better mobilisation of oil post polymer flooding. This will enable the company to further unlock the potential of the prolific Rajasthan block and help contribute significantly towards the nation‘s energy security.

***** Sale price of KG basin gas by GSPC Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC) has agreed to sell natural gas produced from its Deen Dayal West (DDW) field in the Krishna-Godavari basin at a government approved price of $5.61/mBtu. This clears the uncertainty that the Gujarat based explorer wants a much higher gas price of $8.5 per mBtu against revised government approved price of $5.61 from November 1. GSPC has reportedly spent more than $2 to 3 billion to develop the acreage and also came across several hurdles to drill the area in the Bay of Bengal. Intitial estimated production were pegged at 5 to 6 mscmd, which could go upto 15 mscmd upon development of additional wells. The prolific find — KG-8 — later renamed as Deen Dayal is pegged to hold 1.8 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of reserves, which was also certified by upstream regulator Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH). The block was bagged in 2003. GSPC is the operator with 80% stake, while UK‘s Jubilant and Canada‘s GeoGlobal Resources each have 10% share.

153 YEAR OIL WELL IN PITTSBURG, USA THAT IS STILL PUMPING ON

About 70 miles north of Pittsburgh in USA, a pothole pocked dirt road along the side of a warehouse leads to a solitary oil well. McClintock No. 1, the world‘s oldest continually producing oil well, is still going after 153 years, quietly churning out about 1/10 of a barrel a day from a small spot in a clearing of trees. Crude bubbles up from this 625-foot well. On its best days, McClintock yielded about 175 barrels. The well‘s output today is sold to a fuel company to make motor oil, but that is not really why it‘s still in operation.. ―It‘s definitely not economically viable right now. It‘s about the status.‖

ACRYLONITRILE - PRODUCT PROFILE Process Acrylonitrile is produced by ammoxidation of propylene. Propyelne, ammonia and air are reacted in a fluidised bed reactor to produce acrylonitrile with acetonitrole and hydrogen cyanide as by products. The original catalyst consisted of bismuth phosphomolybdate on silica, but recent catalyst developments have improved yields and can boost capacity of existing plants by 20%. BP Amco Chemicals, Asahi Chemicals, and Mitsubishi Chemicals are working on a new generation propane based technology. Since the price of propane is lower than that of propylene, producers have focused on the research on propane ammoxidation process for producing acrylonitrile. Issues and lawsuit in China Ineos Group AG claims there are at least three new acrylonitrile factories being built in China that are illegally using its technology and it defended its high-stakes lawsuit against Chinese state owned petrochemical company Sinopec, by saying that it feared a wave of copycat factories there would threaten the future of its business. Ineos, which claims that its technology provides the basis of 90 percent of the world‘s acrylonitrile production, accused Sinopec in a lawsuit in China of violating Ineos intellectual property and misusing trade secrets to construct new facilities in China. It also suggested that the outcome of the legal battle could have major commercial implications, since most of the world‘s new acrylonitrile production through 2020 will be in China. Scenario in China

In 2013, China‘s total capacity to make acrylonitrile reached around 1.388 million metric tonne per annum and the total output reached around 1,2824 million metric tonne. In 2013, China‘s apparent consumption of acrylonitrile was 1.83 million metric tonne, being slightly more than that in 2012. China‘s consumption mix of acrylonitrile was around 48% for acrylic fiber, 28% for ABS/SAN, 14% for acrylamide, 5% for polyether polyols and around 5% for others including acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber.

and several of the new polycarbonate plants employ non phosgene processes.

Prognosis

In recent times, substantial increase in demand has taken place in the optical storage media.

The growth in the automobile sector and construction activities also would ensure steady growth in demand for polycarbonate resins and sheets as well as blends.

While a number of new applications are emerging, the growth in demand would even become more vibrant, if strong application development efforts would be

initiated by the manufacturers.

PHOSGENE – PRODUCT PROFILE

Synonyms : CG; carbon dichloride oxide; carbon oxychloride; Chloroformyl chloride; dichloroformaldehyde; dichloromethanon

If this compound is handled with extensive care and all necessary precautions are taken to avoid inhalation, the problem can be overcome.

Uses and application

Phosgene is used for producing many polycarbonates and isocyanates. Toluene diisocyanate, methylene diphenyl diisocyanate are the two most important

derivatives of phosgene.

* Phosgene is a versatile reagent used in many well known applications including the synthesis of complex heterocycles peptides and protecting groups, phenobarbitone.

* Phosgene is gaining increasing importance in the manufacture of key

intermediates for the synthesis of oral antibiotic becampicilline and in the phosgenation of aldehydes and epoxides. A new hexa alkyl quanidinium chloride catalyst has been developed which can be used in the synthesis of acid chlorides,

dementhylation of aryl methyl esters and regeneration of triphenyl phosphine which is used in vitamin synthesis.

CAS No.: 75-44-5 Molecular Formula: COCl2

Appearance: Colourless gas

Solubility: Decomposes in water Soluble in benzene, toluene, acetic

acid, decomposes in alcohol and acid

Toxicity Phosgene is highly toxic and

symptoms of its inhalation are noticed slowly.it mainly leads to respiratory

disorders such as suffocation, which is a major restraint for the growth of the phosgene industry.



Diethylcarbamoyl chloride

Diethylcarbamoyl chloride is a derivative of phosgene and is used to hydrolyze water insoluble compounds and is used in the pharmaceutical industry.

Process

Industrially, phosgene is produced by passing purified carbon monoxide and chlorine gas through a bed of porous activated carbon, which serves as catalyst.

CO + Cl2 → COCl2 (ΔHrxn = −107.6kJ/mol)

The reaction is exothermic and therefore, the reactor must be cooled. Typically,

the reaction is conducted between 50 and 150 deg.C. Above 200 deg. C, phosgene reverts to carbon monoxide and chlorine.

Because of safety issues, phosgene is often produced and consumed within the same plant and extraordinary measures are introduced to ensure safe handling of

the product.

Restrictions under OPCW Phosgene is listed on schedule 3 of the Chemical Weapons Convention:

All production sites manufacturing more than 30 metric tonne per year of phosgene must be declared to the OPCW.

Although less dangerous than many other chemical weapons, such as sarin, phosgene is still regarded as a viable chemical warfare agent because it is so easy

to manufacture when compared to the production requirements of more technically advanced chemical weapons such as the first generation nerve agent tabun.

Global consuming region

Western Europe has been the leading consumer of phosgene followed by North America and China.

Global producers

PPG, Dow and VanDeMark Chemical are the major US based phosgene producers.

There are a few other producers in different countries.

NON PHOSGENE ROUTES TO ELIMINATE USE OF PHOSGENE

Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate production is based on reacting phosgene with phenol to produce diphenyl carbonate (DPC), which is then reacted with bisphenol A (BPA) to produce

the polymer and liberate phenol for reuse.

The non phosgene route developed by various licensors involve the same overall approach, where polymerisation relies on the transesterification of DPC (diphenyl carbonate) with BPA. This is more commonly termed as the melt process, as the

two stage polymerisation takes place in the absence of solvents.

Commercial processes for DPC production (non phosgene route) is given below

Name of the company Process adopted / developed

Sabic Innovative Plastics Oxidative carbonylation of methanol to yield dimethyl carbonate (DMC). The DMC undergoes trans esterification with phenol to give DPC

Bayer DMC is made by carbonylation of methyl nitrite

Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Urea is reacted with n-butanol to give dibutyl carbonate The dibutyl carbonate undergoes trans esterification with phenol to give DPC.

The non phosgene process for polycarbonate (PC) production developed by

Asahi Kasei is the world's first to use carbon dioxide as starting material. The new process eliminates the hazards associated with the use of carbon

monoxide, phosgene and methylene chloride as process materials. The process features high productivity and yield, little by product, less contaminated process

water requiring treatment and low impurities in product PC. High purity ethylene glycol (EG) is a co product of the process.

Because of safety issues concerning phosgene use, several companies have commercialized processes that use non-phosgene routes.

With the increasing demand for safer and cleaner chemical processes, the hazardous phosgene route has to be improved or essentially being replaced by

eco friendly technologies with CO2 as the alternative C1 starting material.

Already, several of the newer polycarbonate plants employ the non phosgene processes. Long-term non-phosgene for polycarbonate seems the way to go, not only for safety concerns, but because significantly less capital is employed.

Non phosgene route for diphenyl carbonate

GE produces diphenyl carbonate (DPC) which is produced from carbon monoxide, methanol and oxygen using Enichem Technology.

Mitsubishi has technology for making DPC from di-n-butyl carbonate, which is be produced from urea and n-butyl alcohol.

Asahi/Chi Mei produces DPC from DMC, which is produced by methanolysis of

ethylene carbonate. Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO2

DMC is an ambient liquid and currently used in the production of polycarbonates

and lithium batteries. In the future, it is expected that DMC and its derivatives will be used as additive to gasoline and diesel.

DMC is produced from phosgene and non phosgene route. Phosgene route involves the reaction of phosgene and methanol, with hydrochloric acid as

byproduct. DMC has been produced by the reaction of methanol with phosgene in a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. However, owing to the high toxicity and the severe corrosivity of phosgene, this process has been abandoned gradually.

Currently, DMC is produced mainly by oxidative carbonylation of methanol (non

phosgene route). The synthesis can be carried out in both liquid and gas phases.

Non phosgene route (developed by Polimeri / Lummus) involves the reaction of carbon monoxide, methanol and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is produced as by product. The CO2 is sent to a CO generation unit and recycled back to the process.

The process avoids the safety and waste product issues associated with

conventional phosgene based DMC processes.


PHOSGENE – PRODUCT PROFILE The demand for DMC has grown strongly in recent times because of its green

properties. It is used increasingly as a substitute for toxic products such as phosgene as well as traditional methylation agents. Other applications include as a

solvent for coatings, an octane booster in petrol and as a component of diesel.

Akzo Nobel Industrial Chemicals (ANIC)

Akzo Nobel developed a production route using CO2 as raw material.

The conversion process involves reacting CO2 with hydrogen to produce methanol. Methanol is then converted into DMC using CO2. At present, the company conducts pilot study and intends to scale up the design to 50,000 to 100,000 metric

tonne per annum.

The DMC process consists of a combination of new catalysts and new reactor technology. VITO in Flanders and SINTEF in Norway joined Akzo Nobel as partners in developing the technology.

SINTEF has the high throughput screening facilities needed to test the large number

of catalysts and this led to 240 unique catalysts, 40 of which are now being tested in depth.

Both the European Union and the Dutch government are also contributing financially to the R&D efforts.

King Saud University, Saudi Arabia

Recently, direct synthesis of DMC from CO2 and CH3OH has been reported as a most attractive route due to the low cost of CO2 and the environmentally benign

process. However, DMC yield in this route is relatively low due to the fact that CO2

is thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert and due to the deactivation of catalysts induced by water formation in the reaction process.

Scientists studied the reaction over Cu–Ni/graphite nano composite catalyst in

gaseous phase and obtained 10.13% of CH3OH conversion and 89.04% of DMC selectivity at 105 deg C.

The other group of scientists studied the synthesis of DMC from gaseous methanol and CO2 over H3PO4 modified V2O5 catalyst with various molar ratios H3PO4 / V2O5

(P/V). The best conversion (1.95%) and selectivity of DMC (92.12%) was obtained at 130 deg C on the catalyst H3PO4 / V2O5 (P/V = 0.20).

The scientists from King Saud university studied synthesis of DMC from CH3OH and CO2 in gas phase system under atmospheric pressure, using Co1.5PW12O40 as a

catalyst. It was found that both CH3OH conversion and DMC yield decreased with increasing temperature, owing to the decreased CO2 adsorption on the catalyst at

high temperatures.



The optimal reaction conditions for the synthesis of DMC are lower temperature and high space velocity.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI)

MHI is developing two step process using CO2 and methanol to produce dimethly carbonate (DMC).

Non phosgene route for cyclic carbonate from CO2

The cycloaddition of epoxides with CO2 is one of the most promising and eco friendly phosgene free methods for the manufacture of cyclic carbonates since this

would be a highly efficient and full atom efficiency process with high selectivity. Five membered cyclic carbonates, as one of the most important classes of

heterocycles starting from CO2, have found wide applications such as electrolytic elements of lithium secondary batteries, polar aprotic solvents, monomers for

synthesizing biodegradable polycarbonate, chemical ingredients for preparing pharmaceutical or agricultural chemicals and alkylating agents.

Phosgene Free carbamoylation of aniline via dimethyl carbonate

Organic carbamates are versatile compounds employed as pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and in the synthesis of

polyurethanes, in addition to being used as protecting groups. Industrially, carbamates are synthesized predominantly through the reaction of the parent amine with phosgene (i.e., chloroformate) . This process is toxic and produces

unwanted waste.

Probably the most promising phosgene free synthetic approach for carbamoylation of aniline is the one involving dimethyl carbonate (DMC) chemistry.

***** New method found to turn sawdust into petrol Scientists at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium used a new chemical process to convert the cellulose in sawdust into hydrocarbon chains. These hydrocarbons can be used as an additive in gasoline or as a component in plastics, researchers said. Cellulose is the main substance in plant matter and is present in all non edible plant parts of wood, straw, grass, cotton and old paper.

"At the molecular level, cellulose contains strong carbon chains. We sought to conserve these chains, but drop the oxygen bonded to them, which is undesirable in high grade gasoline," said Professor Bert Sels.

Silica from rice husk The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Akron,OH) has found silica derived from rice husk ash performs equally to traditional sources in reducing rolling resistance in tiers. The company is negotiating with potential suppliers to purchase the otherwise waste product.


TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT The new method to derive these hydrocarbon chains from cellulose was developed by researcher Beau Op de Beeck. "This is a new type of bio refining, and we currently have a patent pending for it. We have also built a chemical reactor in our lab: we feed sawdust collected from a sawmill into the reactor and add a catalyst a substance that sets off and speeds the chemical reaction," said Dr Bert Lagrain.

"The green hydrocarbon can also be used in the production of ethylene, propylene and benzene the building blocks for plastic, rubber, insulation foam, nylon, coatings and so forth," Sels added.The research was published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science.

***** Canadian research body, to test fibre tech at Aditya Birla group unit Canada‘s Centre for Research and Innovation in Bio Economy, an independent research organisation, has teamed up with an Ontario based biochemical producer, Greenfield Specialty Alcohols, to test a new fibre extraction technology at Aditya Birla Group‘s Terrace Bay, a pulp mill. Aditya Birla Group had acquired Terrace Bay Pulp, a North American paper grade pulp company, for $110 million in 2012. The Indian firm plans to convert it into a specialty pulp operation to be used to make rayon for textiles. Known as AV Terrace Bay, the acquisition had given the Indian company access to the surrounding woodlands to produce dissolving wood pulp, a critical ingredient for its viscose staple fibre (VSF) business. The Ontario pulp mill is now being used as a testing ground for a prototype technology designed to extract and separate sugar from wood and improve fibre recoveries. Centre for Research and Innovation in Bio-Economy, with $25 million in funding provided by the Government of Ontario, has decided to invest $1.3 million in the project, while Greenfield is to match the investment as part of the $2.7 million project. Work in India At Aditya Birla Science and Technology Company (ABSTC) in Taloja,in Maharashtra the Fibre Science Laboratory works in collaboration with the Group‘s fibre businesses to focus on development of new products and technologies for cellulosic fibres and value added acrylic fibres.

The Grasim Forestry Research Institute at Harihar houses the facility for manufacture of both VSF and rayon grade pulp.

"With the right temperature and pressure, it takes about half a day to convert the cellulose in the wood shavings into saturated hydrocarbon chains, or alkanes," Lagrain said. "Essentially, the method allows us to make a 'petrochemical' product using biomass - thus bridging the worlds of bio-economics and petro chemistry," he added.


TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT Moreover, even as the Birla Research Institute for Applied Sciences at Nagda in Madhya Pradesh is accelerating improvements in new fibre production technologies, the Textile Research and Application Development Centre at Kharach in Gujarat, has ushered in novel applications for fibres.

Though the technology is still young, the inventors believe that this can provide a solution to air conditioning rooms, which now costs a lot of energy. Published in Nature, a paper by Aaswath Raman et al. describes the new material and its properties. At a thickness of about 1.8 microns, the material is thinner than an aluminium foil. It is made up of seven layers of hafnium oxide and silicon dioxide, each of differing thicknesses, on top of a thin layer of silver. It is designed to reflect both infrared light (which cannot be seen) and visible sunlight. What is special is that the material reflects light at the frequency which is not absorbed by atmospheric gases. This is known as the atmospheric window. When light with a frequency between 8 and 13 microns is beamed into the atmosphere, it goes unabsorbed and escapes into outer space. This is the frequency window at which the material reflects the infrared and visible light which strikes it. By this method, the material can cool the interior by almost 5 degrees Celsius. Though radiative cooling happens in the 8 to 13 micron window, atmospheric gases do absorb radiation at about 10 microns. Since absorption at 10 micron band can also warm up the atmosphere, of what advantage is this process? Certainly, most surfaces exposed to the sky radiate their heat out as thermal radiation — one could also call [it] ‗thermal light‘, since this is the heat all objects emit away as light at wavelengths that correspond to the object‘s temperature. The entire goal of the work is to harness this effect on the surface, specifically during the day, and not to cool the atmosphere itself in anyway.

***** Biodiesel technology The Danish enzymes maker Novozymes announced the launch of the first commercial enzyme technology to convert waste oil from fast food restaurants and factories into biodiesel for cars and lorries.Conventional biodiesel is created by using natural materials such as rapeseed and converting its oils into diesel fuel but such feedstocks are more expensive than waste."Biodiesel producers can thereby reduce their raw material costs," Novozymes said in a press release.

No licence needed for explosive used by mining sector

To help the mining, cement and construction sectors, the Government of India said that no licence under the Industries (Development & Regulation) Act, 1951 would be necessary for mine owners to manufacture ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO)

explosives.

―This will help mine owners using ANFO to continue mining operations and will help the development of cement industry as well as the construction sector,‖ the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) said in a statement.

ANFO manufacturers were required to take licence for possession and use of

blasting accessories — booster, safety fuse, detonating fuse and detonators under Explosive Rules, 2008 for which a firm has to obtain No Objection Certificate from district authorities and also from Director General of Mines Safety.

Monthly returns are filed by the licence holders under the Explosive Rules to district

authorities as well as Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organization. ANFO explosive is prepared by mixing ammonium nitrate with fuel oil in an

aluminium or wooden tray with hand mixing and immediately charging into the bore holes in the adjacent quarry or mines for blasting.

No packaging, storage, sale or transportation of ANFO is involved in the conventional manufacturing and using process.

The licencees prepare ANFO for their own use and on the spot captive consumption

for blasting purposes in metalliferous mines/quarries, the statement said. *****

Cold storage warehouses at LNG terminals

Petronet LNG, India‘s biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) importer, is carrying out

feasibility studies on harnessing ‗cold energy‘ for commercial usage by setting up power generation units or specialised cold storage warehouses, at its LNG terminals. The concept, popular in Japan and China, is being experimented in India,

where the possibility to set up cold storages near LNG terminals has been explored.

In an LNG terminal, the imported gas is received at cryogenic conditions (minus 1600 celsius). It is stored in specially designed storage tanks and re gasified using

various sources of heat. During re gasification, there is a reasonable potential for recovery of ‗cold energy.‘ A few possible ways could be an air separation unit to generate liquid industrial gases such as liquid nitrogen, oxygen and argon,

cryogenic power, warehousing, production of dry ice and integration with adjacent power plants.


NEWS ROUND UP - INDIA

In case of power generation, cold energy gives additional efficiency of 5-10%. It could be integrated with a power plant in the vicinity of the terminal, or with a

power station within the facility. But unless there is a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA), it may not be viable.

Based on 2012 statistics, it said that India needs to expand its cold storage infrastructure in an affordable, reliable and sustainable way to increase the

contribution of agriculture to the economy. The report said that approximately 60 per cent of the total number of facilities are

located only in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, West Bengal and Punjab. Only 4 million of the 104 million metric tonne of fresh produce is transported through a cold chain.

Cold storage for potatoes in West Bengal account for around 80 percent.

As West Bengal is one of the top producers in the country, private sector has contributed about 85 percent of the investment in cold storage infrastructure in the

State.

New cold storage facility for onion, carrot, beetroot and apple are now being proposed.The organization found that cold storages are used only for 10 to 11 percent of fruits and vegetables produced in India. The storage capacity needs to

increase 40 percent to avoid wastage, the report said.

In addition, cold energy could be used for specialised cold storages. These are not normal warehouses they require storage at cryogenic conditions and used to

store drugs/vaccines.

―In spite of such potential, only a small portion of cold energy is recovered during the regasification process. As LNG terminal integrated cold storage units exist in

Japan and China, the technical feasibility of such projects already exists globally.‖

GLOBAL PALM OIL SCENARIO

Global output

Despite initial apprehensions about the adverse effects of El Nino, which triggered a

rally earlier in 2014, world palm oil production in 2013 to 2014 is up 3.5 million metric tonne to a new high of 63.3 million tonnes. This was the result of new plantings between 2005 and 2011. Those young trees have now matured into a

robust high yielding phase.

These factors have seen crude palm oil prices drop some 15 per cent in recent months. In taking a call on palm oil price trends, the focus is invariably on the world‘s largest producers and exporters, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Smaller producers in Thailand (2.2 million metric tonne) and Columbia (one million

metric tonne). are becoming increasingly important to the global equation. The soyabean factor

Apart from output in 2014, other key drivers of palm oil prices are demand for

biodiesel, crude oil prices, weather events, currency dynamics and the outlook for other soft oils.

The price differential between crude palm oil and soft oils that used to be in the region of $150 a tonne is at just half that level currently. For palm oil to retain

market share, its discount to soft oils should continue to remain high. The outlook for soyabean oil, in this context, is turning positive. Dry conditions

faced by Brazil in October are causing some anxiety about soyabean plantings, particularly the yield. One can expect supply response to prices.

A rebound in global oilseeds and vegetable oil production for two

years in a row — 2013 and 2014 — has resulted in a market surplus. As a result, the global inventory of

four major oils — palm, soya, rapeseed and sunseed — stands

expanded. Palm oil has shown the highest level of inventory increase. Malaysian stocks have risen above

the psychological level of two million metric tonne.

Recent developments in the global vegetable oils market have provided a likely

direction for palm oil prices in the first quarter of 2015.


AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE

If the apprehended supply response were to combine with some adverse weather event, it will lead to tightness in soyaoil prices, which will also affect palm oil. Crude

oil prices have considerably softened in recent weeks. If the current price levels of crude oil sustains, it would be negative for palm oil, as

diversion for biodiesel will slow.

At the same time, palm oil will enter the biological down cycle in 2015 which, in turn, means output growth may not be as healthy as in the previous two years. This will lead to a drawdown in inventory over time.

Overall, the palm oil market is likely to face several pulls and pressures in the

coming months. If weather in South America improves in the coming days, the price rally seen in October will peter out.

But other factors remaining unchanged, over the next four months, crude palm oil is likely to trade in a range of 2,150 to 2,350 Malaysian ringgit a metric tonne.

India has in the past blocked efforts to patent naturally occurring turmeric and tulsi

(basil) etc, and has even set up a digital traditional library to document known uses of these products. And the reason for that is because a patent gives the patent holder a monopoly on the sale and manufacture of the product for a fixed period of

time.

The BCM-95 product works as a preventive, as it targets ß-amyloid, that is seen in large quantities in people with Alzheimer‘s and is seen as one of the reasons for the

disease. BCM95 - a mixture of curcumin, the yellow colouring substance of turmeric and an

essential oil from the spice is already available in India. But it is sold as a supplement and does not make therapeutic claims.

US patent on turmeric extract

Kerala-based Arjuna Natural Extracts

Ltd, has received a patent in the United States on BCM-95, a turmeric extract formulation that could be used

to target Alzheimer‘s disease.

The product is a re-blend of two ingredients in turmeric, but in a ratio that is not seen in naturally occurring

turmeric. It is a reblend of curcuminoid and an essential oil of

turmeric.


AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE The product has been peer reviewed and is also being studied for various indications including arthritis, diabetes, depression, cancer prevention and treatment, adjutant with chemotherapy and cancer radiation, liver and gastro intestinal diseases etc.

The product has already undergone human clinical trials in patients with Alzheimer‘s

disease at Chinese University of Hong Kong and is found to be beneficial in arresting the progress of the disease. It is also undergoing two other human clinical trials in patients with Alzheimer‘s disease and subjects at risk of developing Alzheimer‘s disease

in Australia. The Department of Biotechnology in India had sanctioned around Rs.14 crore for a

clinical study of BCM95 in the treatment of mouth cancer. Arjuna Natural Extracts Ltd.,also applied for patent for the uses of amla extracts for

reducing cholesterol, pomegranate extracts for treating heart disease and extracts of Boswsellia Serrata (Indian Frankincense) for prevention of arthritis and inflammation.

Castor price behaviour After a subdued period of trading well below Rs.4,000 a quintal due to inventory

overhang, castor seed prices have begun to look up in the last two months, thanks to the improved market outlook. But prices have largely remained bound in the range between Rs. 4,600 and Rs.4,700.

Clearly, seed availability is tightening as evidenced by castor seed production trends and castor oil export over the last two years. From 22 lakh tonnes (lt) in 2011 to 2012,

seed production declined to 19.6 lt the following year and then to 16.9 lt in 2013\ to 2014.

At the same time, castor oil exports have maintained a robust pace. From 4 lt in 2011 to 2012, shipments increased to 4.3 lt the following year and then to 4.7 lt in 2013 to 2014. In the first six months of the current fiscal, castor oil exports totalled

2.4 lt. The market fundamentals clearly point to tightness in availability, which is reflected in

somewhat higher prices beneficial to farmers. India is the world‘s dominant producer of castor seed and exporter of castor oil,

enjoying as much as 80 per cent market share. The world market has seen prices as high as $2,800 a metric tonne and as low as $1,200 in recent years.

But high prices are the exception rather than the norm. India holds a near monopoly position; and yet obtains export prices that hardly reflect this near monopoly. Questions are now being raised about the prices at which export deals are signed. Are Indian

exporters throwing away a valuable industrial oil at low prices that in turn denies seed growers remunerative prices?

CANNABIS CHEMICALS SLOW DOWN CANCER

Usually, the rate of survival for such patients five years after diagnosis, is just 10%. Specialists at St George's, University of London, studied the treatment of brain cancer tumours in the laboratory and discovered that the most effective treatment was to combine active chemical components of the cannabis plant, which are called cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are the active chemicals in cannabis and are also known more specifically as phytocannabinoids. There are 85 known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. The new research is now the first to show a drastic effect when combining THC and CBD with irradiation. Tumours growing in the brains of mice were drastically slowed down when THC/CBD was used with irradiation. Dr Wai Liu, lead researcher on the project, said "The results are extremely exciting. The tumours were treated in a variety of ways, either with no treatment, the cannabinoids alone and irradiation alone or with both the cannabinoids and irradiation at the same time. Those treated with both irradiation and the cannabinoids saw the most beneficial results and a drastic reduction in size. In some cases, the tumours effectively disappeared in the animals. This augurs well for further research in humans in the future‖.

"The benefits of the cannabis plant elements were known before but the drastic reduction of brain cancers if used with irradiation is something new and may well prove promising for patients who are in gravely serious situations with such cancers in the future."

The research team are discussing the possibility of combining cannabinoids with

irradiation in a human clinical trial.

The cannabis plant is known for its medicinal properties and has been used to relieve symptoms associated with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, anorexia, anxiety, depression, and numerous other illnesses and conditions. Cannabis is a controlled substance in the UK and is most commonly known as a recreational drug.

Chemicals found in Cannabis extracts have been found to dramatically slow down the growth of notoriously difficult brain cancer tumours. Two active chemical components found in cannabis plants, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) were tested as part of research into the treatment of brain cancer tumours by British scientists.

Scientists find alternative to antibiotics

In a major breakthrough, scientists have developed the first effective alternative to antibiotics that may aid the fight against drug resistant infections.

The treatment marks "a new era in the fight against antibiotic resistant bacteria", according to Mark Offerhaus, chief executive of the biotechnology company Micreos,

which is behind the advance. The treatment attacks infections in an entirely different way from conventional

drugs and, unlike them, exclusively targets the Staphylococcus bacteria responsible for MRSA, and leaves other microbes unaffected. The approach is inspired by

naturally occurring viruses that attack bacteria using enzymes called endolysins. It uses a 'designer' endolysin, Staphefekt, which the scientists engineered to latch on to the surface of bacteria cells and tear them apart.

In a small patient trial, the drug was shown to be effective at eradicating the superbug Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

(MRSA).

Researchers said it is unlikely that the infection could develop resistance against the

new treatment, which is already available as a cream for skin infections. They hope to develop a pill or an injectable version of the

drug within five years.

GERMANY BANS DRUG MADE AT RANBAXY’S DEWAS PLANT Drugmaker Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd has been barred by from exporting the antibiotic cephalosporin to Germany from its plant in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh, for not complying with standard manufacturing practices. Germany‘s regulator issued a ―non-compliance‖ report for the plant where Ranbaxy made the antibiotic, after an inspection in June, the European Medicines Agency said on its website in a notice dated November 26. During the inspection, the regulator found deficiencies related to operation of drug manufacturing rooms and procedures related to sterilisation of equipment at the Dewas site, the notice said.

PROSPECTS FOR NUCLEAR ENERGY

Almost 200 of the 434 reactors which were operational at the end of 2013 will retire

and the respective countries would have to spend a mammoth $100 billion to decommission the plants. A vast majority of them would be in the European Union, the United States, Russia and Japan, the report said.

Also, the cumulative total of spent nuclear fuel would also double to more than 7 lakh metric tonne over the projection period.

Unfortunately, even 60 years after the first reactor started functioning, no country

has opened a permanent disposal facility to isolate the most long lived and highly radioactive waste produced by commercial reactors. All countries that have ever produced radioactive waste should have an obligation to develop a solution for

permanent disposal of the waste and regulators and utilities should ensure adequate funds are set aside to cover these future expenses, the report said.

In spite of the challenges it currently faces, nuclear power has specific characteristics that underpin the commitment of many countries to maintain it as a future option. Nuclear plants can contribute to the

reliability of the power system. For countries that import energy, it can reduce their dependence on foreign supplies and limit their exposure to

fuel price movements in international markets. Nuclear power is one of the few options available at scale to reduce

carbon-dioxide emissions, while providing or displacing other forms of base load generation. It has avoided the release of an estimated 58 giga tonnes

of CO2 since 1971, or almost two years of total global emissions at current rates.

It is estimated that global nuclear power generation will increase by 60% from 392 GW in 2013 to more than 620 GW by 2040 to meet a 37%

increase in power demand, according to the latest `World Energy Outlook‘ released by Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA).

Considering the relatively

limited experience of countries till date in dismantling and

decontaminating reactors and restoring sites for other uses,

the projected cost could be a conservative estimate.


ENERGY PAGE

New capacity additions are expected in four countries. China would account for 45% while India, Korea and Russia collectively would make up a further 30%.The

increase in China 132 GW would exceed the current installed capacity of the US and Russia combined.

The number of countries operating nuclear reactors also will increase from 31 in 2013 to 36 in 2040. Uranium resources alone are more than sufficient to provide

fuel to satisfy these projections the report said. Still, the share of nuclear power in the global power mix would remain well below

the historic peak of 18% reached in 1996. As of now, nuclear energy accounts for only 11% of the total power generation in the world.

Status of underground mining of coal in India

Once the mainstay of coal production in India; the contribution of under ground (UG) mines in total production has declined to a mere 7 per cent in the four

decades after coal nationalisation. The need to step up production, the administered pricing of fuel, coupled with the failure to bring in new underground

technologies, led Coal India Limited (CIL) to focus on the open cast mining. Between 1975 and 2014, CIL‘s UG production came down from 70 million metric

tonne to 36 million metric tonne. Including Singareni Collieries (SCCL) and a couple of captive producers, the total production is 40 million metric tonne (including

metallurgical coal used in the steel sector). The share of UG mines in India is far below the global average. UG mines contribute

20 per cent of production (over 400 million metric tonne) in Australia, nearly 40 per cent in the US (over 1,000 million metric tonne) and 86 per cent in China (over

3,500 million metric tonne). Considering Indian conditions, underground mines should contribute 25 per cent of coal production here.

The prospects for UG mines are good in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh, where the reserves are mostly under forest cover. These resources can be

extracted without disturbing the flora and fauna too much. For a country that has 10 times higher population density than the US and

2.5 times of China, India have already stretched itself a bit too far, for 500 million metric tonne open cast production.

Revenue earning opportunity should encourage CIL to take UG mining more seriously.

Free market pricing of UG coal will help the country tap huge reserves of 800

million metric tonne of high calorific value (6000-7000 GCV) coal in Assam and Meghalaya.

INSTALLED ROOFTOP SOLAR CAPACITY POTENTIAL IN INDIA

The story is different when it comes to industries. Factories have large, flat roofs which are free for use, and there is practically no issue of shadows falling on them.

Factory owning companies are also amenable to long term contracts. In states like Tamil Nadu, (which, incidentally, tops the list of rooftop installations

in the country, with 50 MW), industries are in pressing need for energy security too.

Chennai based Super Auto Forge, a Rs. 400 crore auto components manufacturer, put up a 600 kW rooftop system a year ago.

*****

Solar rooftop units should be

positioned such that no shadow falls on the panels, not just while being

erected, but also in the future. Commercial and residential establishments generally do not have

the space or prefer not to freeze the space available for solar plants.

SunEdison and Azure Power won a mandate in Gujarat to put up 2.5 MW

each of solar power plants on rooftops in the city of Gandhinagar.

The companies had to lease residential rooftops, put up solar plants and sell the power to the state

utility. SunEdison found that people were not willing to give up their

space for long number of years, though they were willing to consider signing for fewer years, say, five

years.

India‘s rooftop solar market potential is at a staggering 100,000 MW, but

puts installed capacity at just 285 MW, a minuscule number compared to the potential.

The India focused report comes from the German-headquartered solar consultancy, Bridge-to-India. The consultancy‘s Founder and Director,

Tobias Engelmeier, estimates that India will have 1,500 MW of rooftop solar power by 2018, though many experts doubt this.

PROPOSED SOLAR PARK IN INDIA

The Union ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE) has identified locations for 12 of the 25 solar parks ,which the government plans to set up to increase solar power generation in the country

A solar park is a concentrated zone where in the government will provide land and

basic infrastructure for setting up the plant as well as evacuation of power.

Andhra Pradesh has proposed to have a 2,500 mw park, Telangana 1,000 mw, Madhya Pradesh is keen to have two parks of 750 mw each, Karnataka a 750-mw

park, Rajasthan has identified land to set up projects as big as 4,000 to 5,000 mw and Odisha and Punjab to have around 3,000 mw each.

India already has two solar parks, with one each in Gujarat and Rajasthan as models for the parks to be constructed as part of the scheme. The new parks

would be based on a similar model. The solar parks will be developed in collaboration with state governments. Solar

Energy Corporation of India will be the implementation agency on behalf of the Centre.

Developers, on the otherhand, will have to enter into power purchase agreements

with distribution companies before setting up the plant. At present, the country generates 3,000 mw through solar power plants.

As part of its plan to increase solar power generation in the

country to 100,000 mw by 2022, the government aims to

set up 25 solar parks with a total capacity of around

20,000 mw in the next five years.

Each park will house a plant with a capacity ranging from

500 mw to 1,000 mw. The locations are in Adhra

Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh,Karnataka, Rajasthan,

Odisha and Punjab.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO MONTREAL PROTOCOL ON HFC

Marking a significant change in position, India maintained silence on the issue of amending the Montreal Protocol to bring greenhouse gas hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) under it, at the 10th Joint Meeting of the Parties to the Vienna Convention and the 26th

Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Even as West Asian oil producing countries, led by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, expressed

reservations against the proposed amendment and asked for the deletion of this agenda, India did not join the opposing voices.

Last year, India had led these nations in protesting such an amendment to UNs Montreal Protocol, which is an international agreement on phasing out of ozone depleting substances.

India and USA have entered into an agreement for cleaner energy under which the US would give India $1 billion to finance renewable energy and research. This deal,

however, came bundled with a promise of dialogue on HFCs at the Montreal Protocol talks.

This change in stance could have a huge effect on India's refrigeration and coolant industry, which includes airconditioners, and is estimated at over Rs. 15,000 crore. If HFCs were brought under the Montreal Protocol, compulsory transitions from the

current use of HFCs to the new, proprietary gases are likely to create a monopoly for the patent holders.

As the debate is still on, a breakthrough on the issue of HFCs is highly unlikely as oil producing gulf countries participating in a key UN conference here continued their

strong opposition to the U.S. led nations‘ proposal to amend the Montreal Protocol to phase down the harmful greenhouse gas.They said that the issue should be discussed under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Montreal Protocol is a UN treaty signed in 1987 to ban ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochloroflurocarbons (HFCFs) which were used in refrigerators and air conditioners.

HFCs were brought into replace the ozone-depleting substances but it was proved later that the ozone friendly gas has a potent warming effect.

During the past six conferences, it was India which had led the Gulf States to block the use of the Montreal Protocol to phase out HFCs.

The change in Indian stand comes in the wake of a joint Indo-US statement on HFCs this year under which both the nations had agreed to discuss the harmful

greenhouse gas under the Montreal Protocol. The Gulf countries argued that there were no alternatives to HFCs.


ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE

Sensing that evolving a consensus on setting up of a contact group is not easy, the U.S. proposed to setting up of an informal group to discuss the mandate of the contact group and not to discuss the amendment proposal.

China said that the Montreal Protocol has a role to play and everyone should work on consensus.

***** Norms for online effluents monitoring

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has issued guidelines for installation and operation of real time effluent quality monitoring system by fertiliser plants and 16 other categories of industries considered as ―highly polluting.‖

Apart from these specified industries, the grossly polluting industries discharging directly/indirectly into river Ganga or its tributraies, Common Effluent Treatment Plants

(CETPs) and Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs), Common Biomedical Waste and Common Hazardous Waste Incinerators have to install real time effluent quality monitoring systems. According to the guidelines dated 7th November 2014, the

installation of the system has to be completed by 31st March 2015.

―Online analysers are a better tool to extend in time information on compliance of ETP and CETP to the prescribed norms to regulator. The real time measurement for important parameters will give detailed information continuously, which laboratory

instruments fail to give as random once in a month or quarter information is too less to understand discharge compliance,‖ the notice said.

e-waste recycling efforts in India Karnataka government tied up with the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology

(C-MET) and e-waste recycler e-Parisaraa to set up a 100-metric tonne per annum integrated processing plant for recovering precious metals from electronic goods like printed circuit boards.

According to a study by the electronic hardware industry apex body Manufacturers Association of Information Technology (MAIT), around 500,000 metric tonne of e-waste

is generated across India every year, thanks to growing consumption and disposal of electronic products and consumer durables.

Though an additional 100,000 metric tonne of e-waste enters the country through illegal imports annually, only 40 percent of it gets recycled due to inadequate and poor infrastructure which is mostly in the informal sector.

The Hyderabad based C-MET is an autonomous scientific society, formed by the central government under the Department of Electronics and IT (DeitY), to assist states in

setting up e-waste processing units in the country. *****

TARGET TO CUT CO2 EMISSIONS

The UNEP report published is based on the idea that the planet has a finite ‗carbon budget‘. Since emissions surged in the late 19th century, some 1,900 Gigatonnes (Gt) of CO2 and 1,000 Gt of other greenhouse gases have already been emitted, leaving less than 1,000 Gt of CO2 left to emit before locking the planet in to dangerous temperature rises of more than 2 degree C above pre industrial levels. All scenarios in the UNEP report now require some degree of ‗negative CO2 emissions‘ in the second half of the century, through technologies such as carbon capture and storage or, possibly, controversial, planetary wide engineering of the climate known as geo engineering. UNEP is ―extremely interested‖ in the subject and is planning a report in the months ahead.Consideration should also be given to compensatory schemes for investors in fossil fuels companies to address the ‗stranded assets‘ issue. The EU has not, however, supported UNEP‘s call for zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2100 .

*****

The world must cut CO2 emissions to zero by 2070 at the latest to keep global warming below dangerous levels and prevent a global catastrophe, the U.N. warns. By 2100, all greenhouse gas emissions — including methane, nitrous oxide and ozone, as well as CO2 — must fall to zero, the United Nationals Environment Programme (UNEP) report says or the world will face what Inter governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scientists have described as ―severe, widespread and irreversible‖ effects from climate change.

TECHNOLOGY TO REDUCE EFFLUENTS IN LEATHER INDUSTRY Scientists at Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI )have developed a technology in leather processing that may put an end to the pollution caused by effluents discharged from tanneries. The dry tanning technology uses a biodegradable compound instead of water. Along with the compound, which was developed in the CLRI lab, a tanning agent (chromium sulphate) is used. The process leaves no effluents as both the compound and the tanning agent are absorbed by the leather. Scientists claim the new technology saves about 40 per cent of the processing time, and the amount of tanning agent required is half of what is used in the conventional process. At present, tanneries in the country use about 15 million litres of water everyday (five to eight litres for a kilo of skin) during the tanning process. Besides, up to 100g of chromium sulphate per kg of skin is used along with water. This apart, a large amount of salt and acid are used in pickling, a conditioning process prior to tanning. The salt, water, unutilized acid and tanning agent are later discharged as effluents. For every kg of leather, roughly 40 litres of effluent is produced. The tannery effluent, with its high level of salinity, has been a major pollutant of groundwater. The new technology not only does away with the use of water, but also with the pickling process.About 2,300 tonnes of skin are processed in tanneries in the country every day and about 230 tonnes of salt is used during the conditioning process

PRICE DETAILS

KOGAS in South Korea has been diverting some of its long term contractual obligations. Similarly, utility buyers in Japan are well balanced now. The demand from Taiwan and China, too, has been relatively slow. This has disturbed the supplydemand balance. Recent spot LNG contracts were struck at prices as low as $10.5 per mmbtu, nearly 45% down from year ago period and 25% down from those struck in October 2014. These contracts are for delivery after two months; hence, contracts in November related to deliveries in January 2015. There are indications the trend will continue well in future.

*****

LNG price in Asia The Spot LNG prices have crashed in Asia late and is expected to fall further notwithstanding the onset of winter, which traditionally drives prices higher. The drop in LNG prices is not just an outcome of drop in oil prices, but also a strategic shift in the demand-supply balance and augurs well for Indian consumers.
