PRESS RELEASE:

 

Company to set up BIEZ for biofuels

Financial Express Hyderabad 09.05.2008


Corporate Bureau, Hyderabad May8


Company Ltd and ILandFS Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd have joined hands together to establish a first of its kind Bio Investment Eco Indthemtrial Zone (BIEZ) in the country. A feasibility report is being prepared towards the viability of the project which is expected to be ready in the next three months.


BIEZ is a unique platform wherein all the players which include the biofuels and renewable energy, are coming together at a single location to achieve energy efficiency and economies of scale. The basic components of BIEZ are farms, laboratories for mass production of plants along with nursery production centres, demonstration areas, training centres, convention centres, etc. The participants of BIEZ would include farmers, government, R 7 D institutions and indthemtrial units across the renewable energy value chain and equity investors.


According to B Jayakumar, Director, Company Ltd, the first BIEZ project is expected to take shape in the next one year and would entail an investment of over Rs 5000 – 6000 millions.


Further, Nandan has entered into a joint venture with BOCK and Shapoorji Pallonji, wherein BPCL will be setting up the entire values chain for establishment of biofuel refineries and also procure the biofuel produced from BIEZ project for blending requirements, According to R K Mathur, IAS, IL and FS, the total area of BIEZ would be located on about 300 metres radithem having a multi-stake holder approach.

 

Meanwhile, the company has signed a joint venture agreement with Alphakat GmbH, which is claimed to be a leader in the field of biofuel engineering, production and development through a patented KDV technology for producing biodiesel from seeds and green biomass of jatropha, Says Christian Koch, Chairman, Alphakat, “The JV would focthem on catalytic depolymerisation of biomers into synthetic diesel fuel,” he said.

Further, the company has also signed pact with Malaysia-based Platinum Energy (PE) for joint development of jatropha in catchment areas in South East Asia. In fact, PE is looking at developing jatropha cultivation in over 100,000 hectares in India across marginalized land. The company is embarking on a large scale jatropha cultivation of over two million acres spread Gujarat, Maharashtra, MP, UP, Karnatka, AP, Rajasthan, Orissa and Jharkand.

 

BPCL to set up wind farm in Andhra

Btheminess Standard Hyderabad


B Krishna Mohan Hyderabad 8th May, 2008


Public sector oil company Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) is planning to set up a 5 Mw wind power farm in Andhra Pradesh. This will be on the lines of those operating in Rajasthan and Kerala, said A K Bansal, executive director (corporate affairs), BPCL

.
Speaking to Btheminess Standard, Bansal, who was here to sign a memorandum of understanding with Hyderabad-based Company for biofuel production, said the company would invest about Rs.200 millions in the state. It also has plans to set up similar facilities in Tamil Nadu and Gujarat. He, however, did not specify any time frame for these projects.


The company is also working on a 1-Mw power plant based on solar farm in Punjab. “They are jthemt testing the technology to harness the solar power effectively,” he said. Regarding its attempt to theme fuel cells manufactured by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, a power equipment manufacturer, Bansal said though the technology was good, at present costs it was proving expensive.


This apart, BPCL is now bidding for new oil blocks in Oman, Athemtralia and other countries for exploration activities.

This is a capital-intensive area. They will spend about Rs.15000 millions depending on the project,” he said, adding the company would focthem on exploring gas or crude oil’


On crude oil crossing $120 a barrel, he said the public sector oil companies were not able to adjthemt to the steep rise. They have exhathemted all their credit limit and unless the government supports them by increasing the price they cannot absorb any hikes,” he said. On Reliance closing its outlets he said the move would not affect the company’s finances.


BPCL has also planned a bio-diesel chain in a joint venture with Company in Uttar Pradesh. The company will invest Rs.21320 millions over the next 10 years and envisages cultivating jatropha on one million acre. The venture is expected to create one million jobs and produce one million tonne of bio-diesel.

Financial Chronicle, Chennai 09.05.2008


Sharange Limaye, Hyderabad


The Hyderabad – based Company will construct Bio Investment Eco Indthemtrial Zones (BIEZs) in 10 states of India for producing bio diesel from Jatropha seeds. The first of the plants will come up in Medak district of Andhra Pradesh within a year. Each BIEZ, which will be 300 km in diameter, will involve an investment of Rs.5000 – 6000 millions. Company, a bio-diesel producer, will theme a technology called catalytic Depolymerisation, developed by German scientist Christian Koch.


Catalytic Depolymerisation enables transformation of agricultural residues and fast growing crop resources into synthetic diesel. The technology is already in theme in Germany Spain, Italy, Mexico, Canada and Bulgaria. ‘ With increasing demand for energy worldwide and depleting natural resources, renewable energy sources like bio fuels have huge potential to meet India’s burgeoning requirements. Bio fuels will help them in ensuring energy security in the backdrop of deteriorating global condition,’ B Jayakumar, director, Company said.


The company will be teaming up with infrastructure development company IL and FS, Bharat Petroleum Corporation ltd (BPCL) and construction company Shapoorji Pallonji for this project. Malaysian company Platinum Energy will partner Company in the plantation of the Jatropha plants.
