India, UK, and China Collaborate to Develop Superhydrophobic Activated Carbon Catalyst for Cost-Effective Biodiesel Production
  • India, China, and the UK collaborated to develop a superhydrophobic activated carbon catalyst derived from biomass, aimed at reducing biodiesel production costs.
  • The new catalyst significantly lowers biodiesel production costs to around 37 cents per litre, down from the previous ₹100 per litre, making biodiesel more affordable and sustainable.
  • This advancement marks a major step in making sustainable energy solutions more economically viable and accessible, potentially influencing global renewable energy adoption efforts.
