Name of the project : BioSynth
Objective of the Program:
To install a production plant of Biodiesel in campus with capacity of 200 litre/batch
Location: IIT-Bombay
Highlights:
- Project Biosynthis a first ever student’s initiative of installing a self-sustained biodiesel producing plant at an institute level in India.
- The project’s long term vision is to come up with an efficient technology that can substantially reduce pollution and country’s dependence on imported fuels.
- We entail utilizing waste vegetable oil as its raw material to produce an environment friendly fuel, Biodiesel.
- The biodiesel produced will be utilized to run institute vehicles like buses, cars, and ambulance in the initial stages.

Name of the project : ” A Novel low speed wind turbine for rural electrification in INDIA”
The objectives of the project are:
- Electrification to un-electrified villages in INDIA
- Decrease in carbon foot print
- reduction in the gap b/w power demand and consumption
Location: NITTTR Chandigarh
[ Under the supervision of Dr. S. Chatterji (Professor and Head, NITTTR Chandigarh, EE department) and Dr. S. Chandel (Professor, NIT Hamirpur, Center of Energy and Environment)]
Highlights:
- It will help in the reduction of the carbon footprint
- A new concentrator called AshVer is designed which is far better than the proposed concentrator available and the power output will be increased so that we will be able to produce electricity from the wind in those areas where wind speed is low.
