TALK OF THE MONTH

GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

SHOULD INCREASE SEVERAL FOLD

It is not hard to prove that capacity creation in chemical industry have fallen way behind. This is clearly

evident from the increasing import trend of several chemicals in India due to want of adequate capacity

build up in the country, with India becoming net importer of number of chemicals.

A few examples of import trend

EPDM rubber 28391 29231 28373 30346 33348 4.1

The above figures indicate that import has been steadily increasing, with no immediate prospects of

domestic capacity build up for such chemicals.

The above figures indicate that production is decreasing and import is increasing for several chemicals.

It is a matter of high concern that the investment in chemical projects by way of setting up new

projects or expansion of existing ones have slowed down in recent years.

The above figures indicate that India has totally stopped production of number of chemicals which it was

producing earlier and has now resorted to import the entire requirement of the country.

Delayed projects

While a few projects such as IOC‘s Paradip Refinery in Odisha, Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL).‘s petrochemical complex in Assam have been commissioned after prolonged delay, large project of Nagarjuna Oil Corporation Ltd ., in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, which is a petro chemical complex under

implementation, has been delayed by several years and one is not sure even today as to when it would be commissioned. There are projects like Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd. in West Bengal and its

commissioning has been delayed due to uncertainty in the availability of coal bed methane for the project.

Slow down in small scale sector

A few decades back, small scale chemical industries had significant presence in the Indian chemical industry,

but this is no more so, as several small scale chemical industries have folded up due to variety of reasons.

Growth of small scale chemical industry can be facilitated, in the event of medium and large scale chemical

projects being set up. In such case, many opportunities would arise for investment in small scale chemical industries for manufacturing and supplying auxiliary chemicals etc. to medium and large scale units . In the

event of the capacity in large and medium scale projects not being stepped up, the prospects for investment in small scale sector would inevitably suffer.

Project promoters remain confused

Obviously, the chemical project promoters remain confused about taking investment decisions.

This sorry state, may be partly due to the liberal import policy of Government of India in view of WTO compulsions and lack of confidence amongst most segment of Indian chemical industry to compete with

imported product even in the domestic market. Constraints in technology front and lack of conducive climate for setting up chemical manufacturing units have also shaken the confidence of the project promoters and curtailed their enthusiasm.

Slow down in setting up new small and medium scale chemical

projects cause even more concern, as nothing much appear to be happening. The reason for the drop in investment in small and

medium scale chemical projects can not be due to want of resources or investment capability, as there appear to be lot of

money in circulation in the country.

.

PROBLEMS FACED BY SSI


GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY SHOULD INCREASE SEVERAL FOLD

Non availability of suitable land for the projects, problems in land acquisition due to protest from local

groups and whipping up agitation by the vested interests, prolonged time taken for providing

environmental clearance, obstacles posed by environmental activists and impediments created by trade

union and local politicians in smooth running of the projects, apart from the red tapism and corruption

in government machinery, have made the project promoters to become hesitant in venturing into

projects.

Pro active approach and dynamic leadership needed from state governments

There is no doubt that Government of India is trying to remove the bottlenecks at the central

government level, but the state governments also need to play their role well.

What is required is pro active policies and progressive environment that should be facilitated by the

central and state governments, to ensure smooth path way for the growth of the chemical and allied

industries.

Government investment necessary

When private project promoters are not coming forward to set up chemical projects, both central and

state governments should necessarily come forward to invest in chemical projects in a big way.

This would help in building confidence amongst the project promoters in private sector and they would

then respond.

The government‘s initiative to step up investment in chemical projects on its own or as joint venture

with private sector will help in dispelling the misgivings of the project promoters in private sector.

Such approach of the governments created huge enthusiasm amongst project promoters in the earlier

days, since the massive capacity creation by the government owned projects improved the demand for

several related activities leading to all round growth, Joint venture projects are viewed favourably by

the private sector, as they have the backing of the government.

In the present time, where we find project promoters are listless and unsure, there is no alternative

other than governments taking the initiatives and venturing into chemical projects on their own.

Project investment task should not be left to private sector alone

Obviously, private promoters have failed to meet the expectations and need of the country. They seem

to be more comfortable to invest in service sectors or financial sector rather than manufacturing sector.

This counter productive scenario have to be overcome, which is possible only by the governments

leading from the front and investing in chemical projects, as it was done in the earlier period upto 1980s.

After independence upto the period 1980s, central and state

governments invested in many chemical projects entirely on

their own or as joint ventures with private promoters.

Only due to such policies and approach that the massive

government owned chemical projects such as Rashtriya

Chemicals and Fertilisers, Indian Petrochemical Corporation

(Now taken over by Reliance Industries), GSFC and several

others have come up, which have done lot of good to the

growth of Indian chemical industries


NATIONAL BUDGET THAT GIVES HOPE

Agriculture / fertiliser sector

The budget has outlined three key initiatives for fertiliser industry.

First, the long wait for direct subsidy transfer to the farmer seems to be over. After testing the Direct

Benefit Transfer (DBT) model for LPG subsidy, the government has now proposed to do DBT pilot for

fertiliser subsidy. The pilot will be done in a few districts across the country. This, once implemented

commercially, will not only improve the quality of service delivery to farmers, but will also benefit

fertiliser companies by way of cutting out the role of the government and improving their working

capital cycle.

Third, excise duty on micronutrients which are used in addition to chemical fertilisers has been reduced

from 12.5 percent to 6 percent. Likewise, physical mixture of fertilisers which are made using chemical

fertilisers will no longer attract excise duty.

The plan to bring 28.5 lakh hectares of land under the ‗Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana and

dedicated irrigation fund are laudable steps.

The union budget submitted in Parliament on 29th February,2016 has been generally welcomed by

cross section of the countrymen.

Remarkable feature of the budget is that it has recognized that the growth of the agricultural

sector and rural economy are as important as growth of industrial sector/services sector and

urban economy.

The fact is that the growth of the agricultural sector and industrial /services sector are

complimentary and should support each other.

The repeated incidents of farmer‘s suicides and news about agrarian crisis have disturbed the

conscience of the country. Therefore, it is only appropriate and timely that the budget is focused

on agricultural sector and rural economy in a significant way.

What is particularly interesting is that the focus on the agricultural sector and rural economy in

the budget has been done in such a manner that industrial / services sector would be benefitted by

the growth of the agricultural sector and rural economy. In short, this is a win win situation for all

sectors in the country.

Highlights of the budget are briefly given below, which reflects the stress on the complementary

role of industrial / services sector and agricultural sector for the overall growth of the national

economy.

Second, an allocation of Rs.368 crore has been made in the budget for

National Project on Soil Health and Fertility. This scheme will enable

farmers to obtain information about soil nutrient level. Government of India

targets to cover all 140 million farm holdings across the country by

March 2017.

2,000 model retail outlets of fertiliser companies will be provided with soil

and seed testing facilities during the next three years.



A policy for conversion of city waste into compost has also been approved by the government under

the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.

The fertiliser companies will also co-market city compost, which increases the efficacy of chemical

fertiliser.

e-Commerce

United Agricultural Marketing ePlatform proposed in the budget, which aims to connect 585 agri mandis

by March 2018 and will allow farmers to sell their produce ,at any mandi of their choice is an innovative

step.This will help the farmers in realising fair and market determined prices for their produce ,thereby

improving their incomes and avoiding economic distress conditions for the farmers to a significant

extent

Scheme for small entrepreneur / ‗startup in India‘

Amendment in Companies Act has been proposed to create a more enabling environment for startups

— registration of company in one day.

Full tax exemption for first three years for startups has been proposed during April 2016 to March 2019

.

Agribiotech research

The budget proposal could have extended additional

support for agri-biotech research by public or private

institutions for augmenting the agriculture sector.

Oil & gas sector

The budget seeks to incentivise gas production in difficult

terrains by providing calibrated marketing freedom.

The budget proposes to cut the cess for domestically

produced crude oil. So, from a fixed Rs.4,500 a metric

tonne which translated to about $9 a barrel, the cess

calculation has been changed to 20 percent on ad valorem

basis.At current prices, the cess will reduce to about $6 a

barrel.

Renewable energy sector

Budget has made an allocation of Rs.5,036 crore to the

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy including

Rs.262 crore by way of ‗gross budgetary support‘ and

another Rs.4,200 crore for the National Clean Energy

Fund.

Basic Customs duty on industrial solar water heaters has

been raised to 10 per cent, to help domestic

manufacturers. Customs duty on glass used in manufacture

of solar panels has been raised to 5 percent.



New manufacturing companies incorporated on or after March 1,

2016 can be taxed at 25 percent, plus surcharge and cess, provided

they do not claim profit-linked or investment-linked deductions and

do not get investment allowance and accelerated depreciation.

Lowering of corporate tax has been proposed for small enterprises

(turnover below Rs.5 crore) to 29 percent plus surcharge and cess.

Budget 2016: Start ups to get 100% deduction of taxes on profits for 3 years

Start ups to get 100% deduction of taxes on profits for 3 yearsBudget 2016: Start-ups to get 100% deduction of taxes on profits for 3 years

Budget 2016: Start-ups to get

taxes on profits

for 3 years

Research and development sector

Budget 2016 proposed a special patent regime with 10 percent tax on

income from the worldwide exploitation of patents developed and

registered in India. Companies selling their locally researched products

in export markets would otherwise have paid the regular tax of

30 percent.

The benefit of deductions for research would be limited to

150 percent from April 1, 2017 and 100 percent from April 1, 2020,

which is justifiable.

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

Nandini Consultancy Centre, a firm of chemical engineers and chemical business consultants based at Chennai and Singapore, has released well researched report on “Crude oil price fall - Will India’s euphoria continue ? “ Focus of the report Global crude oil price fall in recent months has surprised even the discerning observers. Now, there is world wide debate as to what has caused the crude price fall and whether the price fall would persist and how long.

NAGARJUNA REFINERY PROJECT

– IS IT’S FUTURE UNCERTAIN ?

Investors in the project

* Nagarjuna Oil Refinery

* Tata Sons

* Tata Petrodyne

* The Cuddalore Port Co

* Singapore based Trafigura

* ThyssenKrupp, Germany

* TIDCO

In September,2015, the Tamil Nadu government extended a structured package of incentives, including

VAT refund, apart from concessions and subsidies.

Product range

Products which will be produced from 6 million metric tonne per annum refinery at Cuddalore :

Products Kilo metric tonne per annum

LPG 721

Naphtha 72

Euro-IV Regular Gaso 1012

ATF 784

Diesel 2320

Bitumen 70

High S Fuel Oil 127

Coke 365

Sulphur 100

Nagarjuna Oil Corporation is in the process of setting up 6-million metric tonne a year

petroleum refinery in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.

The refinery located at about 100 km south of Chennai on the east coast, is touted as the largest

private sector investment in Tamil Nadu. Process plant works of this project commenced in

July,2008.

The project has been designated as the Anchor unit of the proposed Petroleum, Chemicals and

Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR) in Cuddalore/Nagapattinam Districts.

The project was to have been commissioned in 2002 at cost of Rs.3,500 crore, but continuous

delays and cost over-run have contributed to the project cost mounting to Rs.12,500 crore, with

date of completion of the project still uncertain.


NAGARJUNA REFINERY PROJECT – IS IT’S FUTURE UNCERTAIN ?

Apart from the above, the company has the potential for the following streams, which can also be

produced from the existing facilities with marginal investment :

Products Kilo metric tonne per annum

Propylene 180

Ethylene 33

Iso butylenes 45

Cis/Trans butylenes 81

Total 339

The refinery project will have the flexibility to process different type of crude and produce multiple

trade quality products. The major products include propylene, ethylene, LPG, motor gasoline, kerosene,

diesel, fuel oil and bitumen, pet coke.

It will produce Euro IV and Euro V auto fuels, LPG and bitumen.

Agreement

The company had tied up with British energy company BP for sourcing crude oil that would be

processed at the refinery.

BP would also be responsible for export of 25 percent of fuel produced at the unit. The remaining

product will be sold domestically.

The company signed agreement with Indian Oil Corporation for selling four million metric tonne of

products.

Infrastructure

Located 200 km South of Chennai on the East Coast, the refinery will have associated marine

infrastructure including single point mooring (for crude oil handling in large crude carriers) and jetty

(for finished product handling). It will have high complexity factor designed to take advantage of

processing heavy and sour crude oil.

The project site is spread around 2000 acres, which includes 300 acres of green belt.

Additional investment of over Rs 2,500 crore are being made in infrastructure facilities such as a captive

port, tankages and power plants by Nagarjuna Oil's associate companies.

Is the future uncertain ?

Nagarjuna Oil Refinery, which holds a 47 percent stake in NOC, had announced in September,2015 that

Netoil was carrying out a confirmatory due diligence ahead of acquiring the stake.

Apart from Nagarjuna‘s stake, Netoil was to have bought out the stakes of other significant investors in

the project, including that of Tata Group, Trafigura and Cuddalore Port Company and ThyssenKrupp

Germany.


NAGARJUNA REFINERY PROJECT – IS IT’S FUTURE UNCERTAIN ?

However, the acquisition of Nagarjuna Oil Corporation by Netoil (Singapore) has now fallen through,

with the holding company Nagarjuna Oil Refinery deciding not to follow up on the proposal.

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and one West Asian investor are now reported to be showing

interest in investing in Nagarjuan Refinery.

This major project, whose project cost escalated considerably due to heavy delay, appear to be facing

uncertain and anxious moment.

PROPOSAL FOR MEGA REFINERY PROJECT IN INDIA

– IS IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ?

Proposed project is appropriate

The important point is that the refiners in public sector in India are handicapped, as major part of their

refining capacity resides in refineries that are decades old.

These refineries are configured to handle only the superior varieties of crude and their product slates

are not designed to meet current demand pattern.

When commissioned and operating at full tilt, the refinery will increase India‘s oil import by over

40 percent from current levels. Currently, India imports about 2.8 million barrels of crude oil a day .

Petroleum products consumption has been growing at close to double digits in recent months. Petrol

consumption, for instance, has grown at a runaway pace of 14.2 percent in the April-December 2015

period.

Though refining capacity and consumption are now well balanced, the oil refineries need to look at

meeting the demand of an economy that is set to grow at close to double digits over the next five years

and more.

India has total refining capacity of about 230 million metric tonne, with about 80 million metric

tonne capacity is owned by the private sector. Indian Oil Corp is the largest refiner in India

with total installed capacity of about 80 million metric tonne per annum.

Reliance Industries built two massive refineries of 33 million metric tonne and 27 million

metric tonne capacity each, neighbouring each other, in Jamnagar last decade. Not to speak,

of course, of its petrochemicals complexes in Hazira and Jamnagar, which boast world scale

capacities and world class technology.

Government of India now proposes to set up a 60 million metric tonne capacity refinery on

the west coast.

This will be the largest single grassroots refinery ever built in India.

In the public sector, the largest one ever built is Indian Oil‘s recently commissioned Paradip

refinery, which, at 15 million metric tonne, is a fourth of the proposed new refinery‘s size.

Is the Government of India‘s proposal to build mega refinery too good to be true ?

Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum are saddled with old

refineries in Mumbai, which can neither be modernised nor

expanded, as the city has now expanded beyond their doorsteps.

A state of the art mega refinery can address such issues.

It is, therefore, necessary that the proposed mega refinery project

should be planned meticulously and implemented within reasonable

time-frame. Will it happen ?


PROPOSAL FOR MEGA REFINERY PROJECT IN INDIA – IS IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ?

The idea of a mega refinery that is proposed to go on stream in the next five years is appropriate plan.

But implementing the project will not be easy.

The challenges range from funding to product evacuation to land acquisition and handling environmental

issues.

Proposed investors

Indian Oil Corp (IOCL) may take 40% stake in the country's proposed largest refinery project, while

two other state refiners—Bharat Petroleum ( BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum ( HPCL) — may own

20% each.

Engineers India (EIL) will have 5% stake and the balance may be split between the financial institutions

and the state of Maharashtra.

State run EIL, which has been appointed as the consultant for the project, may get equity in lieu of

consultancy fee.

Capacity

The capacity of the proposed refinery is 60 million metric tonne per annum.

The project will be developed in two phases, with 40 million metric tonne capacity being completed in

the first.

Since refining is a low margin business, the refinery complex will have a petrochemical plant, especially

since the demand for petrochemical has been rapidly rising.

Land requirement

The Maharashtra government has promised to identify and acquire land quickly for the project and offer

it for free.

The government would need to find about 15,000 acres of land to build the refinery, which is large

parcel by any standards.

Product evacuation

Strategies for product evacuation are crucial given the size of the refinery. Trucking out petrol or diesel

will not be a viable option. The problem is that the proposed location is not close to major product

pipelines, which are the best way to move products in large volumes.

The other option is to ship out the products to other domestic ports but again, there is no port in the

vicinity of the proposed refinery that can handle the volumes that this project will generate. The oil

companies need to, therefore, build pipelines, especially to the South, which is under served in terms of

refining capacity at present.


PROPOSAL FOR MEGA REFINERY PROJECT IN INDIA – IS IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ?

Investment

The proposed outlay in the mega refinery could be of the order of Rs.1,50,000 crore for the refinery

alone. The investment would only increase if pipelines and terminals are taken into account.

The biggest refinery any state firm has ever built in the country is of 15 million metric tonne.

Environmental approvals

After funding, the biggest hurdle to cross would be environmental approvals.

Meeting the requirement of clean water for the refinery and handling the effluent discharge will be

massive tasks and it would be naïve to assume that securing environmental approvals would be easy,

given the proposed location in the Western Ghats region.

ETHANOL FROM ALTERNATE FEED STOCK

Dr.D.M.Mohunta, [email protected]

Improved yield and demand for ethanol does not necessarily have to be met via additional

acreage under sugarcane. Some of it can come from sources other than molasses, such as

cellulosic ethanol, made from bagasse or sugarcane tops and some can come from improved

farming practices or planting higher yielding varieties of cane.

What about rotten grain stocks that are unfit for human consumption ? .

Vivergo will also produce 500,000 metric tonne a year of protein-rich animal feed for the UK

market

India produce about 92 million metric

tonne per year of wheat. India stands out

for its glaring lack of infrastructure and

food storage facilities. A new study says

21 million metric tonne of wheat --

equivalent to the entire production of

Australia -- goes waste in the country.

A plant is operational in UK since many

years that utilizes 1.1 million metric

tonne of unfit grain to produce ethanol.

The Vivergo plant, a joint venture

between AB Sugar, BP, and DuPont, will

produce 420 million litres of bioethanol a

year at full capacity, equivalent to a third

of the UK‘s current demand.


GAS DISCOVERY IN MUMBAI HIGH

The gas discovery was made in the first exploratory well of the Block MB-OSN-2005/3 in the Mumbai

Offshore Basin, which the consortium bid for, as part of New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) VII.

ONGC has 70 per cent participating interest in

the block, while Essar holds the remaining

30 percent with production sharing contract

with the government of India.

ONGC is the operator of the field, while Essar

mapped the target field.

It may be premature to comment on the total

resources in this well ahead of the appraisal, but

it is estimated to be in the 350-500 bcf (billion

cubic feet) range.

After the technical engagement with the DGH,

the consortium will conduct a final appraisal of

the discovery, after which the reservoir will be

delineated and commercialised. The whole

process could take minimum of 18 to24 months.

The discovery is significant geologically because it

is the first on the west coast in the Pliocene

formation, a shallower shelf at depth of about a

kilometre below sea level.

This opens a new cheaper petroleum system, as

one can develop the discovery quite cost-

effectively.

The Mumbai High reserves are typically at a

depth of 2,000 to 2,500 m. Developing an

offshore well costs $25-50 million, spanning

shallow to deep water resources. At 1,000 m,

the well cost could be as low as $5 million.

It just needs simple assembly line operations to

be made commercial.

A consortium of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation and an arm of Essar Energy have struck natural

gas in the Mumbai High fields, an ageing reservoir in the Arabian Sea.

The consortium of ONGC and Essar Exploration and Production Ltd (Mauritius) is reported to

have filed details of the discovery with the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH).

The Mumbai High fields have been flagging over the past decade, with ONGC undertaking several

drilling campaigns here to revive the reservoir.


WAY TO SOLVE NATURAL GAS PIPELINE ISSUE IN TAMIL NADU?

Points for consideration

1. The farmer‘s association recognizes the benefits of natural gas for industry, transportation and

domestic use.

2. It should be recognized that the type of agriculture practiced in the under dispute is different

from the usual cereal crops.

3. As per the farmer‘s view, soil depth of 8 to10 ft is required for quality cultivation of crops,

appropriate for the region.

4. Recognizing this, GAIL should lay the pipeline with a soil cover of 3 meters.

5. If GAIL insists on only 5 feet soil cover, then there should be adequate compensation to the

farmers, for loss of income.

6. The compensation is not for the property.

7. Right of way and right to use does not imply that a person‘s means of income is rendered

infructuous.

8. The principles of compensation should be enunciated say 15 to 20 times the loss of income.

9. This is based on the fact that fixed deposit in banks give approx. 8% and to this is to be added

10% towards inflation that is 8.8%.

10. The pipeline route should be clearly mapped and exhibited in the public domain based on

satellite imagery of 1 meter resolution.

11. The pipeline should have ab-initio spur line connection points, that will take care of natural gas

supply to say a minimum of 2000 households or small industrial clusters

12. The distribution of gas from the trunk line can be by Gail, Gail-PPP, or GAIL- State-PPP.

13. As far as I know, the rights of farmers to cultivate the land is not affected. There is disruption

during laying of pipeline or at later date for repairs.

Somebody should take a delegation of the affected farmers to Gujarat to see the reality.

Gujarat has extensive gas pipeline system for imported gas and also from producing wells.

With reference to the article on ―Way to solve natural gas pipeline issue in Tamil Nadu‖

(Nandini Chemical Journal, February,2016 issue) , Dr.D.M.Mohunta, senior chemical technologist

([email protected]), has made the following observations

PROSPECTS FOR CRYOGENIC FREEZING TECHNOLOGY

IN INDIA

Advantages of cryogenic freezing in food processing industry

The freezing of food materials is more complex than the freezing of pure water.

All food materials contain solutes such as carbohydrates, salts, colorants and other compounds which

affect their freezing behaviour. Most food products contain animal and/or vegetable cells forming

biological tissues.

Rapid freezing using cryogenic technology promotes a large number of small ice crystals distributed

uniformly throughout the tissue, both inside and outside the cells .Hence, products frozen with

cryogenic technologies show a matrix of small ice crystals and a better texture than products frozen,

using slower heat transfer processes.

Cryogenic technology not only offers the quick freezing but also the following advantages

* Less energy requirement and less cost per unit of food shipped

* Good retention of original quality attributes and less dehydration

* Low capital investment and minimum space requirement

* Maintenance/simplicity of operation.

* Minimum off stream time and maximum turn down/up capacity.

* Maximum versatility in relation to products handled.

Cryogenic freezing is an upcoming food processing technology that is gaining popularity because of

the lower setup costs and improved food quality when compared to mechanical freezing.

Cryogenic freezing involves freezing the outer layers of the food beyond its actual freezing point,

while the inner part of the product remains warm.

Cryogenic food freezing differs from mechanical ammonia or freon freezing systems.

Cryogenic freezing technologies can be used to produce high quality frozen foods.Cryogenic

freezing helps retain the freshness of the products that fetches a premium in major markets .

The water content of these tissues is either inside

the cells (intracellular fluid) or surrounding these

(extra cellular fluid). Since the lowest concentration

of solutes is found in the extra cellular fluids, the

first ice crystals are formed there. During slow

freezing, there will be time for the cell to lose water

by diffusion and the water will freeze on the surface

of the crystals already formed. As the cells keep

losing water, the cell shrinks more and more until it

collapses. The large ice crystals will exert pressure

on the cellular walls, causing drip loss during

thawing.


PROSPECTS FOR CRYOGENIC FREEZING TECHNOLOGY IN INDIA

Application areas

Individual quick freezing (IQF) is ideal for

Protein: Sliced and diced poultry and beef, glazed and marinated meat, meatballs, chicken tenders and

wings, shrimp, and scallops.

Prepared foods: Pizza toppings, e.g. diced ham, hamburger or sausage crumble; tortellini and other

pastas.

Fresh fruits and vegetables: High value produce.

Emerging trend

Individually quick freezing with cryogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) gas or liquid nitrogen locks in the

moisture, shape and freshness of small food items. While flighted freezers have been the primary

method for individually quick freezing foods for more than two decades, they are now being replaced

with newer, more efficient cryogenic freezing methods.

Prospects for cryogenic freezing technology in India

India is the world's second largest producer of food next to China, However, In terms of global food

processing business, India accounts for less than 1.5%.

It is found that the highest share of processed food is in the dairy sector, where 37 percent of the total

produce is processed and out of this, only 15 percent is processed by the organised sector.

Various areas of application of cryogenic food preservation in India may be the following

* Marine products

* Grinding of spices

* Dairy production and processing

* Fruits and vegetables

Efforts of Linde

Linde is one of the largest providers of cryogenic food preservation technology solutions to major

seafood exporting nations like Thailand and Malaysia.

Linde is working with the Andhra Pradesh government for a focused entry into modern cryogenic food

preservation technology (also known as IQF freezing technology) that is not yet in use in India.

Linde is in discussion with the Andhra Pradesh government to set up a demonstration lab, near the

Bhimavaram fishing harbour, where Linde will bring in the freezing tunnel to showcase the technology.

It also has plans to offer classroom training to create skilled manpower that is essential for the business

ecosystem. Linde is particularly hopeful of attracting the interest of start ups in the food processing

sector, as this solution is a natural fit for them as does not require a lot of infrastructure.

Skid resistant aggregate, light weight

aggregates for masonry products and

Slag is a by-product of steel making and is produced during the separation of the molten steel

from impurities in steel making furnaces,by processing iron ore.

The slag occurs as a molten liquid melt and is a complex solution of silicates and oxides that

solidifies upon cooling.

Molten slag, which floats on the top of the molten iron ore, is separated and granulated.

Granulation is the rapid quenching with water of the molten slag into solid.

The slag produced at blast furnace during pig iron manufacturing is called

blast furnace slag.

The slag produced at steel melting shop is known as steel slag.

Slag output obtained during pig iron and steel production is variable and depends mainly on

composition of raw materials and type of furnace used.

Typically, for iron ore feed containing 60 to 65% iron, blast furnace(BF) slag production ranges

from about 300 to 540 kg per metric tonne of pig or crude iron produced. Lower grade ores

yield much higher slag fractions, sometimes as high as one tonne of slag per metric tonne of

pig iron produced.

Steel slag output is approximately 20% by mass of the crude steel output.

Use of blast furnace slag in portland slag cement (PSC)

Portland slag cement is suitable for concrete paths, mass concrete uses, structures and bases as well as

pre cast concrete.

PSC or Portland Slag cement is manufactured by either grinding the

portland clinker with gypsum and granulated slag or blending the

ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with ordinary portland

cement by means of mechanical blenders.

Normal composition of portland cement is 30 % clinker, 5 % gypsum

and 70 % blast furnace granulated slag.

The use of slag in portland slag cement manufacturing reduces the

clinker consumption, resulting in lowering the generation of Green

House Gases (GHG) CO2 in atmosphere. The manufacture of slag

cement not only lessens the burden on landfills, but also reduces air

emissions at steel plants through the granulation process

(as compared to the traditional air-cooling process).

Manufacturing of portland slag cement requires nearly 50 percent

less energy, as compared to produce a metric tonne of ordinary

portland cement


GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE TO PROMOTE BLAST FURNACE SLAG MARKET

According to the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, utilization of fly ash and

blast furnace slag can reduce dust emission by 9800 metric tonne per annum and CO2 emission by

33.6 million metric tonne per annum.

Global market for blast ferrous slag

The ferrous slag market in 2014 was worth an estimated US$ 30 billion.

It is forecast to grow by 1.6% to US$36bn by 2025, according to a new report from Smithers Apex.

The current global potential market supply of blast furnace slag is estimated to be 447 million metric

tonne, of which almost 295 to 300 million metric tonne is granulated blast furnace slag (GBS).

Currently, granulated BF slag meets only an estimated 17% of global cement supply.

Portland slag cement scenario in India

The Indian cement industry is the second largest in the global cement market after China, accounting for

about 8% of the total global production.

The Indian cement industry has total cement manufacturing capacity of around 375 million metric

tonne, as on financial year ended 2014-15.

Share of production of different types of cement

Type of cement Share percentage in production

Ordinary portland cement 31%

Portland pozzolana cement 61%

Portland blast furnace slag cement 7%

Others such as white and specialized cement 1%

Around 8 million metric tonne of slag per annum is utilized by cement plants.

Government of India‘s initative

Government of India is pushing for the use of slag cement for the construction of highways.

Cement roads are cost effective, both in construction and maintenance. Slag cement costs up to four

times less compared to normal cement, making it a ‗game changer‘.

On 19 February 2016, the transport minister announced plans for the use of ‗waste‘ materials such as

slag cement for the construction of roads.

There is huge inventory of slag in the country. Government of India has, therefore, decided to build slag

based cement concrete highways in the place of traditional bitumen roads.

At present, a few test roads made with slag cement have been built in the north of the country.


CAN INDIA BE A HUB FOR BIOSIMILARS?

The Indian generics industry got its first big break in 1984, when the US passed what is known as the

Hatch-Waxman Act. With this legislation, the US streamlined the generic approvals, thereby making it

easier for generic companies to compete in the US drug market.

Major countries around the world are now

inclined to allow biosimilars. The Indian

biogenerics industry is poised to exploit the

opportunity they did in the case of generics,

although it has no clear advantage at the

moment.

There are a number of biologicals in India and

the country has gained experience in developing

and manufacturing them. If India plays its cards

well, the industry could take off at an important

moment, as part of a global shift from

conventional small molecule drugs to biologicals.

It would also make biogenerics manufacturing an

important part of the Make in India movement.

The main players in the country now are Biocon,

Dr Reddy's, Zydus Cadila, Wockhardt and Intas.

A biosimilar is a molecule that is close in structure and function as biological drug.

Small molecules are easy to make and characterise. Since the precise nature and function of

biologicals are difficult to understand, it is hard to establish that two products are exactly the

same.

So, making a biosimilar is not as easy as making a generic small molecule, which is why we

need to use a different measuring stick to estimate the potential of Indian Immunologicals,

"but the challenges are many."

Price factors

Now, there are about 600 biosimilar products in development around the world, according to

market research firm Roots Analysis.

As the biologics are priced high, it is necessary for countries to reduce prices through

biosimilars.

Regulations

New products being introduced in the country now undergo more rigorous testing and

evaluation, but the regulations are still in the form of guidelines and not formal procedures.


CAN INDIA BE A HUB FOR BIOSIMILARS?

Biocon's first product was Nimotuzumab, a novel molecule for head and neck cancer. Since then, it has

launched several products like human insulin and monoclonal antibodies.

Dr Reddy's has wide portfolio with products like rituximab, filgrastim, darbepoetin and others.

Zydus Cadila has nine biosimilars and recently launched the world's first biosimilar version of the

arthritis drug adalimumab.

Intas launched the world's first biosimilar version of ranibizumab, used for treating degenerative diseases

of the eye.

The challenges ahead

For an Indian company, there are many challenges to getting a good marketshare in biosimilars.

Any biogenerics product has to be cost competitive. This is a far more ambiguous and difficult

proposition in biogenerics than in generics.

The threshold of price reduction varies significantly in biogenerics, depending on the product and

market requirements. But it is never very low as in generics. To be cost competitive, a biogenerics

company has to develop a good foundation in science and invest heavily in technology.

The investments in biogenerics are high when compared to conventional generics. The development is

itself lengthy and expensive, and could cost more than Rs 100 crore and take upto six or seven years.

Manufacturing costs are much more

Biocon, for example, spent $200 million on its insulin plant in Malaysia. Compare this to just a few

crores of rupees and two years needed for a generic drug.

It is hard to generate investor interest if a product hits the market only after seven years. So, India is

unlikely to see startups in biogenerics, which could also drive consolidation of some players.

A successful manufacturer has to have good science and manufacturing technology and the capability to

deal with complex regulations.

So, it is a hard journey that is difficult to do anywhere, let alone in India. Deep pockets are not enough

either.

Expertise in biology is essential and this subject does not yet have critical mass in India. India has fewer

research labs in biology than a big state in Europe or the USA And, yet, things have improved in the last

ten years, as experience has built up in technology and regulation.

If India has to create that advantage in biosimilars, it is not just enough to make the right regulations and

conditions for industry. The country has to expand the biology research ecosystem by investing in

education and fundamental research.

ANTI DUMPING PAGE

Phenol

Government of India is expected to impose anti dumping duty of up to USD 253 per metric tonne on

import of phenol from EU, Korea and Singapore.

The Directorate General of Anti dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) has concluded that the product

has been exported to India from these countries "below its associated normal value, thus, resulting in

dumping of the product".

The findings also said that the performance of the domestic industry has deteriorated in respect of

production, capacity utilisation, domestic sales, market share, profits, cash flow, return on investment,

productivity and inventories.

*****

Plastic processors

The commerce ministry of Government of India has recommended an up to 44.74% anti dumping duty

on import of plastic processing machines from Chinese Taipei, the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam to

protect the domestic industry from cheaper inflows from these nations.

The Directorate General of Anti dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) has held that ―plastic processing

machines or injection moulding machines‖ are entering the domestic market from these countries at

throw away prices, badly hurting the domestic industry‘s performance.

The DGAD has recommended an anti dumping duty in the range of 6.06 to 44.74%.

After the probe initiated through a November 2014 notice, the DGAD found that the product entered

the Indian market at prices less than their "normal values and the dumping margins of the dumped

imports from these countries are substantial and above de minimis".

*****

n butanol / n butyl alcohol

Government of India is expected to impose anti dumping duty on import of n-butyl alcohol from five

countries including Singapore, European Union and the US.

The Directorate General of Anti dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) in its investigation has said that the

export price of n-butanol exported from European Union (EU), Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and

the US are below normal value, "thus establishing dumping" of the product.

The restrictive duty recommended is in the range of $13.24 per metric tonne to $149.31 per metric

tonne.

The Andhra Petrochemicals Ltd had filed an application for initiation of anti dumping duty investigation.

WTO RULES AGAINST INDIA IN SOLAR POWER CASE

AND INDIA’S RESPONSE

The WTO‘s Dispute Settlement Panel has ruled that ―the DCR measures are inconsistent‖ with relevant

provisions of the TRIMs (Trade Related Investment Measures) Agreement and with the articles of the

erstwhile General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.

The US had dragged India to the WTO on this issue in 2014, alleging that the clause relating to domestic

content requirement (DCR) in the country‘s solar power mission was discriminatory and ―nullified‖ the

benefits accruing to American solar power developers.

India to appeal against WTO ruling

India plans to appeal against the World Trade Organisation ruling on the mandatory domestic content

stipulations in its national solar power generation programme.

India had so far been arguing that since the power generated under Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar

Mission (JNNSM) was bought by an agency of the public sector company NTPC, the transaction qualified

as government procurement which was not covered by WTO rules.

.

While the JNNSM aims to add 100,000 MW of solar power by 2022, the local content requirement is

only for 8,000 MW for rooftop and land based projects where the government provides a subsidy.

The appeal against the ruling has to be filed

before it is put up for adoption in the DSB by

the US, as it can‘t be challenged once adopted.

Meanwhile, Government does not want to

make any changes in the local procurement

norms in its ambitious JNNSM, till a ruling on

its proposed appeal is made by the WTO

panel. This can take up to four months once an

appeal is filed.

The US and India were trying to reach a

mutual satisfactory solution to the problem

that would have entailed amending the

sourcing rules to ensure that the local content

requirement was imposed only on projects,

where it could be established that the power

produced was used by government entities.

Intense discussions took place between the

office of the US Trade Representative and the

MNRE over the last few months, but the two

sides were not able to settle the details.

Ruling against India, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) said that the Indian government‘s

power purchase agreements with solar firms were ―inconsistent‖ with international norms — a

matter in which the US had filed a complaint before the global trade body, alleging discrimination

against American firms.

BIODIESEL – GLOBAL SCENARIO

Biodiesel – Salient features

* Biodiesel fuel has chemical properties that are similar to conventional diesel fuel and does not

require any engine modifications or new equipment to enable its use as a blend stock or substitute for

conventional diesel.

* Biodiesel quality standards are not generally feedstock specific. However, the cloud point of

biodiesel is feedstock specific

Biodiesel (chemically known as fatty acid methyl ester) is an alternative fuel to conventional

diesel (obtained from crude petroleum).

When vegetable oil or animal fat is chemically reacted with an alcohol (methanol) and catalyst

(caustic soda or caustic potash or sodium methoxide), biodiesel is produced along with glycerine

as by product. This process is called transesterification

The feedstock (vegetable oil and fats) include the following

* Vegetable oils produced from oil seeds (like rape seeds / canola, soybean, sunflower,

palm, jatropha, corn, cotton seed, etc)

* Oil obtained from algae

* Used cooking oil and grease (yellow, brown, etc)

* Animal fat (beef tallow, poultry fat, pork fat, etc)

* Fatty acids including palm fatty acid distillate

Biodiesel (B100) represents 100% biodiesel. The latest specification for B100 biodiesel fuel is

ASTM D6751-07

* Unlike conventional diesel fuel, biodiesel

is renewable fuel and significantly reduces levels

of harmful pollutants and global warming gases.

* Biodiesel has higher cetane number,

which means that biodiesel fuel will ignite more

easily in a diesel engine, while also reducing

engine noise. Biodiesel's higher cetane number

offsets its lower BTU content, thus resulting in

negligible difference in overall fuel economy).

* Low lubricity diesel fuel may cause high

wear and scarring, whereas high lubricity fuel

may provide reduced wear and longer

component life. Biodiesel fuel blends offer higher

lubricity than conventional diesel

Preservative boosters (anti microbial potentiators+)

1,2 hexane diol is an anti microbial potentiator

Antimicrobial potentiators are needed to boost the activity of traditional preservatives such as parabens,

phenoxyethanol, etc.

Antimicrobial potentiators are cosmetic materials that have weak activity on their own but work

synergistically with known preservatives.

These materials significantly increase the antimicrobial activity of preservatives, but they normally have

little or no activity when used alone.

They can be useful in reducing the preservative level in formulations and they typically provide other

useful benefits, as well.

1,2 hexane diol is a diol and it is used as preservative booster. It is effective as a moisturizer with broad

Prognosis

Better product performance for the hexene 1 based linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) has

resulted in an increased preference for hexene-1 relative to butene-1 in LLDPE markets in developed

economies.

The development of new applications for the octene-1 stream, for example in drilling related

applications, has tightened the supply demand balance raising the price of octane-1relative to hexene-1.

In this changed octene-1 scenario, the reconversion of several LLDPE plants to use octene-1 instead of

hexene-1 has created further tightening of the octene-1 balance.

The demand outlook is strongly dependent on the following two factors.

Hexene-1 demand in LLDPE in specific industrial applications grows faster than butene-1 in developed

economies.

The requirement of octene-1 in the polyolefin elastomer market not only grows at a faster rate than

LLDPE, but it is also used with a higher unit consumption per metric tonne of product. For example, an

elastomeric polyolefin can require over 25 kg of octene-1 per metric tonne of product compared to

10 kg per metric tonne in the case of LLDPE.

While butene-1 and hexene-1 can be produced not only via broad range technology but also by single

cut technology, octene-1 is generally produced by the broad range traditional technology with exception

of Sasol‘s new plant at Lake Charles, LA, and the Dow process at Tarragona, Spain.

UHMWPE projects at TX,USA

A linear polyethylene (PE) with a much higher molecular weight than standard PE, UHMWPE is notable

for its abrasion resistance, impact strength, nonsticking, and self lubricating properties and mechanical

characteristics, even in cryogenic conditions. The material is eight times lighter than steel and lasts

10 times longer than high density PE in abrasive environments. Supplied as a powder, UHMWPE must be

processed at high pressures that fuse the particles.

Celanese plans to increase capacity to produce ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) at

Bishop, TX, to 38,000 metric tonne per year. The company, which markets the material under the

trade name GUR, expects to complete the project in May,2016.

This expansion, which combined with incremental

capacity increases will total 100 million lbs of

annual capacity, is in addition to the 250 million lb

ethylene expansion at Lake Charles, LA, which is

expected to begin in the second quarter of 2016.

Additional production at the two facilities will be

sold to parent Westlake under a long-term sales

agreement that provides for a fixed margin of

10 cts per lb.



Celanese says that the new capacity will support the introduction of two new medical grades of

UHMWPE to the pharmaceutical industry, where they will be used in applications such as filtration,

purifying of liquid drug formulations, and mechanical drug contact and delivery devices.

PTA-PET project in Texas,USA

Mossi Ghisolfi Group‘s ( Tortona, Italy) subsidiary M&G Chemicals will increase the initial capacity of

integrated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) plant at Corpus Christi,

TX, by more than 100,000 metric tonne per year of PET, to at least 1.1 million metric tonne per year

of PET.

The initial PTA capacity will also increase by the corresponding amount.

The company‘s plants at Altamira, Mexico; and Suape, Brazil, have also increased capacity more than

30% vis-à-vis the initial design capacity.

Precipated silica capacity at Lake Charles,USA

PPG is debottlenecking precipitated silica production at its Lake Charles, LA, manufacturing plant to

increase capacity by over 10,000 metric tonne per year.

The company expects to complete the project in the second half of 2016.

PPG last increased the Lake Charles plant‘s capacity by 22,000 metric tonne per year in 2014.

Its capacity is currently 126,000 metric tonne per year.

Global demand for precipitated silica is nearly 2.5 million metric tonne per year.

Other applications for UHMWPE include orthopedic

implants, lithium batteries, fibers, and membranes.

Separately, Braskem in June 2014 announced plans to

build a $34-million UHMWPE plant at its La Porte,

TX, site. Braskem said in December 2015 that it had

hired Saulsbury Industries (Odessa, TX) to build the

plant, which is expected to begin production by the

end of 2016.

*****

The complex is under construction and scheduled to

open in the second half of 2016

Alpek (Monterrey, Mexico) has agreed with M&G to

add 100,000 metric tonne per year of PET to a

sourcing agreement the companies announced in

2013. Alpek‘s aggregate contractual rights to output

from M&G‘s Corpus Christi site will now total

500,000 metric tonne per year of PET, made with

420,000 metric tonne per year of PTA, when M&G‘s

complex is completed.

Touch screen panel production in Japan

Sumitomo Chemical will increase the production capacity for touchscreen panels for organic LED

(OLED) display panels at the site of Dongwoo Fine-Chem (Pyeongtaek, South Korea), the company‘s

South Korean base for information technology (IT)–related chemicals.

Compared with LCD panels, OLED display panels are thinner, lighter, and consume less power because

hey do not require backlight. They also offer higher contrast in screen images and faster response—

advantages that have prompted more assembled product manufacturers to adopt OLED display panels

for their smartphones.

With the growing OLED display panels market for smartphones, panel manufacturers are more quickly

developing next generation OLED devices, such as bended, foldable, and rollable handheld displays.

Sumitomo aims to develop products for next generation OLED displays, such as flexible touchscreen

panels, materials to replace cover glass, and barrier films, and commercialize them as early as possible.

Sumitomo Chemical will continue to develop higher performance products, and enhance the lineup of

related products to promote businesses in these fields as a new core area of its IT-related chemicals

sector.

*****

The production capacity will increase to about 1.4 times

current capacity. The expanded facility is expected to

begin commercial production in October,2016.

Sumitomo entered the touch screen panel business in

2011 and has been contributing to thinning down OLED

display panels by supplying thinner touch screen panels.

Approvals for two uses of HBCDD in EU

The European Commission has authorized two uses of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD), the

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA; Helsinki) has reported.

The first authorized use is the formulation of expandable polystyrene (EPS) containing HBCDD as a

flame retardant on solid unexpanded polystyrene pellets used in building applications.

The other is the production of EPS articles containing HBCDD as a flame retardant used in building

applications.

The review period of the authorizations will expire on 21 August 2017.

The authorization holders are required to report to the commission on a trimonthly basis on the

available quantities of the product on the market. The holders are also expected to report on the

progress of substituting HBCDD with less hazardous alternatives, one of which is a brominated

copolymer of styrene and butadiene.

HBCDD is included in the authorization list of the European Union‘s Registration, Evaluation,

Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals legislation because the inherent substance properties fulfil

the criteria for substances that are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic or very persistent and very

bioaccumulative in the environment, ECHA says.

21 new shale gas licenses to Ineos in UK

Ineos has won 21 new shale gas licenses in the final part of the UK government‘s 14th licensing round.

The majority of the licenses are in the old mining heartlands of the North West, North Yorkshire, and

East Midlands regions, with a heritage of energy and feedstock production.



Locations include Runcorn, close to Ineos‘s world scale chlorine based manufacturing operations.

The licenses in North Yorkshire are near the company‘s UK plants at Hull, Newton Aycliffe, and Seal

Sands.

The announcement by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC; London), a government

body, means that Ineos is now the biggest player in UK onshore shale oil and gas licenses, with access to

1 million acres of potential shale gas reserves. The latest award adds 700,000 acres to Ineos‘s existing

300,000 acres.

The company will share 6% of revenues with home owners, landowners, and communities around its

shale gas wells.

Ineos, unlike many of its rivals, can use shale gas as a feedstock and a power source. This means shale

gas could help underpin the competitiveness of Ineos‘s manufacturing sites across the United Kingdom

for years to come.

Potentially, these new ―shale economics‖ could bolster the wider UK manufacturing sector as they have

done in the United States.

Meanwhile, the UK parliament has voted narrowly to allow fracking to extract shale gas under the

country‘s national parks and certain other protected sites. The new legislation, which permits drilling at

least 1,200 meters below the surface in national parks, was approved by 298 votes to 261. Wellheads

will have to be positioned outside the protected areas.

BP Expands scope of $16 billion natural gas project

BP and state owned Oman Oil Co. agreed to expand an exploration and production sharing agreement

of the Khazzan natural gas field to include a second development phase, at an estimated cost of

$16 billion for the entire project.

Khazzan is a major resource with the potential to produce gas for Oman for decades

Block 61 will add 1,000 square kilometers (386.1 square miles) to the original 2,700 square kilometer

area of development. The project will produce 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas per day, or 40 percent of

Oman‘s current output. The new development requires final approval of Oman‘s government and BP,

which is expected in 2017.

The reservoir is known to have ―tight gas,‖ which is trapped in impermeable rocks and requires

techniques including hydraulic fracturing to extract.

Oman, an exporter of liquefied natural gas to Spain, Japan and South Korea, is studying options to

import LNG to help generate power.

Domestic consumption jumped to 774 billion cubic feet in 2013 from 520 billion cubic feet in 2009,

according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Oman imports gas via a pipeline from Qatar

and is in talks to build a link with Iran across the Persian Gulf.



The first phase of the project is expected to deliver gas in 2017 and the second will start in 2020.

BP owns 60 percent of the block, with the remaining 40 percent held by Oman Oil. More than 325 wells

ARTICLES AND ANALYSIS ON CHEMICAL INDUSTRY ALL OVER THE WORLD.

AS YOU READ NANDINI CHEMICAL JOURNAL, YOU ARE FORGING AHEAD.


TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Bio ethanol technology

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (IIT-R) have achieved success in providing

biofuel using a perennial weed, Kans grass. This grass, native to the subcontinent, grows up to three feet

in height and is used in thatching katcha houses in rural areas. The weed, being widely available and

perennial, comes at low cost.

Kans grass, known by the scientific name Saccharum spontaneum, was chosen as the feedstock for

production of bioethanol because of its high yields, low cost, ability to grow in marginal lands with

almost no water supply and wide availability right through the year.

There are various grasses from which bioethanol is being produced. Among the most common is

Eastern Gama grass (Trypsacum dactyloides). However, scientists could recover around 37% cellulose

and 22.1% hemicellulose from it. From Kans grass, scientists were able to recover over 43.78% cellulose

and 24.22% hemicelluloses.

Olefin metathesis technology

Elevance has scaled up its olefin metathesis technology in a second generation biorefinery using ethylene

and natural oil feedstocks.

The run scaled up by 40,000 times what had been previously demonstrated at laboratory scale and it

represents the largest use of molybdenum/tungsten catalysts for metathesis with ethylene and

renewable oil.

Versalis (Milan) partially funded the work as part of a wider partnership that started in early 2014.

*****

Stretch silicone elastomer

Gelest (Morrisville, PA) has launched a silicone elastomer and says that the silica nanoparticle

reinforced material can stretch more than three times than any previously reported material.

Gelest says that a two yard piece stretches the length of a football field. Gelest also says that, unlike

conventional silicone, the material can withstand extreme temperatures and stress. Gelest says that it

has capability to produce the material at ton level quantities at its existing production facilities.

*****

Catofin technology to build dehydrogenation plant

Hengli Petrochemical Refinery (Dalian, China) has contracted CB&I to provide its Catofin technology.

The project scope includes the license and engineering design of a grassroots propane and butane

dehydrogenation unit to be built at Dalian.

The unit will use Catofin catalytic dehydrogenation technology and Clariant‘s tailor made Catofin

catalyst to process feedstock containing 300,000 metric tonne per year of propane and 600,000 metric

tonne per year of isobutane for the joint production of propylene and isobutylene.



The unit will be the largest single train dehydrogenation plant.

Catofin technology allows multiple feed compositions to be coprocessed, says at CB&I.

In addition to this award, CLG, CB&I‘s joint venture with Chevron, was awarded the Isodewaxing

catalytic isomerization and Isofinishing hydrofinishing processes for this project.

*****

Novel green fuel

Scientist from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) in USA has developed new high performing

materials for cells that harness sunlight to split carbon dioxide and water into useable fuels like methanol

and hydrogen gas.

"Our new material could improve the safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness of solar fuel generation

which is not yet economically viable," said the scientist.

The new hybrid platform uses ultra long carbon nano tube networks with a homogeneous coating of

copper oxide nano crystals.

It demonstrates both the high electrical conductivity of carbon nanotubes and the photocathode

qualities of copper oxide.

*****

Biobased building block precursor - FDME

DuPont and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) have unveiled a biobased process to produce furan

dicarboxylic methyl ester (FDME), a precursor to building block chemical furandicarboxylic acid.

The partners say that FDME technology is a more efficient and simple process than traditional

conversion approaches and results in higher yields, lower energy usage, and lower capital expenditures.

The two companies are planning a 60 metric tonne per year demonstration plant at Decatur, IL,USA.

*****

New process for making cyclohexanone

Ube Industries will switch to a new manufacturing process for cyclohexanone at the company‘s Ube

City, Japan, manufacturing site.

The new process produces cyclohexanone by selectively hydrogenating phenol. The existing process is

based on oxidizing cyclohexane.

These "green fuels" can be used to power cars, home appliances

or even to store energy in batteries.

"Technologies that simultaneously permit us to remove

greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide while harnessing and storing

the energy of sunlight as fuel are at the forefront of current

research," said Dr Krishnan Rajeshwar, distinguished professor of

chemistry and biochemistry and co-founder of the university's

centre of renewable energy, science and technology.



Cyclohexanone manufactured at Ube City is mainly used as an intermediate to produce caprolactam,

which is also manufactured at the site. As part of these efforts to reduce costs, Ube Industries, studied

adopting the new manufacturing process for cyclohexanone at the Ube City site and has decided to

build 80,000 metric tonne per year cyclohexanone facility there. The new plant is expected to be

completed in November 2017.

The new phenol based process offers a number of advantages over the existing process. The new

process is more streamlined, downsizes equipment, provides higher yields of cyclohexanone from raw

materials and consumes less steam and electricity.

The change in the manufacturing process also means that the Ube City site will no longer produce

1,6 hexanediol and 1,5 pentanediol. The new process will enhance the cost competitiveness of Ube‘s

caprolactam as a nylon-6 raw material.

New bio inspired material to harvest water from thin air

The Namib desert beetle, for example, collects water droplets on the bumps of its shell, while V-shaped

cactus spines guide droplets to the plant's body. Researchers from Harvard University have drawn

inspiration from these organisms to develop a better way to promote and transport condensed water

droplets.

"Our research shows that a complex bio inspired approach, in which we marry multiple biological

species to come up with non trivial designs for highly efficient materials with unprecedented properties,

is a new, promising direction in biomimetics," said Joanna Aizenberg from Harvard University.

The system is inspired by the bumpy shell of desert beetles, the asymmetric structure of cactus spines

and slippery surfaces of pitcher plants.

The material harnesses the power of these natural systems and Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces

(SLIPS) technology, to collect and direct the flow of condensed water droplets. The study was published

in the journal Nature.

*****

Polyurethane foam to clear oil spill

A highly effective mechanical sponge can clear oil spills using foams with interconnected open porous

structures through which water can flow easily, scientists say.

The traditional method of clearing an oil spill, containing it with the use of booms and then 'sucking' the

oil from the surface of the water, looks set to be replaced with polyurethane foams that can sponge the

oil directly out of the water.

Harvard University scientists have designed a new material

inspired by organisms such as cacti, pitcher plants and desert

beetles that can effectively harvest water from thin air.

The research is the first step towards developing a system that

can efficiently collect water and guide it to a reservoir,

researchers said.

Certain organisms can survive in arid environments because

they have evolved mechanisms to collect water from thin air.



The new study shows that with highly interconnected

open porous structures and pore sizes below

500 micrometres, it is possible to reach absorption

capacities as high as 30 grammes of oil per gramme of

polyurethane.

Javier Pinto, from the Istituto Italiano di Technologia

(IIT) in Italy says that chemical functionalisation of the

porous structure do not appear to enhance the oil

absorption efficiency, but do significantly contribute to

the selectivity of the process.

The study was published in the Journal of Physics D:

Applied Physics.

GRAPHENE – RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

New ultra thin, patterned graphene sheets developed by scientists could enable future applications such

as "smart wallpaper, generating electricity from waste light or heat that will pave way for power, a host

of applications within the growing "internet of things," says a new study.

Using a new technique, scientists enhanced its light absorption by 90 percent.

In the study, published recently in Science Advances, researchers from Britain's University of Surrey,

used nanotexturing to create the most light absorbent graphene for its weight, to date.

Smart applications of this ultra thin graphene could be more efficient solar cells and new types of

sensors and energy harvesters.

Solar cells coated with this material would be able to harvest very dim light. Installed indoors, as part of

future 'smart wallpaper' or 'smart windows'. This material could generate electricity from waste light or

heat, powering a numerous array of smart applications. New types of sensors and energy harvesters

connected through the internet would also benefit from this type of coating. The next step is to

incorporate this material in a variety of existing and emerging technologies.

Centre of excellence for grapheme at IIT - Madras

.

Ultra-thin graphene

Graphene is a new age material developed by isolating

graphite flakes, carbon derivative pursued by multinationals

like IBM and Samsung, for the next electronic gadget

building block.

A form of carbon just one atom thick, graphene is strong

and an excellent electronic material, but is inefficient for

optical applications as it absorbs only 2.3 percent of the

light falling on it.

IIT-Madras would set up a Centre of Excellence for quality

research and development on graphene. It would require about

Rs 100 crore of investment over a 10-year period and academic

collaborations.

IIT-M is roping internationally well known universities in the UK

like The Manchester University, University of Cambridge and

University of Warwick and is reported to be holding discussions

with a large industrial house to be roped in as the anchor investor.

The Centre of Excellence will work on multiple aspects on

graphene technology, including producing, functionalising and

finding applications for the material.

Significant headway has been achieved in supply of pure graphene

through a reactor developed at IISc with startup KAS Technologies,

but commercial plants are not in operation.

New rules on waste plastics recycling

China‘s new rules on waste plastics recycling became effective on January 1,2016, the Ministry of

Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said on December 21,2015.

The Industry Specifications for the Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Plastics has set minimum

capacity requirements for industry players.

New manufacturers of recycled PET bottle chips should have minimum waste plastics processing

capacity of 30 000 metric tonne per annum, while that for existing companies is 20 000 metric tonne

per annum .

Newcomers in the plastics crushing, washing and sorting sectors should have minimum treatment

capacity of 30 000 metric tonne per annum, while that for existing ones is 20 000 metric tonne per

annum .

For recycled plastic granulator makers, new companies should have annual capacity of at least

5 000 metric tonne per annum while existing companies are required to stay above 3 000 metric

tonne per annum .

In terms of the comprehensive utilization of resources, the new rules require that all manufacturers

along the plastics recycling chain use less than 500 kWh of power for each metric tonne of waste

plastics produced. For recycled PET bottle chips makers and waste plastics crushing, washing and

sorting companies, fresh water consumption should be below 1.5 metric tonne for each metric tonne of

waste plastics handled, while that for recycled plastic granulator makers, it is is 0.2 metric tonne for each

metric tonne of waste plastics used.

The MIIT required the companies that cannot meet the new rules and those plagued by major quality,

safety and pollution accidents to rectify their problems and in quick time and those who refuse to do so

or still cannot meet new requirements even after rectifications will have their business qualification

cancelled, and cannot re apply for license for at least two years.

There are more than 3 000 waste plastics processing companies in China now. Small players are forced

to quit as the new rules became effective.

New norms for refrigerators

The Government of India has banned the sale of entry level one star air conditioners in the Indian

market and introduced improved energy efficiency guidelines for frost free refrigerators. It also made it

compulsory for companies to adhere to energy rating rules for hi-end inverter ACs from 2018.

The rules have been notified by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), the nodal body under the power

ministry for energy efficiency rating of consumer electronics.

BEE has just started voluntary energy labelling for inverter ACs with several manufacturers going to

launch such products shortly.

*****

Manufacturers said the move will increase the price of

entry-level ACs since the starting range will be a two star

unit that are priced around Rs 3,000 more than the one

star model and cost upwards of Rs 20,000. It will also

push up the prices of four and five star refrigerators

significantly, and make the most energy efficient five star

inverter ACs dearer by around Rs 5,000.

rued that though India recorded

substantial increase in milk

production in 2014-15 as

compared to 2013-14 (up by

nearly 6.3% as compared to

global average of 2.2% increase

during the year), the milk

productivity (production per

less as compared to those in

developed dairy nations.

India has been able to provide on

an average, 302 gm per person

per day milk which is more than

the minimum quantity

recommended by the World

Health Organisation.

According to the Food and

Agriculture Organisation of the

UN, India currently accounts for

nearly 16% of total world milk

production. However, India is

not among the highest milk

surplus countries due to huge

domestic demand and less

productivity. (milk production

Glyphosate

Monsanto filed a lawsuit against the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment

(OEHHA) to prevent listing of glyphosate under California‘s Proposition 65 (Prop 65), which requires

the state to maintain a ―list of chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.‖

Monsanto maintains that a Prop 65 listing would be based on an erroneous classification by the World

Health Organization‘s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) that contradicts OEHHA‘s

own 2007 assessment. Since the initial announcement of the IARC meeting‘s classification in March

2015, multiple regulatory bodies, including EPA, European Food Safety Authority, and Canadian Pest

Management Regulatory Authority, have affirmed that there is no evidence that glyphosate causes

cancer, Monsanto says.

The company says OEHHA announced its intention to add glyphosate to the Prop 65 list despite

―conducting a rigorous and science based assessment‖ in 2007 that concluded the herbicide was unlikely

to cause cancer.

OEHHA now interprets Prop 65 to require the agency to accept the classification of glyphosate as a

―probable carcinogen‖ by an IARC working group as the sole basis for the proposed listing, Monsanto

says.

Scientists crack groundnut genome

Scientists have cracked the genome of the protein and oil rich peanut, opening avenues for agriculture

researchers to come out with better varieties.

ICRISAT was involved in project planning, defining the strategy and also contributed to data analysis for

the discovery

The crop is grown in an extent of about 25.70 million hectares, with an estimated production of

42 million metric tonne per annum in the world. To map the peanut‘s genome structure, IPGI

researchers sequenced the two ancestral parents, because together they represent the cultivated

peanut.

This promises accelerated gene discovery and development of improved peanut with enhanced pod and

oil yield, greater disease resistance, drought and heat tolerance and oil quality. The new peanut genome

sequence will be available to researchers and plant breeders across the globe to aid in the breeding of

more productive peanut varieties.

Led by the University of Georgia (the US) researchers,

a team at International Peanut Genome Initiative (IPGI)

completed sequencing of the ancestral genomes of

peanut (also called groundnut).

The IPGI is a multi national group of crop geneticists

working in cooperation for several years with

39 scientists from 26 organisations in six countries

including the Hyderabad-based ICRISAT.


AGRO CHEMICAL PAGE

This research will also help peanut farmers to tackle the emerging challenges of climate change better.

The genome map can also be used to harness genetic diversity by broadening the genetic base of

cultivated peanut gene pool.

―The researchers traced the roots of the original wild genomes of Arachis duranensis (V14167,

A-genome ancestor) and A.ipaensis (K30076, B-genome ancestor) to a wild plant from Bolivia, which is

considered to be a living relic of the prehistoric origins of the cultivated peanut species,‖ ICRISAT

(International Crops Research Institute for Semi Arid Tropics) has said in a statement.

Comparisons of the DNA sequences of one of the wild species and the cultivated peanut showed that

they are almost exactly the same; in fact, they are 99.96 percent identical. It is an unprecedented

similarity.

Fish oil based diet may help combat Alzheimer's disease

A fish oil based diet for three weeks has been found to slow progression of Alzheimer's like symptoms

in mouse models of the disease, reports a new study, supporting viability of a dietary approach to

combat the brain disorder in humans.

Despite enormous effort to find an efficient treatment, current pharmacological interventions are limited

to a few drugs that alleviate symptoms but do not slow down the underlying disease processes.

Within the EU funded project LipiDiDiet - therapeutic and preventive impact of nutritional lipids on

neuronal and cognitive performance in ageing, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia the

researchers from the Institute of Physiology, Czech Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic, devised

several lipid based diets aimed at slowing down progression and relieving symptoms of AD.

The study showed that feeding young adult mice with Alzheimer's like symptoms (transgenic mouse

model of AD) with experimental diets containing fish oil or stigmasterol for three weeks relieved some

symptoms of the disease.

The study was published in the journal Current Alzheimer Research.

Dabur has signed a license pact with the government to produce two new ayurvedic drugs Ayush-64 for

treatment of malaria and Ayush-82 for management of diabetes. Ayush-64 is highly effective for the treatment of malaria. In view of its wide prevalence and drug resistant

malarial parasite, a poly herbal non toxic drug has been developed by CCRAS after carrying out extensive pharmacological, toxicological and clinical studies.

The findings yield important evidence that regular intake of specific

dietary components may help to prevent some of the key early

functional changes that take place in the Alzheimer brain.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common disease underlying

memory problems and dementia in the elderly.

Anti malarial drug activity of garlic

A study carried out by researchers at the Bengaluru-based Indian Institute

of Science (IISc) has shown that garlic, well known for its medicinal

properties, in the form of oil can complement and improve the efficacy of

the used artemisinin anti-malarial drug.

Dabur has also signed an MoU with the Central Council of Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), an

apex research body under the Ministry of AYUSH, for collaboration and cooperation in pharmaceutical

R&D for different novel dosage forms and drug development in ayurveda.

The ayurvedic formulations for both medicines were developed by CCRAS.

After successful completion of the project on a specific product, Dabur will market the same with its

distribution network in India. Dabur may also market some of the already developed products by

CCRAS.

CCRAS and Dabur will explore the feasibility and possibility of collaboration in diverse areas of R&D

relating to ayurvedic medicines.

(ISPRL) will complete construction of

the caverns in Mangaluru and Padur by

2016 .

At present, there is existing tankage of

14.8 million metric tonne of crude oil

and 13.7 million metric tonne of

petroleum products in the country,

which provides coverage of

approximately 63 days of consumption.

Strategic crude oil reserves of

5.33 million metric tonne being set up

in phase-I and strategic crude oil

reserve of 12.5 million metric tonne in

phase-II will give coverage of

approximately 12 days and 28 days

respectively, as per present

consumption.

Under phase-I storage capacity of

5.33 million metric tonne at three

locations is being set up which includes

Visakhapatnam (1.33 million metric

tonne).Mangaluru (1.5 million metric

tonne) and Padur (2.5 million metric

tonne).

India, which imports 79 percent of its crude oil needs, is building underground storages at

Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Mangaluru and Padur in Karnataka to store about

5.33 million metric tonne of crude oil to guard against global price shocks and supply disruptions.

Plan for storage in 750-MW AP solar project

Although their costs have come down rapidly, a big drawback of solar and wind energy is their 'infirm'

or 'erratic' nature they can be produced only when the sun shines or the wind blows hard. Hence,

storing the power produced is vital if the power is to be made available round the clock.

Almost none of the solar plants set up so far include storage. This is because storage costs have yet to

come down, the way production costs have in recent years.

So far, as renewable energy use has grown, the focus in India has mostly been on quick evacuation of the

power produced to the grid rather than storing it. The average storage battery costs about

$450 per kwh, which will raise the cost of power.

India's solar energy programme is taking the next big step by including storage facility in a project being

offered.

For the first time, solar storage will be part of a tender that state run Solar Energy Corporation of India

(SECI) will float shortly for 750 MW of installed capacity at Ananthapuramu Solar Park in Kadapa district

of Andhra Pradesh.

It is the first hybrid tender of the SECI in which every bidder will have to include a small storage system

alongside its solar plant, adding up to a total of 100 MW installed storage capacity.

As renewable capacity increases, the integration process will have to be smoothened and storage will be

a necessity. It is expected that in the next few years as the demand for storage rises and the technology

improves, prices will fall.

Mechanisms for forecasting how much renewable power will be available each day (and informing the

grid in advance) are being put in place. Developers will have to work out how much deviation is there

and how much it will be reduced by battery storage.

The expectation is that storage cost will decline, as has been the case with solar and LEDs.

Mandatory for power firms to buy from solid waste plants

Every day, about 1.68 lakh metric tonne of solid waste is collected across the country.The Government

of India now aims at generating 700 megawatts of electricity from solid waste run plants in the next five

years.

As state governments will have to build plants that can produce energy from solid waste, the ministry

offered to cover ―20 percent‖ of the cost of each plant. This money would come from the Swachh

Bharat Mission.

Of its budget allocation of Rs. 62,000 crore, Rs. 38,000 crore would be spent on building solid waste

management infrastructure across the country. The road to arriving at energy generation is still long but

the ministry has made a significant progress in setting up an effective door to door collection and

transportation of solid waste.


ENERGY PAGE

Government of India amended the Electricity Regulatory Act 2013 and included the ―penalty‖ clause for

companies that violate the new instructions.

Government of India has issued a circular to all power distribution companies, stating it was mandatory

for them to buy electricity from power plants fuelled by solid waste.

In case the companies brush aside the instructions, the government would impose severe penalties on

them, an entitlement that comes from the recent amendment of the Electricity Regulatory Act (2013),

the notice said.

Solar power capacity may cross 20 GW mark in 2017

India will add 3,790 MW of solar power capacity by March 31, 2016 to take the total installed capacity in

India to 9,038 MW, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy said.

Giving a status report on the implementation of various schemes to achieve the target of 100,000 MW

solar capacity by 2022, the Ministry stated that till January 31, a total of 5,248.21 MW has been installed.

The maximum capacity of 1,264 MW is installed in Rajasthan, while Gujarat comes in second place with

1,024 MW.

Of the new capacity that will be added by the end of this fiscal, 322 MW will be added in Rajasthan,

281 MW will be added in Telangana and 276 MW will be added in Tamil Nadu.

The report further said that till January 1, tenders have been prepared to add 15,177 MW of solar

capacity in 2016-17. By the end of the current fiscal, tenders for another 4,431 MW of projects will also

be ready.

Out of the capacity for which tendering will be done, the Ministry expects 12,161 MW to be added in

the next fiscal.

If the projects fructify, India‘s solar power generation capacity will stand at 21,199 MW by April 1, 2017.

In calendar year 2016, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka will contribute to almost

80 per cent of all new capacity addition. With a strong pipeline of state level projects to be

commissioned through 2016 and a significant capacity addition expected through central government

allocations in the first quarter of 2017, the utility scale solar market also seems to be on track to meet

the targets for the next financial year.

Snapshot of Indian Solar Sector

* Solar capacity 5,248 MW

ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE

Industry classification

In its effort to synchronise environmental goals with the government‘s agenda of improving `ease of

doing business', the environment ministry will come out with a fresh classification of industries.

The government had in August last year brought a draft on the new classification, seeking views of

stakeholders including environmentalists and scientists.

Under the new classification, 241 industries will be classified under four categories -Red, Orange, Green

and White (a new class) based on their air, water and soil polluting potential.

Though the first three categories have been in existence for long, the categorisations were made mainly

on the basis of the size of an industry and consumption of resources. The pollution due to emission and

effluents, and its impact on health, was not considered a primary criteria The fresh `uniform'

classification is, however, done by Central Pollution Control Board on the basis of pollution index

criteria and environmental issues such as generation of emission, effluent and hazardous waste.

Under the new classification, certain types of non polluting industries have been taken out from the

‗Green‘ category and been placed in the new ‗white‘ category so that entrepreneurs will not have to

unnecessarily wait for clearances. Similarly, certain industries have been taken out of Red‘ category and

put under ‗Orange‘ category, based on the pollution index.

Industries in the new category which will not require environmental clearances include electric lamp

manufacturing, chalk making from plaster of paris, assembly of bicycles, flavoured betel nuts grinding

packing of powered milk, repairing of electric motors, electronic item assembling among others.

It is expected that the move will help in dealing with red tape as the environmental clearances for

industries will be valid for longer periods. Besides, industries under the new ‗White‘ category will not

require any clearances. The new classification will come out with necessary guidelines where industries

will have to submit their emission effluent data online for round the clock monitoring.

Environmental regulations for thermal plants in India

Government of India would extend the timeline for coal based power plants to comply with the

environment regulation governing emission norms, needed to adhere to stipulated environmental norms

As per industry estimates, the investment cost needed to implement the schemes could be Rs.50 lakh to

1.5 crore per megawatt .

Moreover, domestic capacity to manufacture boilers with relevant technology upgrade is limited to

10 to15 GW per annum versus the demand of 80GW over two years for complying with SOx norms

alone.

The government will likely give more time to the coal based plants for compliance but will keep the

strict norms intact.


ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE

Late last year, the ministry of environment, forest and climate change (MoEFCC) notified norms for coal

based power stations in a bid to cut down emissions of particulate matter (PM10), sulphur dioxide (SO2)

and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and improve the ambient air quality around power plants. Although, the

country has never had established SOx and NOx norms for power stations, the notification mandated

that plants be made adherent to these norms in two years that is 2017.

The current notification mandates technical upgrades even for 20 odd years old plants that are nearing

the end of life cycle.

PRICE DETAILS

Ethane feedstock price in Saudi Arabia

Following four decades of cheap ethane feedstock prices, which gave local petrochemical producers in

Saudi Arabia a massive cost advantage, Saudi Arabia is more than doubling the price of ethane and

increasing that of methane by 67% this year, the Saudi Press Agency has reported.

The move follows the government‘s decision to cut subsidies and raise revenues to fund higher defense

spending and offset the collapse of oil prices.

The price of ethane, as of 2016, rises 133%, to $1.75/million Btu from 75 cts/million Btu, bringing Saudi

ethylene producers in line with those in the United States in terms of feedstock costs.

The new feedstock prices in Saudi Arabia bring average Saudi feedstock costs very close to those in the

United States though with lower valuations for coproducts than typically gained in the US.

The US producers are slightly advantaged for propane cracking.

The Saudi price of methane, used to make products including methanol and ammonia, rises from from

75 cts/million Btu to $1.25 per million Btu.

*****

US spot ethylene trades at seven year low

Spot ethylene hit a seven year low in the United Sates on 13 January,2016 as healthy supply, limited

storage, and overall bearish sentiment in the market weighed on prices.

January spot ethylene traded twice at 16.50 cts per lb. Not since January 2009 have US pt prices for

ethylene fallen below 17.00 cts per lb.

*****

China, which accounts for almost two thirds of the world‘s methanol consumption, set the pace.

Methanol spot prices averaged 72 cts per gal ($241 per metric tonne.) on the US Gulf last December,

down 14 cts per gal, or 16% from November.

*****

NATURAL GAS PRICING POLICY IN INDIA

Natural gas price in India is currently USD 3.82 per million British thermal unit, which will fall to USD

3.15 in April,2016.

A proposal is under consideration for new discoveries and areas which are yet to commence

production; first to provide calibrated marketing freedom; and second, to do so at a pre determined

ceiling price to be discovered on the principle of landed price of alternative fuels.

As per the new formula, gas prices are to be determined on a semi annual basis and calculated based on

a volume weighted average of rates in gas surplus nations of the US, Canada and Russia, based on the

12 month trailing average price with a lag of three months.

Government of India plans to raise natural gas price by about 60 percent for the undeveloped gas

discoveries in difficult areas.

While domestically produced gas is currently priced at an average of rates in gas surplus countries like

the US, Canada and Russia for deep sea discoveries yet to be developed, the government plans to price

them at an average cost of alternative fuels -- naphtha and fuel oil as well as imported LNG.

Gas price in India, is lower than USD 9 per mmBtu in China, USD 10.5 in the Philippines, USD 6.5 in

Indonesia and USD 8 per mmBtu in Thailand and Malaysia.

*****

Since this rate is not enough to incentivise

deep sea exploration, the Government of

India plans to fix price for undeveloped

gas discoveries in deep sea, ultra deep sea

and high-temperature, high-pressure

areas, using average of landed price of

naphtha, fuel oil and liquefied natural gas

(LNG).

The average of imported landed cost of

naphtha, fuel oil and LNG will be the price

that those companies will get who do

exploration and discovery in deep-sea

areas. It will not be an administered price,

as it is for others, but it will be a price

which will be an average price of

naphtha, fuel oil and LNG.

Natural gas price using this methodology

will come to over USD 6 per mmBtu .‗

About two dozen discoveries of ONGC,

Reliance Industries and the Gujarat State

Petroleum Corp (GSPC) in KG Basin are

languishing for want of right price.
