TALK OF THE MONTH

IF THE GOVERNMENT FAILS TO GIVE LEAD , WHAT CAN INDUSTRIES DO ?

Obviously, industries lack confidence to expand capacities or set up new projects in

the absence of clear lead from Government of India about the policies and the programmes. Several chemical industries such as vinyl acetate monomer, alcohol

based acetic acid projects have all been closed down, unable to face the competition from imported product. As a matter of fact, several chemical industries which have been making the chemicals have now started importing them and in

the process becoming trading houses atleast partly.

To be globally competitive, the size of Indian chemical industries must become much larger and they should become more technology intensive. With regard to

technology, less said is better , as Indian chemical industries have little to show by way of research achievements or breakthrough in process developments. While the private sector continues to largely pay lip service to research and development,

with several R & D outfits really functioning as quality control departments or indulging themselves in day today trouble shooting exercise, the massive

investments made by Government of India in the CSIR laboratories have not paid dividends. They seem to be more focused on paper presentation and applying for patents, than towards commercialisation of such technologies.

The import of several bulk

chemicals such as acetic acid, methanol, vinyl acetate monomer etc. are all increasing at alarming

rate. Indian chemical industries is now facing the threat of becoming a

net importer. There is no indication that the

Government of India is aware of such trend and if it would be aware,

it has not given indication that it is concerned.

Whether the government recognises it or not , the fact remains that Indian

chemical industries are now in a crisis situation. This is clearly evident from the fact that the capacity build up in Indian

chemical industries have now nearly halted with only a few projects coming up though a few projects may be in the planning stage.


IF THE GOVERNMENT FAILS TO GIVE LEAD , WHAT CAN INDUSTRIES DO ?

The energy crisis faced by the country now is telling upon the confidence of the

chemical industries in India . With production of crude oil, natural gas and coal nearly stagnating even as the demand are steadily going up, the industry faces an

uncertain situation with regard to the energy source. It appears that all that the government can do in the energy front is to import fuel resources and struggle to find foreign exchange to pay for such imports.

The Government of India is guilty of not working out an appropriate and alternate

energy policy in tune with the strength and weakness of India. While the exploration efforts for oil and gas are moving at snail‘s pace, government is toying with the idea of promoting number of uncertain projects like shale gas and coal

bed methane,where there are serious environmental and other issues which have not been carefully evaluated and studied.

There are obvious energy

alternatives appropriate to the country‘s climate and other

conditions, such as off shore wind energy, algae bio fuel and

jatropha bio fuel projects. Sadly, the Government of

India is not evincing adequate interests in such suggestions

for whatever reasons. Detailed note submitted to the Prime minister of India and other

senior ministers by Chennai based Chemical Industries

Association have not even been acknowledged.

Indian chemical industries today desperately need lead

from the government with clarity about its long term energy strategies and there is

a need for a big push for R & D and manufacturing

activity. In the absence of such

initiatives from the government, Indian chemical

industries remain helpless


ALARMING INCREASE IN IMPORT OF

CHEMICALS IN RECENT YEARS

The import of several bulk chemicals have been increasing steadily in India. Several units producing acetic acid by ethyl alcohol route, vinyl acetate monomer and others have closed down the plants leading to surge in imports.

What is even more disconcerting is the fact that the hitherto manufacturers

themselves have turned into importers and traders. A few examples of steep increase in imports are given below

ENERGY OPTIONS FOR INDIA

Impending energy crisis in India

Indian production of coal is less than 600 million tonnes per annum and import is around 80 million metric tonnes per annum. Production may go up at 2% per annum in the next few years. Indian production of crude oil is around 30 million

metric tonnes per annum and import is around 160 million metric tonnes per annum. Production may go up at 1% per annum in the next few years. Indian

production of natural gas is around 35 million metric tonnes per annum and import is around 14 million metric tonnes per annum. Production may go up at 2% per annum in the next few years.

This would make Indian economy highly vulnerable to the international energy scenario and price pressure. Such impending energy crisis have to be avoided by strong and urgent policy measures, plans and strategies, which should involve

identification and implementation of projects for appropriate energy source that would not lead to outflow of foreign exchange and current account deficit.

Approach to overcome impending energy crisis

Such alternative indigenous energy sources have to be identified and developed based on India‘s strength and opportunities

The targeted indigenous alternative energy source may be the following.

* Algae based biofuel

* Jatropha based biofuel

* Onshore wind power

* Offshore wind power

* Solar power

* Hydro power

* Nuclear power

* Coal gas

* Coal bed methane / Shale gas

If India were to maintain GDP growth of 8% per annum, given the present situation, Indian import

during the year 2018 have to increase to the level of coal around

150 million metric tonnes, crude oil around 260 million metric tonnes and more than double that of

natural gas. In such scenario, import will increase to alarming

level.



Jatropha biofuel as alternative energy source

Jatropha is a drought resistant crop and has a long life. Due to the tropical conditions, jatropha is an ideal crop for India. Jatropha oil produced from seeds

has been well proved to be suitable for mixing with petroleum diesel. Use of jatropha oil as a direct fuel in tractors have also been well established.

By promoting large scale cultivation of jatropha crop, there will be several tangible

benefits for the country such as utilization of land hitherto not used due to water scarcity, huge employment potential , substituting petroleum diesel to some extent.

Earlier, several companies entered into memorandum of understanding with state governments to establish and promote jatropha plantations on government-owned

wastelands or by contract farming with small and medium farmers. Around 9.28 lakhs hectares of wastelands were cultivated with Jatropha in several states in the

last few years. Around 20 jatropha biodiesel plants of varying capacity ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 metric tonnes per year were set up in India.

Most of the facilities are now NOT in operation, due to poor economics and marketing constraints. There has been no commercial sale of jatropha biodiesel

across the biodiesel purchase centres set up by Government of India, as the government notified biodiesel purchase price is below the estimated biodiesel finished production cost of around Rs 40 per litre of jatropha bio diesel. Whatever

little biodiesel produced is now sold to the unorganized sector (irrigation pumps, agricultural usage, diesel generators etc) and to experimental projects carried out

by automobiles and transport companies.



There is possibility of producing a few million tonnes of jatropha biofuel in the country, which can be mixed with the diesel to reduce the diesel consumption. With

greater R &D initiatives, cultivation and production of jatropha biofuel can be well optimized. During the production of jatropha biofuel by transesterification process from jatropha seeds, glycerine would be produced as by product. Many value added

important chemicals such as epichlorohydrin, propylene,glycol etc.can be produced from glycerine, offering investment opportunities of several hundred crores of

rupees. Government subsidy policies for jatropha biofuel is flawed . While country spends

million of dollars in importing crude oil, government is unwilling to give adequate subsidy for jatropha biofuel which is appropriate fuel for India. It is sad the

initiatives of jatropha biofuel industry have been killed by unimaginative government policies and priorities.

Algae biofuel as alternative energy source

Algae is the third generation biofuel and can be an ideal solution for India‘s impending fuel crisis, as India‘s long coastal region and tropical climate can

facilitate the cultivation of algae in India in mass scale. Algae is very appropriate for India,in view of India‘s enormous diversity, vast coastline, sufficient solar energy as well as the fact that the oil yield from algae is in order of magnitude,

higher than those for traditional oilseeds . Further, algae does not compete with food crops for land availability. Algae can grow in places away from forests, thus

minimizing the damages caused to the eco and food chain systems.



Algae is potential fuel source that can produce biodiesel, bioethanol, methane and hydrogen. Algae is a complete protein with essential amino acids.It contains high

amount of simple and complex carbohydrates . It contains an extensive fatty acid profile, including Omega 3 and Omega 6 . Oil extracted from the algae is produced in quantities up to 200 times greater than from traditional biofuel crops such as

soya bean plants.

Farming algae does not require good cropland. Algae can grow in salt water, freshwater or even contaminated water, at sea or in ponds and on land not suitable for food production. Carbon dioxide, nutrient and sunlight are the only inputs for

the cultivation and growth of algae. Algae cultivation will solve global warming problems to some extent, as algae will absorb carbon dioxide.

More than 100 firms across the world are reported to be working on cultivation and harvesting of algae biomass and production of algae biofuel. Large scale production

for algae-based biofuel and chemicals is expected to start in developed countries between 2014 and 2020.

Cutting the cost of production of algae oil is essential to increase the demand.

There are research efforts in progress such as identification of right strains of algae and efficient method of oil extraction .India has to set up a research and development organization dedicated to algae biofuel. It is necessary to create cadre

of scientists and technologists in dedicated R&D institution to take up long term R&D work on algae technology.

To reduce the gestation time for launching the algae bio fuel project, it is necessary to acquire technical collaboration from abroad . It would be appropriate

to fix a target for producing several million tonnes of algae biofuel by 2022 in tune with the global trend .

Onshore wind power as alternative energy source

The present wind power potential in India is more than 50,000 MW (on shore) .Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET) has identified 233 potential sites in

India.

As against such potential, present installed capacity for wind power in

India is less than 18000 MW. What particularly causes concern is that the

capacity utilization of wind power projects in India is less than 40%. This is due to the seasonal variation in the

wind speed and consequent fall in wind power production during several

months in a year.



Wind power projects should be set up to utilize the potential for onshore wind power in India, atleast to the extent of another 10,000 MW by 2022., Research

efforts should be encouraged to produce wind power even with low wind speed and the knowledge available in this regard should be availed from abroad.

Offshore wind power as alternative energy source

Speed of wind in offshore areas is much better compared to the wind speed on land. Capacity factors (utilization rates) are considerably higher for offshore power projects than for onshore locations.

India has around 7000 kms of coastline. There is no offshore wind energy project

in India at present. Offshore wind speed is high and it is available through out the year and the economics of offshore wind power is attractive in Indian conditions, compared to other forms of energy. Cost of setting up offshore wind mill is 1.5 to

2 times higher than an onshore site.

Offshore wind power technology is well developed abroad and there is no constraint in acquiring technology. India should set up a target of atleast 20000 MW of offshore wind power by 2022. In India, the top areas in offshore wind potential

are the coastlines of Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.

Solar power as alternative energy source While Government of India has fixed solar power target of 22000 MW (both grid

based and off grid based), for the period 2022, the progress towards the target is inadequate .

Europe is the leader in offshore wind energy. The

total offshore wind power capacity in Europe in waters off Belgium,

Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, the

Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom is now 6,040

MW in 58 wind farms, up from 4,336 MW in 2012.

More than 100 GW (or 100,000 MW) of offshore projects are proposed or

under development in Europe.



To promote and strengthen the solar power industry and to realize the full

potential, India should build polycrystalline silicon production facility immediately. For 5000 tonnes per annum of polycrystalline silicon, required investment is several hundred crores of rupees.

Each state should develop solar power park and dedicated research institutes to

optimize solar power technology.

The cost of solar power has come down in recent time, due to international price fall of

polycrystalline silicon due to global recession. However, price of

polycrystalline silicon is likely to go up in the global market, with the improvement of the global

economy. For every MW of solar power, 10 tonnes of polycrystalline

silicon is required. Indian solar power project have become highly vulnerable, as there is no

production of polycrystalline silicon in India.

Hydro power as alternative

energy source Analysis of the tariffs of some of

the country‘s largest and new hydro stations reveal that they

generate electricity at a cost much higher than most thermal plants. In most cases, hydro

power has become expensive due to geological surprises and

the consequent rise in capital expenditure. Environmental

issues have also resulted in cost escalation of many hydro projects. Since developers are

allowed to recover extra cost incurred on implementation of

these projects under the prevailing dispensation, consumers have to bear the

burden of cost escalation.



To overcome such issues, special subsidy schemes and other incentives for new hydro power projects have to be examined.

India‘s abundant thorium reserves is a big advantage, which has to be exploited for

nuclear power generation by strong R & D efforts. It is reasonable to have target of 5300 MW of additional nuclear power by 2022.

Shale gas/coal bed methane gas

Coal bed methane projects are in operation in the eastern part of the country. Shale gas projects are still in exploratory stage in India. Both the above projects call for use of two major stressed resources namely land and water. The

environmental issues particularly due to underground water depletion are serious.

Biomass power as alternative energy source

Biomass power producers in India are in a quandary with input costs, operations and

maintenance costs increasing and tariff structure remaining virtually stagnant, thereby making many projects across the

country financially unviable. Nearly half of the installed capacity of around 1100 MW

across several states are reported to be lying idle. The producers use wide range of agriculture waste such as rice and coconut

husk and forest waste as feedstock and the prices of these are firming up.

The current tariff per unit given by the government is inadequate.

The biomass projects would be financially

viable, if higher tariff would be given. Nuclear power

Presently, nuclear reactors are being built of

capacity 5300 MW at Kudankulam, Kalpakkam, Kakrapar (Gujarat) and Rawatbhata, (Rajasthan). In the recent

past, nuclear power projects have suffered due to low capacity utilisation in view of

constraints in feedstock.



There is serious objection from local communities for Coal bed methane project now being planned in India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, due to threat of underground

water depletion Both shale gas and coal bed methane projects have to be viewed with caution.

Coal gasification

India has 293 billion tonnes of coal lying under its soil, but, as is now well known, there are environmental problems with its exploitation. However, underground coal

gasification based on unexploited coal reserves (may be due to problems in excavation and mining) can be used for coal gas production. The large volume of

coal gas production can reduce the import need for natural gas substantially. Coal India has the bore hole data and have also identified the strata where the gas exists.

Considering India‘s potential coal reserves, production of gas could be 3 trillion cubic metres, based on 5% coal reserves.

The technology has to be acquired from abroad and pilot projects have to be set up. While Government of India has taken some initiatives, the projects are moving

at snail's pace. There is need for great urgency in setting up coal gasification projects , which can go a long way in reducing the dependence on imported natural gas. At present, there are around 30 coal gasification projects under pipeline in

China.

Underground coal gasification


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Global resource of shale gas

The ―technically recoverable‖ global shale gas resources is reported to be around at

6,600trillion cubic feet.

High in methane content, shale gas lies trapped in little bubbles inside shale

rock formation, extensively found across different sedimentary basins including coalfields.

Though the energy potential of shale gas has been known, its extraction has taken off in the last decade with innovations in extraction techniques such as

hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling.

Though shale gas has changed the energy dynamics in the US, its exploration is yet to take off in Europe and other regions due to environmental concerns.

India has a draft shale gas policy.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

The significant identified shale gas resources in the world, apart from those of the

US are the following

Country Quantity in cubic feet ( in trillion)

China 1,275

Argentina 774

Mexico 681

South Africa 485

Australia 396

Canada 388

Libya 290

Algeria 231

Brazil 226

Poland 187

France 180

Other regions with potential resources include Russia, central Asia, the Middle East,

south-east Asia and central Africa.

Scenario in USA

The US Energy Information Administration's Annual Energy Outlook 2013 estimated that US natural gas production will increase from 23 trillion cubic feet in 2011 to

33.1 trillion cubic feet in 2040, a 44% increase. Almost all of this increased natural gas production in USA is due to the projected

growth in shale gas production, likely to grow from 7.8 trillion cubic feet in 2011 to 16.7 trillion cu ft in 2040.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Using hydraulic fracturing, which critics say risks polluting groundwater, has

boosted U.S. natural-gas production 21 percent in the last three years.

Environmental issues in shale gas production in USA The fracking carried out for the production of shale gas in USA has sparked a fierce

debate about the impact of drilling for oil and gas, in both built up areas and pristine wilderness. Opponents of fracking often portray it as a dirty and dangerous

form of oil and gas production.

Petrochemical projects from shale gas in USA US is starting to increase its use of shale gas as an energy source, instead of crude

oil.

In the chemical industry alone, more than 50 projects have been announced in North America in the past two years to capitalize on the new competitive advantage of abundant supplies of natural gas and natural gas liquids. Such projects include

new ethylene crackers, derivative products, methanol, ammonia, on-purpose ethylene coproducts and others. Overall chemical industry growth could far outpace

demand-driven forecasts, if these projects would come onstream Low-cost ethane from shale gas has dramatically advantaged ethylene production in

the United States and attracted a flood of capital investment. Eight new ethane crackers are slated to come online in USA between 2016 and 2018. Together, they

will increase US ethylene production capacity by 6.7 million metric tonnes per year.

Scenario in Europe

Europe's greater population density and stronger environmental lobby make drilling for shale gas more difficult than in the U.S.

France and Bulgaria have banned hydraulic fracturing, the controversial process that uses water, chemicals and sand to break open shale rock.

Scenario in Poland

Exxon, Chevron Corp. and ConocoPhillips acquired rights in Poland, anticipating that Poland would lead the development of shale fields, similar to those that happened

in North America's energy industry . While Poland has granted 109 licenses, just 13 wells have been completed out of

127 promised by explorers by 2017.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Factors creating the ‘shale gas revolution’ in the United States as

compared with Europe

Conditions in the United States which generated the

‘shale gas revolution’

Conditions in Europe which could inhibit replication

Geology

1. Large shallow, material plays, implying large technically

recoverable resources

2. Plenty of drill core data available to allow explorers to

find the ‘sweet spots’ on the plays.

1. Shale plays are smaller, deeper, less material and with a

high clay content, making fracking more difficult

2. Very limited core data, much of which has been ‘lost’.

Regulation

1. 2005 Energy Act explicitly excludes hydraulic fracturing

from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Water

Act.

2. The 1980 Energy Act gave tax credits amounting to

50 cents per million BTUs. It also introduced the

Intangible Drilling Cost Expensing Rule, which covered

(typically) more than 70% of the well development costs,

crucial for small firms with a limited cash flow.

3. Property rights in the United States make the shale gas

the property of the landowner, creating a financial

incentive for private owners to allow the disruptions

associated with shale operations. Also, the population is

used to proximity to oil and gas operations

4. Pipeline access is based upon ‘common carriage,’ so

gas producers have some access to existing pipelines,

transforming the economics of shale gas production

5. The US is a ‘commodity supply gas market’, i.e. a lot of

buyers and sellers and good price transparency. Gas is

easy to sell.

1. Very strict regulations regarding environmental issues

and water. For example, both Poland and the UK

Environment Agency require full disclosure of fracking

fluids. Also, ‘groundwater protection and waste treatment

are stronger [than the US] in the UK.. However,

unconventional hydrocarbons are not even mentioned in

the petroleum regulations. Regulatory uncertainties are

slowing down shale gas development in many countries.

2. Only Hungary has some small tax credits for

unconventional operations. Otherwise, there are no

financial dispensations for unconventional gas.

3. Property rights reside with the state and landowners

receive no compensation or reward. This is in a context,

where shale gas operations are extremely disruptive.

Onshore oil and gas operations are not common in

Europe. However, shale gas operations can create

significant levels of employment, which may enhance

their attractiveness to local communities.

4. Pipeline access is based upon ‘third part access,’ which

means, if the pipeline is full, any gas suppliers must build

their own pipeline to access markets.

5. Europe is a ‘project supply market’ with few buyers and

sellers and poor price transparency. Transaction costs to

buy and sell gas are high.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Conditions in the United States which generated the

‘shale gas revolution’

Conditions in Europe which could inhibit replication

I Industry

1. The industry is dominated by small, entrepreneurial

companies..

1. While there are some small operators, the industry

traditionally was dominated by large players. This

could have interesting consequences. For example, in

Poland, where shale gas is seen as the key to

‘liberation’ from dependence on Russian gas imports

(65%),it is possible that much of the shale gas

produced could be exported via the Russian-

controlled pipeline network..

2. The majority of the work was done by a dynamic,

highly competitive service industry. At the height of

operations in the Barnet Play in 2008, 199 rigs were

operating

3. The system is used to license large areas for

exploration with fairly vague work programme

commitments, which is what is needed when dealing

with shale plays.

2. The service industry is an American-dominated. In

July 2010, there were only 34 lands rigs in all of

western Europe. It has been suggested that drilling a

shale gas well in Poland costs three times as much as

in the United States, reflecting the lack of service

industry competition.. Another estimate suggests

drilling a shale well in Europe costs $6.5–14 million

compared to $4 million on the Marcellus.

3. Licensing acreage traditionally covers relatively

small areas with strict work programmes.

Research

1. In 1982, the US government began extensive

funding of R&D by the Gas Technology Institute into

‘low permeability hydrocarbon bearing formations’.

The results were widely disseminated to the industry.

1. According to the CEO of ExxonMobil, the

technology does not translate well into European

geology.. The EU Commission shows no willingness to

invest in basic R&D for shale gas, arguing that it

should be left to the market.

Cost of operation The cost of drilling a 2,000-meter horizontal well in the U.S. averages $3.9 million.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Scenario in China

China currently has no commercial production of shale gas. A U.S. Energy Information Administration report said that China has 1,275 trillion

cubic feet (tcf) of technically recoverable shale gas resources -- by far the largest in the world, followed by the United States with 862 tcf and Argentina with 774 tcf.

China aims to raise the annual production capacity of shale gas to 15 billion to 30 billion cubic meters by 2020.

The potential reserves of shale gas resources in Chongqing region is estimated at 12 750 billion cubic meters, while the recoverable reserves of shale gas is

expected to reach 2050 billion cubic meters there.

PetroChina and Shell start extracting shale gas in Sichuan China‘s key gas producer PetroChina Company Ltd and Royal Dutch Shell PLC have

started experimentally extracting shale gas at the Lu County, Luzhou city in Sichuan province.

Their first joint venture well, named Yang 201-H2, produced 60 000 cubic meters of shale gas. Both side started drilling the shale gas well in December 2010.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Petrofrontier will operate the first phase of the programme, while Statoil has

secured options to operate from the second exploration phase in addition to increased ownership interests from 25 to 65 percent of PetroFrontier's interests.

Shell‘s plans for shale gas

Royal Dutch Shell Plc said that potential for shale gas development in Europe is limited by the region‘s regulations and its dense population.

Shell expects expansion in shale and tight gas -- which is locked in rock that is difficult and expensive to break -- in North America, China and Australia and has

signed a deal in Ukraine.

Shell, based in The Hague, applied for permits to drill for oil in Arctic regions . The emphasis is on Alaska and to a certain extent Greenland and in Russia some

possibilities may arise.

The company agreed to invest as much as $800 million to explore for oil, natural gas and shale gas in Ukraine. Shell will cooperate with Ukraine‘s Ukrgasvydobuvannia to explore six license areas covering about 1,300 square

kilometers (500 square miles) in the Kharkiv region. Drilling of the first deep exploration well would begin this year.

Indian scenario

According to the oil ministry, India has a potential resource base of 300 to 1200 trillion cubic metres of shale gas. The government has identified Cambay,Assam-Arakan, Gondawana, KG onshore, Cauvery onshore and the Indo-

Gangetic basins for carving out blocks to tap the fuel. A United States Geological Survey report puts India‘s shale resources at a more modest 65 trillion cubic feet.

Scenario in Australia Norwegian oil and gas firm Statoil

has entered into partnership with PetroFrontier Corp to explore for

shale gas in Australia. Statoil said the partners could drill

10 to 20 wells by 2017, with Statoil committing $25 million for the first

phase of the exploration programme in Autralia's Northern territories.

FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Six shale gas blocks may come up for bidding in India

India may auction six shale gas blocks in the first round expected in 2013.

Of these, the two most prolific blocks with estimated reserves of 50 billion cubic metres, are in the Ranigunj coalfields of the Damodar basin in West Bengal. The others are in Jharia, also in the Damodar basin and in the Cauvery basin.

Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDI).has handed over data package

for six blocks to the Directorate-General of Hydrocarbons. The two blocks in Ranigunj are most prolific with a reserve potential of 50 billion cubic metres.

CMPDI was awarded a Rs 40-crore contract to prepare the data package for the shale assets.The institute had prepared the data packages of the 33 coal bed

methane (CBM) assets, auctioned so far by the Government of India.

RIL, Cairn and Essar put shale gas exploration on priority list

Indian energy firms Reliance Industries (RIL) Cairn and Essar have put shale oil and

gas exploration on their priority list, encouraged with forecasts that the shale boom in North America will dislodge OPEC's hegemony over global energy trade.

RIL has three upstream joint ventures in USA with Chevron Corp, Pioneer Natural Resources and Carrizo Oil and Gas Inc and a midstream joint venture with Pioneer

in the shale gas sector and it has invested in a combined $5.7 billion in these ventures. Last year, for the full fiscal year, its share of gross JV production stood at

118.5 Bcfe — a year-on-year growth of 127%. While RIL may ship a portion of the shale gas produced in its acreages in the US to

India, Cairn says it has seen a significant potential for shale oil and gas in the Barmer block, which is home to the country's largest onland oil block.

Shale gas reserves have been found to be maximum at

Cauvery basin. ONGC is likely to take up a project on a pilot

scale. New Delhi based National

Geophysical Research Institute and the Geological

Survey of India have been carrying out studies to identify new sources of shale

gas.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Cairn India has not done any specific shale work in Barmer as yet. To get a clearer picture, the company need to drill appraisal wells.

Essar too is impressed about the shale gas prospects in its coal bed methane block in West Bengal.

ONGC to start drilling for shale gas in Gujarat

ONGC has plans to start drilling for the unconventional hydrocarbon resource in Gujarat.The Cabinet committee on economic affairs had allowed ONGC and Oil India

Ltd. to tap shale resources in blocks allotted to them on a nomination basis. ONGC plans to spud a well for shale gas in Cambay basin (in Gujarat).

Shale gas exploration technology

Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world and it is primarily composed of clay and fragments of other minerals such as quartz and calcite.

Shale can be the source, reservoir and the seal for natural gas. Shale formations

normally have low permeability (limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through the shale formation) and normally require stimulation techniques (such as fracturing) to economically produce shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas that is

attached to, or "adsorbed" onto, organic matter or is contained in thin, porous silt or sand beds interbedded in the shale.

Shale gas is considered an unconventional source as the gas is contained in

difficult-to-produce reservoirs, which require special completion, stimulation and / or production techniques to achieve economic production.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Shale gas can be produced from vertical and directional wells. However, due to the low permeability that is characteristic of shale formations, horizontal drilling and

stimulation techniques such as multi-stage hydraulic fracturing are often required to achieve economic production. There are two technologies presently used mainly horizontal cracking and hydraulic

fracturing.

Hydraulic Fracturing

A specially designed fracturing fluid is pumped under high pressure into the shale formation. The fluid consists primarily of water along with a proppant (usually sand)

and about 2% or less of chemical additives. This process creates fractures in rock deep underground that are `propped' open by

the sand, which allows the natural gas to flow into the well.

Hydraulic fracturing involves the pumping of a fracturing fluid into a formation at a calculated, predetermined rate and pressure to generate fractures or cracks in the target formation. For shale gas development, fracture fluids are primarily water-

based fluids mixed with additives, which help the water to carry sand proppant into the fractures. The sand proppant is needed to ―prop‖ open the fractures once the

pumping of fluids has stopped.


FOCUS ON SHALE GAS

Once the fracture has initiated, additional fluids are pumped into the wellbore to continue the development of the fracture and to carry the proppant deeper into the

formation. The additional fluids are needed to maintain the downhole pressure necessary to accommodate the increasing length of opened fracture in the formation.

Environmental issues

The controversial aspect of the shale gas drilling technologies is the impact on the environment

Shale gas is obtained by hydraulically fracturing the rock and requires large

quantity of water and chemicals to extract, which environmentalists say can contaminate groundwater supplies.

Horizontal fracking to recover the shale gas requires enormous volume of water and chemicals. Huge ponds or tanks are also needed to store the chemically laden

‗flowback water‘ that comes back up the hole after wells have been fractured.

A single lateral shaft requires 2m to 4m gallons of water and 15,000 to 60,000 gallons of chemicals. The technology threatens severe pollution of groundwater.

However, at this stage, the risks are uncertain as technology development efforts

may overcome some of the existing problems Prognosis

Shale gas exploration calls for use of two major stressed resources — land and

water — and experts have been repeatedly cautioning about India becoming over enthusiastic about shale.

It takes about 3-4 million gallons of water to be put into each well for the ‗hydraulic fracturing‘, to release the gas locked in shale deposits. This water comes back to

the surface contaminated and needs to be treated before it is let out. In a report it brought out in June, 2013 , The Energy and Resources Institute

(TERI), underlined the dangers of using groundwater — needed for ‗hydraulic fracturing‘ to release gas from shale. TERI raised a question: ‗Should we further

endanger a rapidly depleting resource (water) on which all life depends?‘ Its answer was ―a resounding NO‖.

A few months ago, the Director-Exploration of ONGC said that shale gas prospects in India should not be ―hyped-up‖ and unlike the US, India has its ―own set of

problems.‖


With UCIL‘s 3,000 metric tonnes per day mine-cum-processing plant at Tummalapalle in Andhra Pradesh poised to commence production, indigenous production of uranium would improve to an extent.

UCIL, the sole domestic fuel provider to the country‘s indigenously-built nuclear

reactors, is also to start a uranium mining-cum-processing project in the adjacent area of Kanampalle in Andhra Pradesh.

However, there is tardy progress of UCIL‘s mining activity at its Mawtahbah uranium project in Meghalaya, as despite landowners‘ readiness to part with their holdings in favour of the corporation and receiving of central government clearances, the state

government is delaying grant of land lease to UCIL for the project to take off. Unlike thermal power plants where the cost of coal, including its transportation, made

up 70% of the generation cost, in case of nuclear power, the cost of uranium, including its transportation, worked out to be only 10% of the plant‘s operating cost.

Therefore, the impact of cost in terms of imported uranium would not be much. The Nuclear Power Corporation (NPC), which has been operating 20 nuclear power

plants in the country, is currently generating around 4,780 MW electricity. Seven more NPC reactors (power plants) are under construction and would be adding

another 5,300 MW power in the next few years. Among the seven plants are two units of Koodankulam nuclear power station (the first

unit of which is ready for power generation), two units at Kakarpar in Gujarat, two units at Rawatbhata in Rajasthan and the plutonium-based fast breeder reactor at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu.

With free trade of uranium

possible, depending on the country from which uranium is bought,

imported uranium is working out to be 20-25%

cheaper than the cost at which UCIL has been producing it in the

country.

INDIA’S URANIUM SCENARIO Despite the Uranium Corporation of India (UCIL) trying its best to enhance

production, India has been importing around 50% of its uranium needs to feed the Nuclear Power Corporation of India‘s (NPCIL) 20 reactors.

BLM is already beginning to wind down operations and sell off helium as a part of the Responsible Helium Administration and Stewardship Act, passed by the US

House in April, 2013.However, the US Senate is yet to pass its own version of the bill. And imminent closure is expected to cause shortages for several industries—including medical equipment users and manufacturers, aerospace and electronics.

Last year, industry—in advance of the dwindling supply—put customers on 70–80% allocation.

Without the reserve, a national and global shortage of helium is inevitable, as are significantly higher prices.

However, a source close to the matter believes the shutdown‘s consequences are so

great that the US government will keep the reserve open, at least for the time being.

―Simply closing the reserve and stopping the flow of helium would be a disservice to US taxpayers, a serious blow to critical users—such as hospitals and research

laboratories that depend on helium sourced from the reserve—and a self-inflicted setback to the US economy,‖ says industry source.

future of the federal helium programme.

LIKELY GLOBAL SHORTAGE OF HELIUM Helium supplies would face an abrupt drop unless US Congress would pass legislation to continue operating the US Federal Helium Reserve

(Amarillo, TX). The reserve, operated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), supplies more than one-third of the world‘s crude

helium supply. A 1996 law requires BLM to pay down $1.3 billion in debt from crude helium sales but does not provide for continued operations after the debt is paid.


PLANT CLOSURES

Sponge iron plants shut operations in Karnataka

In Karnataka, out of the 57 mines approved, only 14 mines are operating with an annual production of 13.77 mt against the total demand of around 35 mt.

Over 30 sponge iron plants in Karnataka have shut operations due to shortage of iron ore, impacting small and medium steel companies such as Kalyani Steel,

Sathavahana Ispat and Kirloskar Ferrous.

Moreover, because of high input costs and non availability of raw material, some steel producers have been forced to underutilise their capacities as they, too, stare

at a possible shutdown of their operations in the near future. The mining operations in Karnataka resumed recently after a year-long ban

imposed by the Supreme Court. *****

Closure of TiO2 plant in Singapore Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha (ISK; Osaka) will close the titanium dioxide (TiO2) plant of

its ISK Singapore subsidiary.

The permanent closure of the unit forms part of a restructuring of the group‘s inorganic chemicals portfolio. 50,000- metric tonnes per year chloride-route TiO2 plant has been losing money and that the company decided to consolidate

production at its Yokkaichi, Japan, plant.

ISK operates two TiO2 plants at Yokkaichi: a 85,000- metric tonnes per year sulfate-process facility and a 70,000- metric tonnes per year chloride process unit. The chloride-process plant is working at full capacity.

According to the Karnataka Iron and Steel Manufacturers

Association, almost half of the 60 sponge iron

plants have shut down and several others have suspended operations,

partially as mining ban in the state has crippled

mining operations and created a shortage of raw material for steel

units.


PLANT CLOSURES

Total to close Carling cracker unit

Total will permanently close its 340,000- metric tonnes per year ethylene plant at Carling, France. The Carling steam cracker is expected to shut down in the second half of 2015.

Total will, however, continue operating the site and is preparing a €160-million

($210.8 million) investment by 2016 to develop new activities at Carling and restore the site‘s competitiveness.

Total plans to develop the Carling platform and position it as a European hub for polymers and for the hydrocarbon resins made by the company‘s Cray Valley

(Exton, PA) subsidiary. The platform will host, for Cray Valley, a decision making center; R&D facilities; and a production unit for C4 resins designed to capture growing demand for touch-screen additives, high-performance tires, and lubricants.

The site‘s existing adhesives production unit will be transformed to produce

transparent resins.

The polymers portion of the investment includes the creation of a polypropylene compounding unit, to meet demand for lightweighting solutions from the automotive sector. The site‘s existing polystyrene (PS) capacity will be

strengthened, and Carling will become Total‘s main PS production center. Polyethylene (PE) capacity at Carling will also be upgraded, to better meet demand

for advanced applications in medical and cable markets. ******

AkzoNobel to cease production of organic peroxides at Dutch site

AkzoNobel has announced plans to phase out production of organic peroxides at the

company‘s Deventer, Netherlands, site by the end of 2016. The site‘s production will be moved to other company locations in Europe, North

America and China over the next three years. The site‘s regional R&D and technology center will remain operational.

Deventer is home to one of AkzoNobel‘s two biggest organic peroxide plants in Europe. The other is at Mons, Belgium. The company has 11 organic peroxide

manufacturing plants worldwide, including the Deventer facility. Organic peroxides form part of AkzoNobel‘s functional chemicals portfolio within its specialty chemicals

business. Organic peroxides are used in the automotive, rubber, packaging and polymer industries, as well as in the construction and consumer product sectors.

The organic peroxides market faces overcapacity. The closure will not alter AkzoNobel‘s overall supply of organic peroxides.

SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

ANTI DUMPING PAGE

POLYSILICON BLAST IN SAMSUNG ENGINEERING

The Samsung Group (Seoul) says it has fired Ki-Seok Park, CEO of Samsung Engineering, following a fatal accident at a polysilicon plant at Ulsan, South Korea, in late July.

Samsung says it is holding Ki-Seok Park accountable for a water tank

explosion that killed 3 employees and injured more than 10. The 10,000- metric tonnes per year plant is being built for SMP, a joint

venture between Samsung Fine Chemicals and MEMC at a Samsung Fine Chemicals site and is scheduled to be onstream this year. The plant was

undergoing tests when a water tank burst during a stress test.

TERT-BUTYLHYDROQUINONE

China‘s Ministry of Commerce (MOC) has launched an investigation into import of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) from India.

MOC has received requests from Chinese TBHQ producers, accusing Indian manufacturers of dumping the product on the Chinese market and calling for

an inquiry. The ministry will consider whether Indian companies have sold TBHQ at an artificially low price in China and any consequences that the

action may have brought to Chinese businesses. The investigation is expected to take at least a year and may be extended to

Feb. 2015.

TBHQ is an organic compound used in the food industry as antioxidant for vegetable oils, many edible animal fats, roasted food, fried food and other meat products. It is also used as a stabilizer for insecticides, as well as an

intermediate for dyes and pharmaceuticals.

Cylcohexane based process

Adipic acid is produced from a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone called "KA oil".

The Ketone Alcohol oil is oxidized with nitric acid to give adipic acid, via a multistep pathway.

ADIPIC ACID – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY Adipic acid is white crystalline solid, which is slightly soluble in water.It is stable

under ordinary conditions.


ADIPIC ACID – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Alternate process

* From benzene via cyclohexanol by partial (hydrogenation and hydration (Asahi Chemical process)

* From phenol

* From butadiene by carbo alkoxylation (a process not yet commercialized) Asahi Kasei

Asahi Kasei uses a route proceeding via cyclohexene to convert benzene to

cyclohexanol. Asahi Kasei has licensed its adipic acid technology. Process of Solutia

Solutia has developed a one step process (alpaOx), to manufacture phenol from

benzene, using nitrous oxide for the oxidation step.

Thus, by coupling phenol production and adipic acid production, Solutia has developed a process with no net production of nitrous oxide and potentially good production economics for both phenol and adipic acid.

Recycle of nitric acid

A French company has licensed and implemented a technology patented by Dupont that recycles N2O to produce nitric acid by burning the gas at high temperature in

the presence of steam.

Process developed by Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) The process involves oxidation of cyclohexane using a modified recyclable cobalt

catalyst said to be environmentally friendly, since no nitric acid or nitrous oxide is involved.

In this process, waste nylon6/6 is used as feedstock, which is decomposed by sulphuric acid and then adipic acid is produced.

This kind of process substitutes a traditional manufacturing process, in which nitric

acid is used and thus reducing the emission of N2O. Adipic acid from sugar

Currently, adipic acid is produced from petroleum feed stock. One of the most

promising approaches for eco friendly adipic acid production uses a series of enzymes as an assembly line to convert cheap sugars into adipic acid.



However, one critical enzyme in the series called a 2-hydroxyadipate dehydrogenase has never been produced leaving a missing link in the assembly

line. In 2008 and 2009, researchers including Hai Yan Duke, professor of pathology,

identified a genetic mutation in brain tumours that alters the function of an enzyme, known as an isocitrate dehydrogenase the missing link. They used it to

create the green adipic acid through a series of steps.

Efforts of other companies for bio based adipic acid

Several other firms are pursuing renewable routes to adipic acid, including

Verdezyne, a Carlsbad, US based company that recently received investment from DSM‘s venture capital arm. Verdezyne‘s fermentation route uses yeast and plant oil feedstock.

BioAmber (Minneapolis), a industrial biotech company building a succinic acid plant

in Ontario,recently licensed biobased adipic acid production technology from Celexion (Cambridge, MA).

Rennovia (Menlo Park, CA), founded by researchers at Symyx Technologies, is developing a chemo-catalytic process for production of adipic acid.

Biobased succinic acid producer BioAmber (Minneapolis) has licensed technology from bioengineering company Celexion (Cambridge, MA) related to the production

of adipic acid and other chemical intermediates.

Indian producer Adipic acid is not produced in India presently.

Patent for bio based adipic acid

DSM filed the first patent for its renewable adipic acid production process

in 2009. The company‘s know how in engineering

a succinic acid production process with yeast is applicable to bio based route to adipic acid. Both are carried out at a low

pH, enabling the recovery of acid directly from the broth, instead of first

producing a salt. This translates into lower cost and reduces environmental

footprint for the process.

HFO 1234yf – PRODUCT PROFILE

Alternate names: HFO 1234yf;

R1234yf;

2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropylene

2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene

CAS number: 754-12-1

Molecular formula: C3H2F4

Appearance: Colourless gas

Density: 1.1 g per cm3 at 25 deg. C (liquid)

HFO 1234yf has been proposed as a replacement for R-134a for use as a

refrigerant in automobile air conditioners.

HFO 1234yf was developed to meet the European directive 2006/40/EC that went into effect in 2011, requiring that all new car platforms for sale in Europe use a refrigerant in its AC system with a GWP below 150.

HFO 1234yf was introduced in November 2007 at the 2nd European

Workshop on Mobile Air Conditioning and Auxiliaries Conference in Turin, Italy.

Comparison of refrigerants.

Relative Energy Flammability

Refrigerant Efficiency Classification

R-134a 100% Non-flammable

HFO 1234yf 99.2% Mild Flammability

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-134a



The product can be handled in repair shops in the same way as R-134a, although it

would require different, specialized equipment to perform the service. One of the reasons for this is the mild flammability of HFO 1234yf.

Risk of flammability

German automaker Daimler raised safety concerns in September 2012 about HFO 1234yf and said that it would not use the product.

The SAE International Cooperative Research Project team, formed to perform an updated engineering safety analysis of HFO 1234yf refrigerant, reported that it has

‗carefully evaluated the extensive testing conducted by its members‘ and concluded that HFO 1234yf is safe and effective to use in automotive applications.

The CRP team, comprising most car manufacturers including Chrysler/Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, PSA, Renault and

Toyota, reported that the risk of passenger exposure to a vehicle fire associated with HFO 1234yf is exceptionally remote.

EU regulations

The European Commission has approved HFO 1234yf as a substitute for HFC 134a, as the standard refrigerant used in car air-conditioning systems in the European

Union. An EU ban on the use of refrigerants with GWP greater than 150, including

HFC 134a, will come into force for all new vehicles sold in the European Union as of 1st January 2017.

Applications HFO 1234yf, which has a 100 year GWP of 4, is

used as a "near drop-in replacement" for R-134a.

This means that automakers would not have to make significant modifications in assembly lines or in vehicle system designs to accommodate the

HFO 1234yf.

HFO 1234yf has the lowest switching cost for automakers among the currently proposed alternatives, although the initial cost of the product

is much higher than that of R-134a.



Project of Arkema

Arkema has decided to go ahead with plans to build production capacity for the refrigerant gas HFO 1234yf, with an anticipated start-up in 2016.

The programme, based on technology developed by Arkema will be in two phases: The first will be in Asia and the second in Europe.

Arkema says that its planned HFO 1234yf capacity in Europe will be online in time to help car manufacturers comply with the 2017 ban.

Dispute

Arkema filed a complaint to the European commission regarding agreements between DuPont and Honeywell for HFO 1234yf programme; Arkema said these

accords were anti competitive.

The Commission, as a result, launched an anti trust investigation into the agreements and examined whether the companies held and abused a dominant

position in HFO 1234yf. Arkema told the Commission at the time that it wanted a license to make HFO 1234yf, having carried out several years of R&D on the product.

Project of DuPont and Honeywell

Honeywell and DuPont, having jointly developed HFO 1234yf in response to the EU phaseout of HFC 134a, formed a 50-50 joint venture in 2010 to build a

manufacturing facility for the new product.

DuPont and Honeywell announced in 2010 that they intended to form an HFO 1234yf manufacturing joint venture, but those plans were dropped after it became clear they would not be able to obtain necessary approvals for a jv that

could deliver HFO 1234yf in time for the EU directive.

Project of Honeywell Honeywell currently sources HFO 1234yf from a third-party supplier in Asia.

DuPont

DuPont is currently cooperating with a partner in China to produce HFO 1234yf, and the plant there is running well. DuPont is making commercial shipments of the

product from China and Japan.

Changshu 3F Zhonghao New Chemical Materials (Changshu, China), in which DuPont has a minority stake.



The start-up of the China facility has exceeded expectations in terms of production quality and rates, with the company receiving its first commercial shipments of

HFO 1234yf refrigerant from China. The China Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) has awarded registration of

HFO 1234yf to the company‘s partner in China, which has already secured registrations from regulatory authorities in the United States, Europe, Japan,

Canada and Korea. DuPont declared that it has launched supply of its Opteon YF (HFO 1234yf)

refrigerant from China and Japan, as a part of its further expansion plan.

Project of Changshu 3F,China

HFO 1234yf is manufactured in China by Changshu 3F Zhonghao New Chemical Materials (Zonghao; Changshu, China). DuPont acquired a minority stake in

Zonghao .

Changshu 3F Zhonghao New Chemical Materials Co., Ltd. (3F Zhonghao) is the first

enterprise of China which has produced HFO 1234yf.

In June 2010, Shanghai 3F New Material Co., Ltd. (3F) approved its subsidiary-3F

Zhonghao, to construct the HFO 1234yf project in cooperation with DuPont

Company, the chief HFO 1234yf provider of the world.

In 2012, 3F Zhonghao's HFO 1234yf project started operations.

3F may expand its production capacity for HFO 1234yf because it believes that the

current situation is conducive to the development of its new refrigerant project.

Arkema Changshu

Arkema (Changshu) Fluorine Chemical Co., Ltd. (Arkema Changshu) has announced

its intention to invest in the HFO 1234yf project in China, which will be completed

by the end of 2013.

Zhejiang Quhua Fluorine Chemical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhejiang Juhua Co.,

Ltd. (Zhejiang Juhua), has invested in the research and development of the

HFO 1234yf project.

Arkema Changshu invested USD88.89 million in the construction of the HFO 1234yf

project mainly because it believes that the market demand for HFO 1234yf of the

global market will increase sharply. It started to be constructed in May 2013 and

will be completed at the end of 2013.

Jubail United Petrochemical Co. (Al Jubail), a Sabic manufacturing subsidiary, has awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract to Linde

Engineering for what will be the world‘s largest carbon dioxide (CO2) purification and liquefaction plant.

The unit will be designed to compress and purify about 1,500 metric tonnes per day of raw CO2 from ethylene glycol plants. The purified gaseous CO2 will be

supplied by pipeline to three Sabic affiliates for methanol and urea production. An estimated 500,000 metric tonnes per year of CO2 emissions will be saved.

The project will add to Sabic‘s business portfolio of industrial gas products. This is

the first of many similar projects to be executed next year. The plant will also be capable of producing 200 metric tonnes per day of food-

grade liquid CO2, which will be stored and supplied by truck to the beverage and food industry. This carbon capture and utilization project is the first to be realized in

Saudi Arabia. Linde‘s Dresden, Germany, office will be responsible for the concept and basic

engineering; front-end engineering design; and detailed engineering, procurement, and construction of the facility, which is to be completed on a fast-track schedule.

Mechanical completion is scheduled for 2015. *****

Emission-free amine catalysts

Tosoh has announced plans to build a unit to produce the company‘s proprietary

Rzeta emission-free reactive amine catalysts for polyurethane (PU) foams. The plant will be built at the company‘s Nanyo, Japan, ethylene amines production

site for an estimated ¥2 billion ($20.1 million). Construction of the plant will begin shortly and is expected to be completed by November 2014.

PU catalysts are used in the production of PU foams that are used as cushioning for automotive interiors, bedding, and furniture and as insulation for refrigerators and

construction materials. The catalysts are also used for the manufacture of shoe soles, adhesives and paints. Tosoh developed Rzeta in response to concerns over

volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from PU foams based on conventional PU catalysts.



Rzeta, as an emission-free PU foam reactive amine catalyst, makes possible the manufacture of PU foams that do not emit VOCs or odors characteristic of amine

chemicals. *****

Valifenalate based fungicide

FMC has entered into an agreement with Belchim Crop Protection (Londerzeel,

Belgium) under which it will develop, manufacture and sell patented valifenalate-based fungicides in the Americas and other countries.

Valifenalate is a dipeptide-class fungicide used on grapes, tomatoes and vegetables to protect against mildew.

Balchim markets the fungicide using the brand name Valis and FMC expects to market it in Latin America soon.

FMC has been a shareholder in Belchim since 2000 and markets several products

based on the company‘s technology. ISK Biosciences (Concord, OH) also markets some of the company‘s products.

***** Lauric acid

Evonik Industries has begun operating a pilot plant for omega-amino lauric acid (ALS) at Slovenska Lupca, Slovakia.

Biobased ALS is an alternative to petroleum-based laurin lactam (LL). ALS potentially replaces LL as a monomer in the manufacture of sustainable high-

performance plastics and yields an identical compound nylon-12. Palm oil, which Evonik is already using as a base for various other chemical products, is the starting material.

The entirely new process has the potential to complement butadiene-based production of nylon-12.

*****

Biobased superabsorbent Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), CIC Holdings (Colombo, Sri Lanka), and Chemanex

(Colombo) have formed a joint venture to build and operate a superabsorbent polymers (SAP) production facility near Colombo utilizing starch as feedstock.

ADM will be the majority owner of the jv, named Chemcel and will market the SAP under the ADM BioSAP brand name.

ADM says BioSAP consists of a starch with an added carboxymethyl group—CH2CO2Na—or neutralized organic acid, which provides hydrophilic properties.

NEWS ROUND UP - INDIA

Wood-plastic-composites partnership in India

Austria-based extrusion technology company, Battenfeld-cincinnati has formed a strategic alliance with wood-plastic-composites (WPC) specialist Hardy Smith of Gujarat.

In India,WPC profiles and panels are emerging as a popular alternative to wood

panels, which are relatively expensive due to limited wood resources.

Battenfeld-cincinnati has been offering custom-built extrusion machinery to

manufacture WPC products. As a co founder of the ‗WPC Platform Austria‘, the company has also become involved in the government funded COIN project, in which 9 Austrian companies are pursuing the common goal of improving the

mechanical attributes of WPC profiles by another 25% and simultaneously achieving a 25% reduction in material costs.

***** Plans of Hindustan Copper Ltd.

Hindustan Copper Ltd hopes to start work on its underground mine project at its existing opencast mine at Malanjkhand in Madhya Pradesh.

It is estimated to have 141 million metric tonnes copper bearing ores and the

targeted depth is 300 metres. Of the two proposed projects in Rajasthan, the Rs.100 crore Banwas mine

development work is moving ahead,. It may start production early next fiscal. It may initially produce around 7,000 metric tonnes a year of ore. So far, the

company have spent around Rs.60 crore on the project. The other proposed project in Rajasthan is caught in litigation in the apex court

over mining ban in the Araballi region. Resumption of mining in three inoperative mines in Jharkhand Rakha, Kendahdih and Chapri Sidheshwari may start by

December. These mines are awaiting state II forest clearances. HCL has planned to exploit accumulated tailings (washed ore waste) for extracting

precious metals such as gold and silver. Some tailings are extracted in its mine backyards in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. It has sought expression of interest

from global players in the field.

Hardy Smith, originally a company of the wood industry, has already been engaged

in the WPC project consulting business since 2011. Hardy Smith offers complete

solutions for WPC manufacturing from concept to end product followed by marketing support.


TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Device to detect biodiesel contamination

The probability of contamination of diesel fuel is increasing, as biodiesel becomes more popular and as distribution and supply systems use the same facilities to store and transport the two types of fuels.

―The ability to detect biodiesel at various concentrations in diesel is an important goal in several industries,‖ said Xue. ―There is particular concern over biodiesel

contamination in jet fuel, because at higher levels, it can impact the thermal stability and freezing point of jet fuel leading to deposits in the fuel system or gelling of the fuel. These issues can result in jet engine operability problems and

possible engine flame out.‖

Xue and Fong tested several dyes and found that the dye Nile blue chloride dissolved in alcohol, can be made into a thin film with high sensitivity toward biodiesel contamination in jet fuel. They tested small strips of the sensor and found

it could successfully detect amounts of biodiesel contaminant in diesel as low as 0.5-ppm ten times below the allowable limit of 5-ppm in the U.S. in less than

30 minutes. With diesel, because it does not displace alcohol in the dye, the sensor remains

blue. However, biodiesel replaces the alcohol, changing the sensor color to pink. This change can be seen with the naked eye.

The researchers say the sensor can be deployed in a portable reader for use in the field. The sensor can also be used for drivers delivering biodiesel diesels to gas

stations to quickly verify that the blends are accurate. They are working with the UT Research Foundation to find partners to commercialize the technology.

***** Paraxylene from plant-based materials

Gevo Inc, the US biofuel producer backed by French oil company Total SA, recently inaugurated a demonstration scale paraxylene plant in Silsbee, Texas, USA.

A professor and student team at the University

of Tennessee, Knoxville, has developed a quick and easy to use sensor that can detect trace amounts of biodiesel contamination in diesel.

The work of chemistry professor Ziling (Ben)

Xue and doctoral student Jonathan Fong has been published in the journal Chemical Communications.



The facility being built in association with Coca Cola Co. and Japan‘s Toray Industries Inc is located adjacent to Gevo‘s existing jet fuel plant in Silsbee and

establishes the site as a biorefinery that will serve the renewable chemicals and true drop in biofuels markets.

Toray has also signed an offtake agreement for paraxylene produced at the Silbsee facility. Toray will purchase paraxylene from Gevo and will convert it into PET

fibres, textiles and films for scale up evaluation and market development purposes. Gevo and Toray have successfully produced fully renewable and recyclable

polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibres and films from isobutanol at laboratory scale in 2011.

The majority of the world‘s PET production is for synthetic fibres (in excess of 60 per cent), with bottle production accounting for around 30 per cent of global

demand. Gevo‘s paraxylene, once converted to bio-based PET, has high potential for any commercial application currently served by petroleum derived PET.

*****

They hope that one day it will be used in places such as sewage treatment plants or

to break down organic pollutants in the ―deal zones‖ of lakes and coastal waters, where fertilizer runoff and other organic waste can deplete oxygen levels and

suffocate marine life.

Toray, the largest maker of carbon fibre, funded the plant and is buying the output. Coca Cola, the world‘s largest soda

maker, gave research and development support with the goal of getting all of its

polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles from plant materials.

Generating electricity from sewage

Stanford University engineers have devised a new way to generate electricity

from sewage, using naturally occurring ―wired microbes‖ as mini power plants,

producing electricity as they digest plant and animal waste.

Co-authors Yi Cui, a materials scientists, Craig Criddle, an environmental engineer,

and Xing Xie, an interdisciplinary fellow, call their invention a microbial battery.



At the moment, however, their laboratory prototype is about the size of a D-cell battery and looks like a chemistry experiment, with two electrodes, one positive,

the other negative, plunged into a bottle of wastewater. Inside that vial, attached to the negative electrode like barnacles to a ship‘s hull,

an unusual type of bacteria feast on particles or organic waste and produce electricity that is captured by the battery‘s positive electrode.

The Stanford engineers estimate that the microbial battery can extract about 30 per cent of the potential energy locked in wastewater. That is roughly the same

efficiency at which the best commercially available solar cells convert sunlight into electricity.

***** PP catalyst development

Clariant says that its catalysts business unit has signed long term cooperation agreements with CB&I‘s Lummus Novolen Technology subsidiary.

The two companies will combine and ramp up R&D efforts to develop improved

polypropylene (PP) catalyst and donor technologies. Clariant and Lummus Novolen will jointly invest about 65 million Swiss francs

($70 million) in a new PP catalyst production plant at Clariant‘s catalyst production hub at Louisville, KY. The plant is expected to become operational in 2015.

Existing and future Lummus Novolen licensees and other PP producers will be supplied with the new catalyst developed by the new Ziegler-Natta PP catalyst

production plant, Clariant says. ******

PHARMA PAGE

Despite the recent instances of top Indian drug makers, including Ranbaxy, Wockhardt, Lupin and Aurobindo Pharma, being issued with import alerts or warned about lax manufacturing practices by the FDA, only 47 drug manufacturing

facilities or 9% of total units approved by the American regulator has been banned from exporting products (be it drugs, food products or medical devices) to the US

market till date. China has over 960 FDA-approved manufacturing sites, the highest number outside

the US and has around 8% of these sites under an import ban by the FDA, not very different from India in terms of incidence of adverse FDA action. However,

compared to countries like Mexico, the UK and Canada, the number of factories under an import alert as a percentage of total US registered sites is much higher in India or China.

India has 526 manufacturing facilities approved by the American regulator, the

second-highest number outside of US, and accounts for nearly 40% of the generic drugs sold in the that country.

While 74% of Mexican drug making sites registered with FDA are under a ban, around 30% of Canadian and British manufacturing facilities that are approved by

the FDA to supply medicines have been issued an import alert.

Although the FDA‘s meticulousness and stringency of parameters both in terms of the quality of finished products as well as operations, record maintenance and housekeeping, is of a much higher order compared with Indian authorities‘, it allows

proper hearing to companies found violating its norms.

USFDA RECORD OF INDIAN PHARMA UNITS India has 526 pharma manufacturing facilities approved by the American

regulator, the second-highest number outside of US, and accounts for nearly 40% of the generic drugs sold in the that country.

India, which is second-largest drug exporter to the US, according to the FDA, exported $4.23 billion or 30% of total exports to the US market in

2012-13.

Out of the country‘s total pharmaceutical exports of $14.6 billion, India exports 19% to Europe,followed by 17% to Africa, 7% to West Asia and 5% to the CIS countries.


PHARMA PAGE

FDA is vigilant. However, the regulator checks GMP compliance on a company to company basis and recent events are not expected to generate any negative

perception of generic drugs made by Indian firms. FDA‘s inspection and compliance processes ensure that ―companies understand the

risks associated with their product‘s processes and assure they remain compliant to regulations‖.

Prior to imposing the ban on Ranbaxy‘s Mohali facility, FDA in its warning documents sent to the company had stated that while an inspection initiated on

July 5, 2012, revealed that a tablet was out of its specified weight limit, no investigation was made (by Ranbaxy) to find the root cause, to develop actions to

prevent this type of deviation from recurring and no documented follow-up was conducted.

The heart of good manufacturing is documentation and, hence, each step must be recorded and validated to ensure there is no deviation from procedure.

The number of inspections by the FDA is also on the rise because under the new

Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, the regulator has to achieve the same inspectional schedule for foreign facilities as domestic manufacturers and to clear the backlog of applications by the end of the first five

years. *****

New microbiocide that tricks HIV to kill itself In a breakthrough, researchers have created a microbicide that can trick HIV into

killing itself without disturbing any healthy cells.

Pinning down an effective way to combat the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus, the viral precursor to AIDS, has long been a challenge for scientists and physicians, because the virus is an elusive one that mutates

frequently and, as a result, quickly becomes immune to medication.

A team of Drexel University researchers is trying to get one step ahead of the virus with a

microbicide they have created that can trick HIV into "popping" itself into oblivion.

The microbicide DAVEI - which stands for "Dual Action Virolytic Entry Inhibitor" - is the latest in

a new generation of HIV treatments that function by specifically destroying the virus without harming healthy cells, researchers said.


PHARMA PAGE

"While several molecules that destroy HIV have recently been announced, DAVEI is unique among them by virtue of its design, specificity and high potency," said Dr

Cameron Abrams, a professor in Drexel's College of Engineering and a primary investigator of the project.

A team co-led by Abrams and Dr Irwin Chaiken in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Drexel's College of Medicine, and including R V Kalyana

Sundaram, developed the chimeric recombinantly engineered protein - that is, a molecule assembled from pieces of other molecules and engineered for a specific purpose, in this case to fight HIV.

HIV invades a healthy cell by first attaching via protein "spikes" that then collapse

to pull viral and cell membranes together, fusing them and allowing the genetic contents of the virus to enter the healthy cell.

The cell is rewired by the viral genetic material into producing more viruses instead of performing its normal function, which, in the case of cells infected by HIV,

involves normal immunity. AIDS is the result.

The team designed DAVEI from two main ingredients. One piece, called the Membrane Proximal External Region (MPER), is itself a small piece of the fusion machinery and interacts strongly with viral membranes.

The other piece, called cyanovirin, binds to the sugar coating of the protein spike.

Working together, the MPER and cyanovirin in DAVEI "tweak" the fusion machinery in a way that mimics the forces it feels when attached to a cell.

The study was published in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. *****

PRICE DETAILS

Butadiene

Expectations for higher butadiene prices over the next few months are slim, since demand from butadiene derivatives—namely those related to the tire and

automotive industriesis currently below last year‘s levels, according to IHS Chemical‘s latest Market Advisory Service.

Global C4 Olefin & Elastomers. The European butadiene contract price for August was settled at €750 per metric tonne ($999) , €250 per metric tonne below July's

€1,000 per metric tonne, according to IHS Chemical data. These prices are a long way from the heights achieved in July–August 2011, when

contract prices were €2,500 per metric tonne and €2,525 per metric tonne respectively and spot prices reached $4,800 per metric tonne, fob northwest

Europe (NWE) in July and $3,500 per metric tonne fob NWE in August, according to the same data.
