Students/Researchers/Academicians:
The Centre for Waste Management at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology (Deemed to be University) organized a “One-day Training cum Workshop on Biomass Fermentation and Distillation for Bioethanol Production” on 22nd November 2025. This training provided participants with comprehensive knowledge of biomass as a renewable resource for bioenergy production, covering key sources such as recently living plant matter and biological waste from both commercial and residential sectors. The program emphasized biomass characterization through proximate analysis—including moisture content, volatile matter, ash, and fixed carbon—along with cellulose estimation and extraction of lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass. Participants also explored hydrolysis (acid, alkali, and enzymatic), fermentation, distillation, and bioethanol detection, complemented by a demonstration of a pilot-scale bioethanol plant. The training highlighted various energy recovery methods, including thermal, chemical, biochemical, and electrochemical conversions, and illustrated how these processes contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 7, 8, and 13 by promoting clean energy, fostering inclusive and sustainable growth, and supporting climate action initiatives. Students from Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology and Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherry participated and gained practical insights from the program.
The program provides participants with hands-on experience using the advanced facilities at the Centre for Waste Management, Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, emphasizing biomass analysis and bioethanol production techniques. It aims to inspire engagement in research and internship opportunities in the field of renewable fuels, encouraging exploration of innovations in this growing energy sector.
