Researchers at the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research-Indian Institute of Petroleum (CSIR-IIP), Dehradun, have identified a fungus capable of removing toxic, recalcitrant, and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment. The rapid pace of economic development and industrialisation has resulted in the release of several PAHs into the environment. The PAHs are ubiquitous environmental pollutants originating from multiple sources, including combustion of petrogenic fossil fuels, and incomplete incineration of municipal wastes and biomass. Pyrene, possessing four benzene rings, belongs to the highly toxic class of PAHs, with carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. It gets lodged into the environmental matrices like soil, water and atmosphere, resulting in widespread environmental pollution, necessitating adequate remediation of contaminated environmental matrices. The researchers at IIP identified a white-rot fungus Trametes maxima IIPLC-32 which has the potential to cause microbial degradation of pyrene. According to researchers, growing on dead plants, this fungus causes pyrene degradation using special enzymes. ft.

CSIR - Indian Institute of Petroleum has developed a novel fuel-efficient domestic cooking burner with the financial support of PCRA (Petrol Conservative Research Association). The designed burner has improved performance and has an Energy Saving Potential of 20-25% compared to the in-use PNG stoves. Being dedicated to PNG use, it can replace 70 lakh in-use in-efficient PNG burners created by modifying LPG burners. The fuel saving will be worth Rs. 500 crore per annum for in-use PNG connections and an additional Rs. 4000 crore per annum for 4 crore targeted PNG connections in coming years. It can reduce 0.35 million tons of CO2 emissions per year from in-use PNG connections and additional 2.8 million tones of C02 emissions per year for the 4 crore targeted PNG connections in coming 4 years. ft.
