The Mashelkar Committee has submitted its report on the National Auto Fuel Policy. What more is CSIR doing?
The Auto Fuel Policy drafted under the Chairmanship of Dr R. A. Mashelkar, has paved the way for laying Indian standards for auto emissions and thus moving towards meeting the global settings in the domain. The standards Bharat II, III & IV will come into force in phases as per the road map evolved. Improvement in fuel quality is the prime need in addition to changes required in auto engines, use of catalytic converters, etc. Under a NMITLI supported programme, effort has been initiated to help improve fuel quality and a novel catalyst has been developed. The catalyst has remarkable efficiency for desulfurizing diesel, obtained from the first stage of an HDS unit with sulphur (S) content of about 2500 ppm to less than 50 ppm. It performs at the typical refinery process conditions, i.e., < 340 C and 40-bar pressure. The catalyst developed is even active at 30-bar pressure. The development would be of immense help in providing quality diesel as per Bharat III to IV emission standards. Ef
