Research works also have
a huge potential to make sustainable life for socially, economically and
educationally backward classes, the Minister for Road, Transport and Highways
said. By using different technologies, one day India will be in a strong
position, he said and added that a day
will come in 5 years when the country will be an exporter of bio-aviation fuel.
Using bio-mass from
bamboo wheat straw and rice straw, ethanol can be made and from ethanol,
bio-aviation fuel can be made, the minister said. According to him, research works will also help in the development of
smart villages, water conservation and diversification of agricultural
practices.
He also mentioned about
an ongoing research work to make ethanol from carbon dioxide.
Presently, we have a
plant of 15,000 litres per day where the experiment is going on… scientists from
Tamil Nadu are making ethanol from carbon dioxide. So, anything which is going
to be big research which is related to carbon dioxide, it will be a great
addition and relief to the people of this country, he said.
