Publishers Page – E20: A Necessary Transition or a Strategic Detour?
India’s E20 ethanol blending programme enhances energy security and lowers emissions, but expanding beyond current levels raises concerns over water use, land demand, and efficiency. A balanced strategy should prioritise advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals, electric mobility, and hydrogen for long-term sustainability.
Microalgae-Based Regenerative Wastewater Valorisation
-Dr. Ninad Gujarathi, Environalgae
Microalgae-Based Regenerative Wastewater Valorisation (MRWV) uses microalgae to treat wastewater, recycle water, recover nutrients, and produce valuable biomass for agriculture and aquaculture. The technology reduces carbon emissions, supports circular economy goals, and converts wastewater treatment from a cost centre into a profit-generating sustainable solution.
Tailor-made Ion Exchange Resins: A Systematic Approach to Tackling PFAS Contamination in Water
-Dr. Dirk Steinhilber, LANXESS
Tailor-made ion exchange resins offer an efficient, scalable, and cost-effective solution for removing PFAS from groundwater, drinking water, and wastewater. Their high selectivity, long service life, and regeneration potential ensure compliance with stringent regulations while outperforming conventional activated carbon systems.
Desalination: From Alternative Source to Strategic Necessity for India’s Water Future
-Vishal Mehra, Thermax
Desalination is emerging as a strategic solution to India’s growing water crisis by providing a reliable, climate-resilient water source. Advances in technology, sustainability, and cost efficiency are making it essential for urban growth, industrial development, and long-term water security.
