Sand substitute developed by IISc scientists

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru have created a promising new material that can replace natural sand in construction. This development comes as a response to the growing scarcity of sand, a crucial component in building materials. The team at IISc’s Centre for Sustainable Technologies (CST) is exploring methods to utilise

New tech to generate green hydrogen using biomass

Professor S Dasappa from IISc has developed a technology to produce hydrogen gas from biomass through a sustainable method. Here’s how it can help fulfil India’s growing hydrogen demand. Within the portals of the Indian Institute of Science — one of the top-ranked universities in the country, a one-of-a-kind research technology has emerged. It is

Researchers at IISc in India develop technology to produce green hydrogen from biomass

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed an innovative technology that can produce hydrogen from biomass. The process consists of two steps. In the first step, biomass is converted into syngas — a hydrogen-rich fuel gas mixture — in a novel reactor using oxygen and steam. In the second step, pure hydrogen is generated from syngas
