Option 3 : Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.

The correct answer is Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.

  • The Bengaluru based Indian Institute of Science and Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) has signed an MOU to develop biomass gasification based hydrogen generation technology for producing fuel cell-grade hydrogen at an affordable price.  
  • Both IISc and Indian Oil will demonstrate the technology in the Indian Oil R&D Centre in Faridabad.
  • The technology is crucial for the fuel cell operated buses being conceived by Indian Oil towards ushering in the country’s hydrogen economy.

  • ​Biomass gasification is a new technology in which biomass (renewable organic resources like agriculture crop residues, forest residues, special crops grown particularly for energy use, organic municipal solid waste, and animal waste) is converted to hydrogen and other products without combustion using heat, steam, and oxygen.
  • Coconut shells, groundnut shells, and rice husk can be used in biomass gasification.
