World Biofuel Day was celebrated by the Department of Biotechnology Engineering, NMAMIT in association with the Udupi District Bioenergy Research, Information & Demonstration Centre (BRIDC) and National Service Scheme (NSS) on 10th August 2018 at Nitte campus.
World Biofuel Day is celebrated in memory of Dr. Rudolf Diesel who first used biofuel (peanut oil) in diesel engine on 10th August, 1893. Dr. Niranjan N. Chiplunkar, Principal; Dr. I Ramesh Mithanthaya, Vice Principal; Sri Yogeesh Hegde, Registrar; Dr. Janardhana Nayak, NSS unit Chairman & Mr. Aravinda Hegde, Special Officer planted different varieties of biofuel saplings. The faculty and students of Biotechnology Engineering headed by Dr. C. Vaman Rao planted about 160 biofuel saplings.
The seeds obtained from these plants are useful in producing non-edible oil which can be converted to Biodiesel. Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine by mixing it with petroleum diesel. Use of biodiesel will reduce environment pollution and also help preserve non-renewable sources of energy. The Department of Biotechnology at NMAMIT houses Biofuel Production Centre and is actively involved in Biofuel research.
