India and Canada to coopertae on advanced biofuels research; ultrasound biodiesel, biogas from waste and bio-hydrogen on the research agenda

In India and Canada, Saskatchewan University signed an agreement with the Indian Agricultural Research Institute to cooperate on research into second-generation biofuels. The agreement calls for research into the use of acid hydrolysis and supercritical carbon dioxide to produce fermentable sugars, the production of biodiesel using ultrasound technology, conversion of waste biomass into biogas and fertilizers, and the supercritical water process to produce hydrogen from biomass.
