MUMBAI, India, Dec. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511072220 A) filed by Shiv Nadar; and Varhad Capital Pvt. Ltd., Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, on July 29, for 'a novel method of biodiesel production via fast pyrolysis of lipid-rich biomass.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Sanjeev Yadav; Mukul Agrawal; Durga Vijay Sankar Vasireddy; and Mr Prasad Dahapute.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a method (1000) for biodiesel production through fast pyrolysis of lipid-rich biomass (100) is disclosed. The process involves drying and grinding the biomass (100), followed by loading a predetermined quantity into a pyrolysis reactor. The reactor is purged with inert gas and heated (104) to a predetermined pyrolysis temperature at a controlled heating rate. The biomass undergoes thermochemical decomposition (105), producing fatty acids and alcohols. These intermediates react via in-situ gas-phase transesterification (106) within the reactor atmosphere to form fatty acid alkyl esters. The resulting pyrolysis vapors are condensed (107) using a multi-stage condensation system to collect fatty acid alkyl esters-rich bio-oil (100A) in sealed vessels, thereby biochar (109) is recovered from the reactor base, and non-condensable gases are optionally vented or captured, these integrated method of the present invention enables efficient conversion of lipid-rich biomass into biodiesel precursors with minimal external reagents."
