MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631063523 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Nadia, West Bengal, on May 19, for 'eco-friendly high-calorific fuel derived from rice biomass.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Jit Chakraborty; Dr. Trina Dutta; Ananya Barman; Prabin Mondal; Yanur Mondal; Sumit Roy; Subham Kumar; and Maaz Allah.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a high-efficiency biofuel derived from rice biomass residues and a systematic method for its preparation. By integrating the steps of moisture reduction, controlled partial carbonization (250 C to 600 C), and mechanical densification using natural biodegradable binders, the invention transforms agricultural waste such as rice husk and straw into high-calorific solid fuel products. The resulting fuel exhibits superior combustion efficiency, reduced smoke and ash emissions, and enhanced mechanical stability compared to conventional biomass fuels. The invention provides an economically viable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, effectively promoting waste-to-energy conversion and reducing the environmental impact of open-field agricultural burning."
