<P> Synthetic methane (SNG) generated using electricity from carbon neutral renewable power can be used to produce protein rich feed for cattle, poultry and fish economically by cultivating Methylococcus capsulatus bacteria culture with tiny land and water foot print . The carbon dioxide gas produced as by product from these bio protein plants can be recycled in the generation of SNG . Similarly, oxygen gas produced as by product from the electrolysis of water and the methanation process can be consumed in the cultivation of bacteria culture . With these integrated plants, the abundant renewable power potential in India can be converted in to high value food products with out any water pollution or green house gas (GHG) emissions for achieving food security at a faster pace with lesser people deployment in agriculture / animal husbandry sector . </P> <P> Ethanol market penetration reached its highest figure of a 3.3% blend rate in India in 2016 . It is produced from sugarcane molasses and partly from grains and can be blended with gasoline . Sugarcane or sugarcane juice may cannot be used for the production of ethanol in India . </P> <P> The market for biodiesel remains at an early stage in India with the country achieving a minimal blend rate with diesel of 0.001% in 2016 . Intitally development was focussed on the jatropha (jatropha curcas) plant as the most suitable indedible oilseed for biodiesel production . Development of biodiesel from jatropha has met a number of agronomical and economic restraints and attention is now moving towards other feedstock technologies which utilize used cooking oils, other unusuable oil fractions, animal fat and indedible oils . </P>
