The Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory at IIT Jodhpur carries out research in the areas of bioenergy and bioremediation. Researchers in the lab investigate on waste to energy conversion processes to develop sustainable biotechnological solutions to water pollution and clean energy. At present, successful bioremediation processes for nitrate, uranium (VI), saline starch, and chromium (VI) contaminated water has been developed. Besides, low-cost Microbial Carbon Capture cells for power generation and Algae cultivation have been developed. Also, researchers in the lab have been successful in isolating novel Yeast with characteristics of the potential biodiesel producer.
