IIT-BHU scientists develop green hydrogen from sugarcane waste
In a major breakthrough in sustainable energy research , scientists at Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) have developed an innovative method for producing green hydrogen using sugarcane biomass waste and a newly isolated bacterial strain. The pioneering research, conducted at Biomolecular Engineering Laboratory of the School of Biochemical Engineering, has been published in leading international journals, including International Journal of Hydrogen Energy and Fuel. According to Prof Abha Mishra, lead investigator and in charge of the laboratory, as well as associate dean (research and development) at IIT (BHU), the development has positioned the institute at the forefront of global biohydrogen innovation. The research team isolated successfully a novel hydrogen-producing bacterial strain , alcaligenes ammonioxydans SRAM, from sewage sludge wastewater. The strain demonstrated exceptional efficiency in converting sugarcane bagasse-an abundant agricultural waste in India's largest sugarcane-producing state, UP-into hydrogen gas. "The strain showed excellent potential for large-scale application. It serves as an efficient biocatalyst capable of transforming lignocellulosic biomass into clean energy," said Prof. Mishra. The bacterium, now officially registered in the NCBI GenBank , produces hydrogen through dark fermentation-a low-energy, anaerobic process that offers both economic and environmental benefits. Alongside hydrogen, the bacterium also showed potential for producing eco-friendly biopolymers , opening avenues for sustainable material development. A patent application has been filed to secure the intellectual property of the innovation. To optimise the hydrogen yield, the team employed advanced computational tools such as ANN-MATLAB and Python-based modelling. These tools helped fine-tune key parameters, enhancing reproducibility and efficiency of the process.

Gen Z are turning to very old-fashioned favourite as modern food is too hard to cook
Nearly one in three cook classic dishes in the air fryer because it is easier and tastier BACK IN TIME Gen Z are turning to very old-fashioned favourite as modern food is too hard to cook Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GENERATION Z are turning to old-fashioned faves like spam — because modern food is too tricky to cook. Classics including steak and kidney pie, tripe and liver and onions are also enjoying a resurgence. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Young people are now turning to old fashioned favourites like Spam Credit: Alamy One-third of the adults under 28 polled say modern dishes are too complicated to rustle up. Almost three in five often scoff canned Spam for convenience. One in ten even plate up spam fritters for their children. Spam was launched in 1937 by US food processing company Hormel and became popular during World War Two. Its main ingredients are pork shoulder and ham, and it became a part of popular culture through a Monty Python sketch which repeated its name many times — which led to it being used to refer to unsolicited emails. Spam was also parodied in the Python-based Spamalot musical. The food survey, meanwhile, also found that just over two in five Gen Z parents give their kids corned beef hash. Tripe and onions is served by 16 per cent. Nearly one in three cook classic dishes in the air fryer because it is easier and tastier, according to the survey of 2,000 Brits. By contrast, eight in ten over-60s — who grew up on food like tripe — now opt for the trendy breakfast treat avocado toast. Martin Senders of Philips, which commissioned the poll, said: 'It's great to see traditional dishes making a comeback.'
