Biofuels Digest Personality of the Year: Dr. P V Subba Rao – President, R&D, Remfuel Bioenergy (India)

In Florida, Biofuels Digest announced that Dr. P V Subba Rao, President, R&D, Remfuel Bioenergy, has been named Biofuels Digest Personality of the Year in the third annual reader poll. This is the second year in a row that the award has gone to a non-US industry leader. Last years’ winner was Carlos St. James of the Argentine Renewable Energies Chamber.

Dr. Rao received 10 percent of the votes, while Dr. John Scott, chairman of PetroAlgae, received 5 percent and Gary Luce of Terrabon received 4 percent. The remaining 81 percent of votes were divided between more than 50 other candidates.

Remfuel is developing biofuel technologies, which eliminate transesterification for straight vegetable oil (SVO), animal fat oil and algal oil. REMB-1 is based on a new biodiesel source, which generates multi-fold income to the farmer compared to traditional biodiesel sources like Jatropha and requires no transesterification. According to the company, “this essentially eliminates the transesterification of fats, and allows any SVO, animal fat oil and algal oil to be used directly as a diesel blend.”
