In one of its first forays in the energy sector, India’s premier bio innovation organisation, Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) has signed a MoU with MC2 Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation backed by India’s energy majors, dedicated to catalysing deep-tech innovation in India’s energy and industrial sectors.
The partners together launched the first edition of MC²+ Grand Butanol Challenge on 17 July at C-CAMP premises in the presence of Taslimarif Saiyed, C-CAMP Director-CEO and Sandeep Maheshwari, Director and CEO, MC2 Foundation.
The challenge is conceptualised as a national milestone-funded innovation programme (through both equity-free prize and grant mechanisms) aimed at sourcing and harvesting indigenous solutions for bio-Iso-Butanol/N-Butanol production.
