SVU launches ‘Centre of Excellence’ in Bioenergy Innovations

Sri Venkateswara University (SVU) has launched a 'Centre of Excellence' in Bioenergy Innovations (CoE-BEI) with financial support from Rashtriya Uchchatar Siksha Abhiyaan (RUSA Phase 2.0). The centre, inaugurated by university Vice-Chancellor Tata Narasinga Rao, has been equipped with sophisticated scientific equipment worth ₹1.20 crore, including a BET surface area analyser, Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, Photobioreactor, Anoxomat III and Milli-Q water purification system.

Rao expressed surprise that SVU is the only university in Andhra Pradesh to possess the specialised BET surface area analyser facility, which is crucial for advanced study on surface area, pore size and related physicochemical properties of nanoparticles, nanomaterials, biochar, catalysts and other advanced materials.
