Mobile networks to be Powered by Biodiesel in India
In a resent press release by Ericson, they have said that, the Indian mobile operator Idea Cellular, Ericsson and the GSM Association's Development Fund have teamed up to develop biodiesel as a source of power for wireless networks in rural India. In a pilot project in Pune, Maharashtra, the three organizations will begin using biodiesel to power mobile base stations located beyond the reach of the electricity grid. This revolutionary idea will help rural farmers and entrepreneurs. They are also providing help to these people so as to start production of the same.
They have released photos showing the equipment

One thing to note is that such initiative will be more beneficial in spreading the word about biodiesel than the actual impact it will have. India is a country with vast potentials for biodiesel because it has highest number of personal diesel vehicles. The popularity for bio diesel is low as of now in India and such Initiatives will be very beneficial for the same.
In another view such initiatives should be taken up by other providers world over. The communication networks of the day are consuming a very large amount of power mostly made from fossil fuel (due to remote locations etc). Operators shifting to bio diesel will be a very positive move. For the companies the amount of money involved in the shift is not very large because the amount of modifications required is very little. Thus it is just the question of wanting to change. The move by the Aditya Birla group's Idea cellular should be taken as an example by other providers world over.
