Biomass and Plastic Converted into Fertilizer by Agriculture Researchers in Bengaluru

• Researchers at UAS GKVK scaled pyrolysis experiments to produce low-cost, sustainable fuel from plastic, biomass, and bio-briquettes, generating char, syngas, and bio-oil for various uses.
• The biochar produced enhances soil fertility, water retention, and carbon sequestration, supporting sustainable farming and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• UAS plans to collaborate with industries and the government to expand biochar applications, benefiting farmers through schemes like BioUrja and improving industrial processes like filtration and polymer production.
