Tata Steel tested carbon-neutral biomass charcoal at its Athagarh ferro-chrome plant, replacing coke to reduce emissions. The trial, using 5% biomass, could reduce CO2 emissions by 6%, with further trials and potential charcoal imports being considered. Tata Steel is also collaborating with BHP on low-carbon...
Pantnagar University scientists developed a method to extract 90% alcohol from agricultural waste efficiently utilizing biomass like sugarcane bagasse. The new technique avoids organic solvents, allowing deeper enzyme penetration for better carbohydrate conversion. This process isolates cellulose from agricultural waste, creating fermentable sugars and hydrolyzing...
The use of fermented organic manure could reduce India’s fertilizer import costs by $1.5 billion, addressing dependence on foreign fertilizers. India plans to increase manure production from 1 million to 7 million metric tonnes annually, benefiting states like Rajasthan. Compressed biogas (CBG) from manure supports...
