Potential of crop residue as biofuel not amply tapped
Besides food sufficiency, India’s agrarian economy throws up other advantages. If recognised and tapped, some of these could help mitigate climate change.
Take agriculture residue. Around 500 million tonnes of it generated annually could be turned into solid biofuels. Unfortunately, an estimated 200 million tonnes is not used productively. If utilised, this can to a great extent help reduce the industrial use of fossil fuels such as coal or furnace oil.
