October is the time when Indian farmers burn a goldmine. All of these are wasted as they are burned in the cities, polluting them and destroying a carbon source that should be in use.All of these are incinerated, polluting cities and wasting a carbon source that should be utilized. Smart entrepreneurs have turned this equation around today. Serious capital, government interest and export interest are driving business ideas based on biochar production and Compressed Biogas (CBG) manufacturing. This is one of the most opportune areas for MSME entrepreneurs and first-generation industrialists in the clean energy and agri-processing economy in India.<\/p>\n
Biochar is a charcoal that producers make from biomass through a high-temperature, low oxygen thermal process called pyrolysis. Purified natural gas, on the other hand, is not compressed but producers create it through anaerobic digestion of organic waste, and they compress it to natural gas standards, which is known as CBG. The two technologies solve the double challenge that India faces of agricultural waste management and clean energy transition. Most significantly, both now have good commercial viability for new manufacturing businesses.<\/p>\n
