&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Are 
you a farmer? How about earning a handsome amount from the stubble left 
behind in your field instead of burning it and adding to the pollution 
level? How about also getting bio-fertiliser and sustainable energy in 
the same deal?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An IIT-Delhi team has provided technical support 
to Asia&#039;s first biogas-based power plant which is now operating on paddy
straw for large-scale biogas production in Fazilka, Punjab. The system 
is based on 100% use of paddy straw and has been generating nearly 4,000
cubic metres per day of biogas from 10 tonnes of straw. This is in turn
generating 1MW power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This sounds like welcome way out of the 
pollution mess that the capital has found itself in. Going by reports, 
70% of Delhi&#039;s air pollution is due to stubble burning in Punjab, 
Haryana and other parts of north India. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professor V K Vijay of 
Centre for Rural Development and Technology (CRDT) of IIT-D said paddy 
straw, if not burnt, could yield 2.181 million tonnes of oil equivalent 
or 25,365 gigaWatt hours per year. &amp;quot;Straw burning can be avoided through
installation of commercial biogas industries by using these agro 
biomass for both power generation and bio-fertiliser production to 
enrich soil health. The present level of utilisation at Fazilka has 
shown a saving of 120 gigaJoules per day energy which otherwise would 
have been released to the atmosphere by direct combustion along with the
release of enormous pollutants,&amp;quot; said Vijay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He added, &amp;quot;Burning 
straw biomass amounts to 30kg of particulate matter, 600kg of carbon 
monoxide, 14.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 20kg of sulphur dioxide 
emissions, which have significant toxicological properties and are 
potential carcinogens.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhinav Trivedi, a doctoral fellow 
working under the guidance of Vijay, developed this process that has 
better efficiency than conventional processes for biogas generation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr
Ramchandra of CRDT said the project was started in December 2011 by the
Punjab government in association with Sampurn Agri Ventures Pvt Ltd. 
&amp;quot;After our intervention for around six months, the plant is running for 
nearly eight hours per day for the same amount of straw against two 
hours earlier. It is generating 7,500 kiloWatt hour per day and nearly 
five tonnes of bio-fertilisers per day,&amp;quot; he said. Ramchandra also said 
that the system was able to harness over 45% of energy available in the 
material. 
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Are 
you a farmer? How about earning a handsome amount from the stubble left 
behind in your field instead of burning it and adding to the pollution 
level? How about also getting bio-fertiliser and sustainable energy in 
the same deal?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An IIT-Delhi team has provided technical support 
to Asia&#039;s first biogas-based power plant which is now operating on paddy
straw for large-scale biogas production in Fazilka, Punjab. The system 
is based on 100% use of paddy straw and has been generating nearly 4,000
cubic metres per day of biogas from 10 tonnes of straw. This is in turn
generating 1MW power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This sounds like welcome way out of the 
pollution mess that the capital has found itself in. Going by reports, 
70% of Delhi&#039;s air pollution is due to stubble burning in Punjab, 
Haryana and other parts of north India. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professor V K Vijay of 
Centre for Rural Development and Technology (CRDT) of IIT-D said paddy 
straw, if not burnt, could yield 2.181 million tonnes of oil equivalent 
or 25,365 gigaWatt hours per year. &amp;quot;Straw burning can be avoided through
installation of commercial biogas industries by using these agro 
biomass for both power generation and bio-fertiliser production to 
enrich soil health. The present level of utilisation at Fazilka has 
shown a saving of 120 gigaJoules per day energy which otherwise would 
have been released to the atmosphere by direct combustion along with the
release of enormous pollutants,&amp;quot; said Vijay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He added, &amp;quot;Burning 
straw biomass amounts to 30kg of particulate matter, 600kg of carbon 
monoxide, 14.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 20kg of sulphur dioxide 
emissions, which have significant toxicological properties and are 
potential carcinogens.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhinav Trivedi, a doctoral fellow 
working under the guidance of Vijay, developed this process that has 
better efficiency than conventional processes for biogas generation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr
Ramchandra of CRDT said the project was started in December 2011 by the
Punjab government in association with Sampurn Agri Ventures Pvt Ltd. 
&amp;quot;After our intervention for around six months, the plant is running for 
nearly eight hours per day for the same amount of straw against two 
hours earlier. It is generating 7,500 kiloWatt hour per day and nearly 
five tonnes of bio-fertilisers per day,&amp;quot; he said. Ramchandra also said 
that the system was able to harness over 45% of energy available in the 
material.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Are 
you a farmer? How about earning a handsome amount from the stubble left 
behind in your field instead of burning it and adding to the pollution 
level? How about also getting bio-fertiliser and sustainable energy in 
the same deal?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An IIT-Delhi team has provided technical support 
to Asia&#039;s first biogas-based power plant which is now operating on paddy
straw for large-scale biogas production in Fazilka, Punjab. The system 
is based on 100% use of paddy straw and has been generating nearly 4,000
cubic metres per day of biogas from 10 tonnes of straw. This is in turn
generating 1MW power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This sounds like welcome way out of the 
pollution mess that the capital has found itself in. Going by reports, 
70% of Delhi&#039;s air pollution is due to stubble burning in Punjab, 
Haryana and other parts of north India. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professor V K Vijay of 
Centre for Rural Development and Technology (CRDT) of IIT-D said paddy 
straw, if not burnt, could yield 2.181 million tonnes of oil equivalent 
or 25,365 gigaWatt hours per year. &amp;quot;Straw burning can be avoided through
installation of commercial biogas industries by using these agro 
biomass for both power generation and bio-fertiliser production to 
enrich soil health. The present level of utilisation at Fazilka has 
shown a saving of 120 gigaJoules per day energy which otherwise would 
have been released to the atmosphere by direct combustion along with the
release of enormous pollutants,&amp;quot; said Vijay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He added, &amp;quot;Burning 
straw biomass amounts to 30kg of particulate matter, 600kg of carbon 
monoxide, 14.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 20kg of sulphur dioxide 
emissions, which have significant toxicological properties and are 
potential carcinogens.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhinav Trivedi, a doctoral fellow 
working under the guidance of Vijay, developed this process that has 
better efficiency than conventional processes for biogas generation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr
Ramchandra of CRDT said the project was started in December 2011 by the
Punjab government in association with Sampurn Agri Ventures Pvt Ltd. 
&amp;quot;After our intervention for around six months, the plant is running for 
nearly eight hours per day for the same amount of straw against two 
hours earlier. It is generating 7,500 kiloWatt hour per day and nearly 
five tonnes of bio-fertilisers per day,&amp;quot; he said. Ramchandra also said 
that the system was able to harness over 45% of energy available in the 
material. 
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Are 
you a farmer? How about earning a handsome amount from the stubble left 
behind in your field instead of burning it and adding to the pollution 
level? How about also getting bio-fertiliser and sustainable energy in 
the same deal?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An IIT-Delhi team has provided technical support 
to Asia&#039;s first biogas-based power plant which is now operating on paddy
straw for large-scale biogas production in Fazilka, Punjab. The system 
is based on 100% use of paddy straw and has been generating nearly 4,000
cubic metres per day of biogas from 10 tonnes of straw. This is in turn
generating 1MW power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This sounds like welcome way out of the 
pollution mess that the capital has found itself in. Going by reports, 
70% of Delhi&#039;s air pollution is due to stubble burning in Punjab, 
Haryana and other parts of north India. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Professor V K Vijay of 
Centre for Rural Development and Technology (CRDT) of IIT-D said paddy 
straw, if not burnt, could yield 2.181 million tonnes of oil equivalent 
or 25,365 gigaWatt hours per year. &amp;quot;Straw burning can be avoided through
installation of commercial biogas industries by using these agro 
biomass for both power generation and bio-fertiliser production to 
enrich soil health. The present level of utilisation at Fazilka has 
shown a saving of 120 gigaJoules per day energy which otherwise would 
have been released to the atmosphere by direct combustion along with the
release of enormous pollutants,&amp;quot; said Vijay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He added, &amp;quot;Burning 
straw biomass amounts to 30kg of particulate matter, 600kg of carbon 
monoxide, 14.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 20kg of sulphur dioxide 
emissions, which have significant toxicological properties and are 
potential carcinogens.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abhinav Trivedi, a doctoral fellow 
working under the guidance of Vijay, developed this process that has 
better efficiency than conventional processes for biogas generation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr
Ramchandra of CRDT said the project was started in December 2011 by the
Punjab government in association with Sampurn Agri Ventures Pvt Ltd. 
&amp;quot;After our intervention for around six months, the plant is running for 
nearly eight hours per day for the same amount of straw against two 
hours earlier. It is generating 7,500 kiloWatt hour per day and nearly 
five tonnes of bio-fertilisers per day,&amp;quot; he said. Ramchandra also said 
that the system was able to harness over 45% of energy available in the 
material. 
&lt;/div&gt;

<em>New Delhi: </em>Are

An IIT-Delhi team has provided technical support 
to Asia's first biogas-based power plant which is now operating on paddy
straw for large-scale biogas production in Fazilka, Punjab. The system 
is based on 100% use of paddy straw and has been generating nearly 4,000
cubic metres per day of biogas from 10 tonnes of straw. This is in turn
generating 1MW power.<br />
<br />
This sounds like welcome way out of the 
pollution mess that the capital has found itself in. Going by reports, 
70% of Delhi's air pollution is due to stubble burning in Punjab, 
Haryana and other parts of north India. <br />
<br />
Professor V K Vijay of 
Centre for Rural Development and Technology (CRDT) of IIT-D said paddy 
straw, if not burnt, could yield 2.181 million tonnes of oil equivalent 
or 25,365 gigaWatt hours per year. &quot;Straw burning can be avoided through
installation of commercial biogas industries by using these agro 
biomass for both power generation and bio-fertiliser production to 
enrich soil health. The present level of utilisation at Fazilka has 
shown a saving of 120 gigaJoules per day energy which otherwise would 
have been released to the atmosphere by direct combustion along with the
release of enormous pollutants,&quot; said Vijay.<br />
<br />
He added, &quot;Burning 
straw biomass amounts to 30kg of particulate matter, 600kg of carbon 
monoxide, 14.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide and 20kg of sulphur dioxide 
emissions, which have significant toxicological properties and are 
potential carcinogens.&quot; <br />
<br />
Abhinav Trivedi, a doctoral fellow 
working under the guidance of Vijay, developed this process that has 
better efficiency than conventional processes for biogas generation.<br />
<br />
Dr
Ramchandra of CRDT said the project was started in December 2011 by the
Punjab government in association with Sampurn Agri Ventures Pvt Ltd. 
&quot;After our intervention for around six months, the plant is running for 
nearly eight hours per day for the same amount of straw against two 
hours earlier. It is generating 7,500 kiloWatt hour per day and nearly 
five tonnes of bio-fertilisers per day,&quot; he said. Ramchandra also said 
that the system was able to harness over 45% of energy available in the 
material.
