Air and land pollution caused by open burning of crop residue is currently a major pain point in parts of Goa and the has decided to curb this practice by collecting and converting tree andbio-wasteintogreen fuelknown asbiomass briquettes.
The briquettes are compressed and are a proven way of generating energy from waste. They contain various organic materials such as rice husk, solid waste, agricultural waste, etc. all commonly referred to as Biomass.
The proposed biomass-based RENEWABLE ENERGY project is first-of-its-kind in Goa which will help reduce open dumping and burning of <a href="https://exam.pscnotes.com/Agriculture-notes-for-state-psc-exams”>Agriculture waste and will help bring down the carbon footprint by replacing fossil fuels with biomass briquettes.
Verna Industrial Estate itself requires about 100 tons per day for the boilers operating on biomass briquettes after the ban on furnace oil. Biomass in Goa currently remains unutilized and briquettes are sourced from other states.
