  • The Indian Oil Corporation’s 2G ethanol plant at Panipat, Haryana, which will be commissioned next month, will process 2.1 lakh metric tonne of dry rice straw annually and convert it to 3 crore litre of ethanol, a biofuel. Farmers in Haryana and Punjab have been burning rice straw left after harvesting, causing severe pollution.

    Stubble can be used for making organic Fertilizers like vermicompost, mulching material to increase pro farming ecosystem in soil. The Hay can be used to cultivate mushrooms and feed for animals(wheat hay). And hay bales can be used for construction and insulation and packing material
    Why don't we address the elephant in the room, Farmers are just lazy and do not want to do anything which requires extra effort and all of which can generate income. But it's just easier to light fire along the wind and watch farm burn than gather the stubble and collect.
    So gives a reason that govt is not giving subsidy, 🙄 stubble could be monetized better even without subsidy.
    Idk why farmers are running behind subsidy like kids behind lollipop.
    And traditionally we south Indians are paddy cultivators, never has stubble been a problem here as we know how to process it and ever rices stalk is used for weaving baskets and handicrafts.

      @@gauravshukla75 Rice husk can be gasified to produce liquid fuels via Fischer Tropsch. Risk husk is ligincellulosic biomass.
      Few people realize that all of the arguments against biofuels are cherry picked and electrification has ligitimite issues besides coal being used to produce electricity.
      Biofuels made from agricultural or forestry residues does not cause land use change. Cover crops, marine plants, and bioenergy crops grown to restore land also do not require land use change.
      Biofuels made from the following sources above do not cooperate with food production.
      Making biofuels by pyrolysis of ligincellulosic biomass produces biochar which stores carbon permanently in soil. Therefore biofuels can be carbon negative which means that they can reduce atmospheric co2 to restore the climate to its pre industrial state.
      Electric vehicles will increase electricity demand which will require either more power lines or more voltage through existing power lines. Both can ignite wildfires like the ones in California. Wildfires can also burn underground as well which means that burying power lines will not eliminate ignition risk.
      Electric vehicles increase electricity demand which would mean more SF6 gas. SF6 is the single most potent greenhouse gas.
      Electric vehicles divert materials away from houses specifically copper. Housing is more important than transportation. CNBC mentions this is there video “Why the US can’t build houses fast enough”.
      Electric vehicle battery fires contaminate the environment with Manganese oxide, Nickel oxide and Hydrogen fluoride. There is already enough heavy metals in the environment so do you really want to risk adding more? Hydrogen fluoride is toxic if inhaled. It is very difficult to create a battery which is energy dense, non flammable and non toxic all at the same time.
