What is ‘BioTRIG?

Pyrolysis is a novel waste management technique used by the BioTRIG waste management system in rural India to improve soil health, reduce indoor air pollution, and produce clean power. Operating on a community scale, it makes use of waste that is produced nearby to produce biochar fertilizer, syngas, and biooil. By supplying excess electricity to nearby residences and businesses and energizing subsequent cycles, these products not only promote healthier living but also sustainability. While biochar helps to improve soil fertility and store carbon, clean-burning bio-oil is a greener option for cooking in homes.
