Pyrolysis-based decentralized biorefinery can reduce residue open burning

Biochar use as carbon sink or coal substitute determines the environmental impacts, as per the study

Crop residues are an abundantly available lignocellulosic feedstock that can provide multiple value-added products in a biorefinery (Kamm, 2007). However, approximately 24% of the generated residue is burned in the fields in India (Ravindra et al., 2019).

It was environmentally beneficial to treat biomass locally rather than in a centralized unit. (Image: Zack Dowell)
