Q. What is ‘BioTRIG’, recently seen in the news?
Answer:
Waste management technology
Notes: The BioTRIG, a revolutionary waste management technology, employs pyrolysis to combat indoor air pollution, enhance soil health, and generate clean power in rural India. Functioning at the community level, it utilizes locally generated waste, producing bio-oil, syngas, and biochar fertilizer. These products not only contribute to healthier living but also ensure sustainability by powering subsequent cycles and supplying surplus electricity to local homes and businesses. The clean-burning bio-oil serves as a green alternative for household cooking, while biochar aids in carbon storage and soil fertility improvement.
