PAU inks pact with Mumbai-based firm for commercialisation of biogas plant

In a bid to curb environmental damage due to the burning of straw, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has signed an agreement with a Mumbai-based firm Spectron Engineers Private Limited for the commercialisation of the paddy straw-based biogas plant. Explaining the working of the plant, experts said that the latest method through which anaerobic digestion i.e. dry fermentation of organic wastes is carried out requires little labour and produces biogas for three months.
