Every year, Indian rice farmers burn around 36 million tons of rice straw. And every year, this releases more than 54 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to 30% of the CO2 emissions of The Netherlands! What if we could reduce our CO2 emissions by 30%?
Rice straw, the by-product of rice cultivation, is an incredibly valuable material. Why burn it when you can instead convert it into high-quality, sustainable and competitive products?
The Biomass India initiative is as simple as it is effective: buying the rice straw instead of burning it, and transforming it into climate positive products* with the help of Dutch and Indian investors, retailers and technical experts. And maybe you?
