Project Pyrasol:
-
Project Pyrasol is a part of the Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC) flagship programme 2+2 Project.
-
Aim: To transform urban organic waste into biochar(charcoal produced by pyrolysis) and energy in smart cities.
-
Awarded to: The project was awarded to CSIR-CLRI by the Indo-German Science & Technology Centre.
-
Significance:
-
The project will lead to technology development for the joint processing of Fibrous Organic Waste(FOW) and Sewage Sludge (SS) of Indian smart cities.
-
These FOW and SS will get converted into hygienic and highly valuable biochar.
-
Apart from that, the joint processing will also perform associated energy recovery, carbon sequestration and environmental improvement.
