An evaluation on energy self–sufficiency model of a rural cluster through utilization of biomass residue resources: A case study in India
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential of biomass resources in a rural area for decentralized power generation to reduce the dependence on imported fossil fuels by making them self-sufficient for energy needs and mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gasification of cotton stalk in a downdraft gasifier
TL;DR: In this paper, a renewable, sustainable, and environs sustainable form of energy supply is needed, which is a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels utilization, which causes a lot of environmental pollution.
