About BioTRIG:

It is a new waste management technology based on the pyrolysis system.

It works by sealing the waste inside an oxygen-free chamber and heating it above 400 degrees Celsius. Useful chemicals are produced in the process.

In the study, the researchers outlined that three products of pyrolysis — bio-oil, syngas and biochar fertilizer — could help rural Indians live healthier and greener lives.

Significance

The syngas and bio-oil facilitate heat and power the pyrolysis system in future cycles and surplus electricity is utilized to power local homes and businesses.

The clean-burning bio-oil to replace dirty cooking fuels in homes and using biochar to store carbon, while improving soil fertility.

Computer simulations showed that the BioTRIG system could also be effective in real- world applications.

It could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from communities by nearly 350 kg of CO2-eq per capita per annum.

It could help rural Indians cut indoor air pollution, improve soil health, and generate clean power

What is Pyrolysis:

It is a kind of chemical recycling that turns leftover organic materials into their component molecules.

It works by sealing the waste inside an oxygen-free chamber and heating it to more than 400 degrees Celsius, producing useful chemicals in the process.
