Researchers at MIT World Peace University have developed a groundbreaking carbon-negative process that generates both biogas and green hydrogen from mixed agricultural waste at a pilot plant with a capacity of 500 kg per day. This process, which achieves a biomass-to-gas conversion efficiency of 12%, utilizes diverse feedstocks, including millet trash, making it suitable for drought-prone regions.

The technology not only addresses energy needs but also produces valuable byproducts like biochar and biofertilizers, aiming to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers. With industry interest for technology transfer, this innovation could significantly impact India's green hydrogen mission.
