To curb the toxic effects of burning fossil fuels, MCL is preparing eco-friendly biofuels. BioCNG and Biodiesel are viable options to be used in the existing infrastructure. The end-products are of superior quality and cheaper than conventional fuels.
Farmers are unable to produce food crops on infertile land. MCL promotes and trains the farmers to grow energy crops and biomass on such land. This provides farmers with a source of income as well. Organic farming is also promoted on land fit for food produce.
The combustion of fossil fuels generate a lot of air pollution, contributing to about 7 million premature human deaths worldwide every year while severely affecting fishing, agriculture and forestry too.
Human activity is affecting the environment and its components faster than it has ever changed in history. Extinction of species along with number of natural calamities in the past 100 years has increases substantially.
The project is for rural entrepreneurs providing them opportunity to develop biomass farm, harvesting, collection and transportation network of biomass/energy crops. The project involves active participation of Gram Panchayat, leading rural entrepreneurs, and farmers. The raw material input in MVP is the mixed solid waste collected from households of the area of jurisdiction of Gram Panchayat. The obtained material is then pre-processed to filter out and segregate matter on the basis of size and material of construction. The matter acceptable to the ROGWell is then sent to the MBEproject for further treatment after volume reduction.
Excessive and constant use of chemical fertilizer degrades the quality of soil. Humans that inhale these chemicals or consume food products grown using them are at a high risk of diseases like cancer.
