Mysore/Mysuru: Director of NIE-CREST S. Shamsundar has observed that “The country can become self-reliant by encouraging the production and utilisation of biofuel, as in the current scenario the country is importing 80 percent of crude oil.”
“By encouraging the utilisation of biofuel, we can bring down the gamut of importing crude oil, besides controlling the temperature levels. Mysuru City alone produces 400 tonnes of garbage per day, with 80% of the garbage being wet waste. Wet waste can be used for producing biofuel, with NIE-CREST having the required technology,” he added.
