Bioenergy Key to Decarbonizing India's MSMEs: Minister

Bioenergy Key to Decarbonizing India's MSMEs: Minister

India's Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy and Power, Shripad Yesso Naik, talked about how important bioenergy is for making small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) cleaner.

He said that bioenergy isn't just about making electricity but also helps with things like managing waste, reducing pollution, and creating jobs in rural areas.

Right now, many MSMEs use dirty fuels like coal, but the government wants them to switch to cleaner options like biomass.

This can help farmers and rural entrepreneurs make more money while also cutting down on pollution.

The government has special programs to help with this, and they're working with other countries to get better technology.

The minister said that everyone involved, from farmers to companies, needs to work together to make this happen.
