Biochar Facility Opens in Himachal to Reduce Forest Fires

A new research facility in Himachal Pradesh is using biomass to make biochar, which helps reduce forest fires.

This facility uses things like pine needles and bamboo to create biochar, which improves soil health and reduces greenhouse gases.

It also helps local communities by providing jobs and training.

The facility is a result of a partnership between a university, the forest department, and a private company.

It aims to make the environment better and create sustainable livelihoods for people in the area.
