IIT Bombay turns fallen leaves into cooking fuel, cuts hostel LPG use by 60%

IIT Bombay has launched an innovative project aimed at turning garden waste, such as fallen leaves, into eco-friendly cooking fuel pellets. These pellets not only substitute LPG for feeding approximately 1,200 students but also utilize a downdraft gasifier to extract producer gas from biomass. By adopting this initiative, the institution saves nearly Rs 50 lakh annually on waste disposal while advancing sustainable energy practices on campus.
