Can IIT Bombay’s leaf-to-gas technology help tackle India’s LPG crisis? Know how it works

IIT Bombay has pioneered a patented biomass gasification technology, transforming dry leaf waste into cooking fuel. This innovation significantly cuts LPG use by 30-40% on campus, with the staff canteen already benefiting. The system, refined over years, produces clean-burning producer gas, offering substantial cost savings and environmental benefits, with plans for wider hostel deployment.
