Co-generation Power Plant at Nagda Site

LANXESS India, the subsidiary of German specialty chemicals company LANXESS AG, has started up the production of a state-of-the-art co-generation power plant at its manufacturing site in Nagda, Madhya Pradesh today. The cogeneration plant, which is fuelled by the biomass fuel - soya husk, will meet virtually most of the power requirements of the basic chemicals plant of LANXESS at the site. LANXESS will significantly reduce its carbon footprint by 70,000 metric tons of coal per year and thus reduce about 95,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. In comparison, the combustion of biomass as a fuel is carbon neutral for the environment.

that farmer doesnt look like someone who is doing so well.... I wonder how much they get paid for the soya husks... they could easily use them for mulching to reintroduce nutrients into the soil instead of buying fertilizers from corporations like Monsanto...
