Punjab New and Renewable Energy Sources Minister Aman Arora on Friday directed the officials to work out modalities for testing and encouraging utilization of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) produced by Compressed Biogas (CBG) plant as bi-product. “Compressed Biogas (CBG) plants are the answer to thwart stubble burning problem in scientific ways as these plants generate clean and green energy from paddy straw and other agro-residue, while creating extra income source for the farmers,” said Arora, while presiding over the maiden meeting of a 21-member Task Force constituted to discuss and create an enabling mechanism for off-take of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) generated from CBG projects based on agro-residue. He said that these types of projects will be benefiting the farmers in multiple ways as these plants use crop residual as raw material and collect the paddy stubble from their fields without putting any financial burden on them.
