Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh: In a push to strengthen energy self-reliance and reduce carbon emissions, Cane Commissioner Ministhy S has instructed all units of the sugarcane department to ensure the compulsory installation of solar power systems. The order covers departmental offices, cooperative cane societies, cane development councils, and sugar mills, reports The Times of India.

nder the agreement, the sugar company will produce compressed biogas (CBG) from agricultural waste and by-products generated during sugar manufacturing. GAIL and MNGL will facilitate the offtake, transportation, and distribution of the biogas for use in city gas distribution networks.

According to ISMA, supporting biofuel production and related technologies would not only help cut emissions and reduce crude oil imports but also provide alternative demand channels for excess sugar output, aiding rural incomes and stabilizing the broader sugar sector.
