Portable Tech Turns Farm Waste Into Carbon-Rich Biochar
To fight North India’s stubble-burning crisis, Takachar has developed a portable machine that turns crop waste into biochar using a thermo-chemical process. Designed to be tractor-mounted and low-cost, it can process up to 1 ton per hour. Already in use across Punjab and Haryana, this innovation combines clean air, rural income, and sustainable farming.
