TERI Demonstrates Biomass Gasifier for Affordable Community Cooking Amid Rising LPG Costs
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has showcased its biomass gasifier technology as a cost-effective alternative for large-scale cooking, amid rising LPG costs and supply disruptions. Originally developed in 1995, the gasifier converts agricultural residues and wood chips into a clean combustible gas. The system, now upgraded, is being used for institutional and community cooking, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. A live demonstration at TERI's campus in New Delhi highlighted its capacity to prepare meals for 300 people daily, showcasing its potential to deliver consistent, scalable, and affordable energy. The technology has been implemented across various sectors in India, offering significant fuel cost savings and reduced carbon emissions.
