Investors were informed that there is abundance of biomass such as agricultural waste, waste from dairy industry, waste from fruit and vegetable markets, cow dung in the entire rural landscape of Chhattisgarh state, which has immense potential for large-scale production of green hydrogen by processing it with appropriate technology.
