Mizoram to produce electricity from bamboo

A bamboo-fuelled eco-friendly power station is to come up in Mizoram to help meet the energy needs of India’s northeast. Mizoram produces annually 3.2 million tonnes of bamboo, which has never been tapped to generate electricity.

“With the help of such bamboo power projects and power generation through other non-conventional schemes, the state will surely solve its energy crisis,” said Benjamin L. Tlumtea, project coordinator of Zoram Energy Development Agency (ZEDA).
