The Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) has entered into a strategic partnership with Gas Authority of India (GAIL) to address the issue of stubble burning. This collaboration underscores their joint commitment to mitigating agricultural residue burning by promoting the adoption of new and renewable energy solutions. By joining forces, PEDA and GAIL aim to leverage innovative approaches in the utilisation of biomass and other agro-waste for energy production, offering sustainable alternatives to stubble burning. The emphasis on new and renewable energy aligns with broader environmental goals, promoting cleaner and more sustainable practices in the agricultural sector. The partnership is set to contribute to the reduction of air pollution resulting from stubble burning, while simultaneously promoting the diversification of energy sources in the region. As Punjab seeks effective solutions to the stubble burning challenge, the collaboration between PEDA and GAIL exemplifies a proactive approach towards integrating eco-friendly practices into the agricultural landscape, fostering both environmental and energy sustainability.
