Despite worsening air quality in several parts of North India and pollution levels posing a threat to the health of people, stubble burning continues in Punjab and also in a few other northern states.
Amid high pollution levels in the national capital in November last year, Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri met Claudius da Costa Gomez, CEO of the German Biogas Association to find a solution to stubble burning as Germany is a world leader in producing biogas from stubble.
