Giving an impetus to its commitment to increase use of bio-fuel, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to implement a bio-energy policy that will help in curtailing use of fossil fuel as well as help in increasing the income of farmers. The decision was taken in a cabinet meeting here on Tuesday as the government also adopted a resolution to formulate a new MSME promotion policy.
Energy Minister AK Sharma, while briefing mediapersons, said here that the state government was determined to solve the problem of burning agricultural waste (perali) in the fields.
Agricultural waste, agricultural produce market waste, livestock waste, sugar mill waste, urban waste and other organic waste available in abundance will be used in generating bio-fuel.
