Bamboo Plantations Along the Yamuna Bank Can Sequester Carbon from Delhi’s Polluted Air

How about planting bamboo extensively along the banks of the Yamuna to sequester the carbon from Delhi’s vehicle emissions? According to the World Bank, India’s per person emission of carbon dioxide was 1,730 kg a year in 2014. Another website says this has risen to 1,900 kg in 2016. Bharathi Nambi, a scientist says it will take just five bamboos a year to make an Indian carbon neutral because each of them absorbs about 400 kg of CO2 a year.

Dense planting of bamboo on the banks of the Yamuna, he says, will not only absorb CO2 but also bring down particulate matter. The plant is an “excellent scavenger,” he says; its roots do not go below two feet, so it can absorb rich nutrients in raw sewage that flow untreated into the Yamuna and raise its bio-oxygen demand. During rainy season, the clumps will slow the flow and reduce the chances of flooding downstream. Submergence does not affect the plants. There will be economic benefits in the form of employment and income.

THE BEEMA BAMBOO TO ENERGY PROJECT

        The project scope entails the cultivation of 500 hectares of Beema bamboo in the Ilembe District , the setup of a laboratory and nursery at the Dube Trade Port and a power plant (3.6MWe) in Isithebe. The project kick of date is November 2013, with planting of the bamboo shoots starting in Decembe2013/ January 2014.This initiative in South Africa is a national demonstration project that will enhance the use of the Beema bamboo biomass feedstock for the generation of electricity

.  The growing of bamboo will assist Eskom in acquiring much needed sustainable biomass feedstock for the co-firing of their power stations. Eskom has to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels by 10%, and replace it with a sustainable biomass feedstock by 2026. Readmore

'Bio-mass industry has huge potential'

BIO-MASS industry was not growing like solar and other sectors in India as there was dearth of feedstock, said Dr Nimba Barathi. Managing Director of Growmore Bio-Tech Limited while speaking at the TiF Huh conference on Clean Tech on Monday.

Dr Barathi who had discovered Beema bamboo as one of the best solution for generating energy said that from Beema bamboo, one can take 40 tonnes of yield per acre every year. One can do long-term contracts from Beema bamboo and it has been proved also. Readmore
