NEW DELHI, Aug 20 (Xinhua): A bamboo-fuelled eco-friendly power station is to come up in Mizoram to help meet the energy needs of India's northeast, according to Indo-Asian News Service Sunday.
The power station will be set up in a village at an estimated cost of 28.5 million Rupees (0.62 million US dollars).
"This cost-effective project has been conceived by the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, along with the Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies, a private enterprise," said Benjamin L Tlumtea, project coordinator of the Zoram Energy Development Agency (ZEDA).
Bamboo would be first harvested and then dried before it is processed for feedstock to produce gas, which would finally get converted to electricity.
