[00:01:45]Today is a very special day because this biochar unit has been inaugurated.

[00:01:56]And as all know this unit is not just about biochar. It's a It's a plant that is going to have multiple benefits.

[00:02:12]Because of the soil condition that we have in our state acidic as well as a lot of rainfall and the availability of bamboo abundantly makes the production of biochar a very very feasible proposition.

[00:02:35]And as you know, this product is going to help improve the overall health of the soil.

[00:02:45]Whether it's reduction of the acidity whether it's holding on to the nutrients that are there in the soil whether it's improving the overall water retention capacity.

[00:02:59]So, biochar have got a very very positive impact on the soil condition.

[00:03:07]And therefore, this is a very very important project because it will help thousands of farmers improve the soil condition which will then further improve the overall productivity of the products that they are growing in their fields.

[00:03:30]And not only that as we have heard earlier that the bamboo will be also procured from the farmers themselves.

[00:03:41]So, it is not just the biochar users will benefit but the farmers who who provide the bamboo will also benefit out of that.

[00:03:57]And these two uh pyrolysis uh units that have been set up out here as you're aware that uh in the entire process of carbon uh sequestration tion these are very very powerful means of locking the carbon in the air.

[00:04:21]Because we know that once the bamboos, they rot they die they give back the carbon into the atmosphere.

[00:04:31]But after we do the process of uh this pyrolysis uh step that we'll be doing and producing the biochar we are actually able to lock these carbons, the CO2 and keep it in the soil for hundreds of years.

[00:04:51]So therefore, the benefit and the as correctly mentioned by Mr. Ashutosh that these are more uh determined and more proven ways of ensuring that we're able to really reduce the carbon emissions and the greenhouse gases that are there which affect the overall climate change in the entire world.

[00:05:15]So therefore, carbon credits are something that are very very much uh happening and this again will help uh the farmers directly.

[00:05:26]And apart from all of this, we know that uh whether it's bio oil or whether it's the syngas that comes out as a byproduct of this pyrolysis uh unit out here that these are also products that can further be used into many many many other uses.

[00:05:46]As mentioned by our CEO, that the entire uh you know, the the gas and syngas that comes out is again further used to power the units themselves.

[00:05:57]And if this unit is increased in size, then we'll be actually able to power even the ginger processing unit that is there behind us.

[00:06:07]So, hence these kind of byproducts, which are very, very much environmentally beneficial, are also some things that will come out.

[00:06:17]And the bio-oil, as we know, is also another byproduct which comes out, which can be used as uh pesticides, which are bio-pesticides. It can be used as biofuel. It can be used for different kind of energy. And multiple uses are there for this bio-oil also. So, therefore, uh this unit is a very, very self-sustaining unit, a very uh eco-friendly unit, and a unit, as I said, that has got multiple environmental impacts.

[00:06:48]And more importantly, it really helps the farmers, both the supplier of the bamboo as well as the user of the biochar, to ensure that they are able to improve the productivity in the long run. And of course, the uh the the society and the company and the corporation that is running this thousands of farmers are impacted, and many, many local jobs and livelihood is also created because of this of this particular plant. And hence, it's something that we are really hopeful that we'll we'll expand in the future.

[00:07:22]I'm very happy to see the two reports that have come out for areca nut and for bamboo. And I'm sure that this will also help us to further map how we should move forward in the future.

[00:07:34]And hence, our journey has just begun.

[00:07:37]We have a long way to go, but I'm happy to see that we are on the right track and we're moving in the right direction and with the commitment that has been shown by our farmers, by our entrepreneurs and all the local leaders who are here.

[00:07:54]I am sure that we will be able to reach the target that we want. So, wishing this particular project the very best and wishing each one of you the very best for the future. May God bless each and every one of you and may God bless our state of Meghalaya. Thank you so much.
