Trident Protects Over 2000 Acres from Stubble Burning

New Delhi – November 28, 2024 – Each year, stubble burning releases high concentrations of particulate matter, pushing the Air Quality Index (AQI) in regions like Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi NCR to “severe” levels. These pollutants not only degrade air quality but also contribute to seasonal health crises.

As a transformative step, Trident Group has adopted the use of parali (paddy stubble) as a fuel source in its industrial boilers, preventing the burning of stubble from approximately 2000 acres of land. This practice, commonly used to clear fields post-harvest, is a primary contributor to the hazardous Air Quality Index (AQI) levels in Northern India, with cities like Delhi seeing AQI readings exceed 400 during peak season—levels deemed “severe” and dangerous for public health.

Traditional stubble burning releases high concentrations of particulate matter contributing to respiratory issues, smog, and a significant rise in pollution across Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi NCR. These emissions, often attributed to over 44% of Delhi’s seasonal pollution spike, have made stubble burning a critical environmental and public health issue.

Trident’s use of parali as a sustainable fuel is a step towards mitigating these emissions, directly reducing air pollution and promoting a circular economy approach. By converting this agricultural waste into energy, Trident exemplifies a solution that addresses both environmental sustainability and public health, setting a benchmark for responsible industrial practices.
