The Maharashtra Model
The Maharashtra Model utilizes waste from cashew nut residues to generate green energy, bio-oil and biochar. The project also tackles the issue of rising air pollution in India, as farmers and industries are burning waste residues from agriculture. Among the co-benefits from the use of biochar are water and nutrient retention and increase of crop yield.

Vision
MASH Makes transforms leftover crop residues after the harvest into useable green products, such as bio-oil and biochar using pyrolysis, a process where biomass is heated without oxygen.
