The Combustion, Gasification and Propulsion Laboratory (CGPL), at the Indian Institute of Science, is involved in innovative research and development activity in the field of Bio-resources.

It carries out basic research as well as developing applications such as the gasification of a wide range of different forms of biomass including agro-residues. These techniques have been perfected to produce small independent power plants, which could serve the thermal or electricity needs of industry or rural society.

In addition to developing efficient ways of harnessing energy through gasification, technique s for obtaining value added products such as activated carbon and precipitated silica have also been developed.

CGPL addresses address the energy requirements of biomass-based industries and ais to offer turnkey solutions

The laboratory also houses the Indian branch of the Biomass Users Network (BUN) and produces a BUN newsletter every three months.

The aim is to

• share success stories from field experiences; learn lessons from failures and problems on the use of bio-residues,solid ,liquid and agro wastes, for energy and other end uses.
• Produce a Newsletter once every 3 months. for energy and other end uses.
• To organize a meeting at the end of the year and publish a report regarding the activities of the project. for energy and other end uses.
• Develop Strategy in order to create awareness about the presence of BUN India.
