A north eastern Indian state, Mizoram, set to make an environment-friendly power station that will run on bamboo. The state, it is claimed, possibly will be the first in the world to use bamboo for producing power.

The project coordinator, Mr. Tlumtea told United News of India, "Our unique power station will use bamboo to generate electricity. This project will not only be cost-effective but also high eco-friendly."

He said the power generation formula from bamboo was simple. The harvested bamboo would be dried and processed for feedstock to produce gas.

He also informed that the project will be based on gas produced by bamboo as feedstock.
