Prosopis Juliflora
Prosopis Juliflora and Climate Change: Energy and Livelihoods of People in Semi-Arid Drought Prone Areas by Dr. N. Sai Bhaskar Reddy explores the ecological and socio-economic impacts of Prosopis juliflora, a plant that has become an invasive species in many parts of India. Initially introduced for land rehabilitation, its aggressive spread has affected grasslands, forests, and agricultural lands, raising significant concerns among ecologists and farmers. The book discusses strategies for managing this invasion and leveraging the plant for bioenergy to support rural livelihoods in drought-prone areas
Stubble Burning
Dr. N Sai Bhaskar Reddy authored the book "How to Resolve the Stubble Burning Pollution Challenge". This book addresses the environmental and health issues caused by the widespread practice of stubble burning, a common agricultural technique in many regions. It presents various solutions to mitigate the problem, including the conversion of crop residues into biochar through low-cost in-situ pyrolysis technologies. The book is designed to be useful for practitioners in the field as well as policymakers aiming to address this significant pollution challenge.
Understanding Stoves
Dr. N Sai Bhaskar Reddy's book, "Understanding Stoves: For Environment and Humanity," delves into the development and promotion of fuel-efficient stoves in India. It covers a decade of his research and fieldwork, exploring various biomass types, such as wood, leaves, dung, pellets, and briquettes, and their use in different stove designs. The book emphasizes the environmental and health benefits of these stoves, including reduced smoke emissions and the production of biochar as a by-product, making it a vital resource for sustainable energy solutions
