* Loughborough University engineering experts are helping to improve lives in India by sharing essential knowledge of how to turn waste into clean energy.
* To help empower disadvantaged women connected with the Russ Foundation in South India, Dr Blanchard built a simple prototype wooden press in order to make biomass briquettes. Matthew then enlisted the help of students Sahil Jhamb and Dominic Cowell, from the School of Business and Economics, to devise a briquette formula made from paper, sawdust and ash – materials which are easily accessible in India and often go to waste.
* This has all been made possible thanks to MyIndia – a social enterprise project which aims to tackle fuel poverty in the country. It is led by students who make up Enactus Loughborough – an entrepreneurial action group established to make a positive change in the world.
* “This project demonstrates the power of collaboration and I hope it inspires other student engineers to take up opportunities outside their degree and get involved with projects such as MyIndia. This is also a great example of students and lecturers working together to share simple engineering knowledge overseas.
