Two things are evident: 1) the stubbles burn because they are DRY; a wet or damp stalk won’t catch fire, 2) they are “undesirable” in their native locations because they produce smoke, and smoke produces pollution.
But, but but … there ARE many applications in far away locations where fuel-to-burn is a “desirable” commodity. Like in brick kilns, and many more. Can we “shift” these unwanted stalks to those locations?
