Biomass Gasifier Programme

Policy Objectives -

  • To encourage the deployment of biomass energy systems in industry for meeting thermal and electrical energy requirement
  • To conserve the use of fossil fuels for captive requirements in industry
  • To bring about reduction in greenhouse gas emission in industry

Biomass Gasifier based Distributed / Off-grid power programme for Rural Areas -

  1. Biomass gasifier based distributed/ off grid power systems in rural areas limited to 250 kW installed capacity, which have surplus biomass resources and unmet demand of electricity for inter alia lighting, water pumping and micro-enterprises including telecom towers etc. will be supported.
  2. Biomass Gasifier based Distributed/ Off-grid power for rural areas for meeting unmet demand of electricity in electrified/ to be electrified villages in potential sites preferably village clusters having potential of biomass

Biomass gasifier based programme in Rice Mills -

  1. Biomass gasifier based captive power plants will be supported in rice mills for meeting their captive needs and surplus power fed into the grid/distributed in local areas.
