POTENTIAL OF BIOMASS BASED ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN INDIA: A CASE STUDY
POTENTIAL OF BIOMASS BASED ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN INDIA: A CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: The use of biomass residue for power generation can on one hand be used as a very cheap source of energy where on the other hand help reduce the impact of energy production on environment to a great extent. The study thus tries to analyze the potential of Biomass residue based power generation in India. Firstly, it compares the economic feasibility of different technologies of biomass residue based power generation. The results show that carbon pricing is an important factor in making these technologies more suitable. Secondly, it uses a simple model to predict the future potential of power generation based on this raw material and potential reach up to 62.093 MegaWatt by 2030 and finally, it conducts a GIS analysis that was done to find some suitable locations where rice and wheat residue-based electricity can be launched as pilot project.
