Rural power scenario in India
Every tenth village…..no electricity
Fluctuating voltage, power shortage …….day to
day phenomena
Dependency on Kerosene
Poor quality light, health problems
Biomass: potential rural energy source
Agricultural
Rice straw
Forest products
Municipal organic waste
Animal manure
Aquatic plants
Wood chip
Renewable, carbon neutral
35% primary energy in developing countries
heat, electricity and fuels
Biomass power in India
India generates 139 million tonnes surplus biomass
annually
Biomass power potential 22000 MW
Installed 2300 MW
RSGIS in Bioenergy
Spatial and temporal mapping of biomass
Collection, storage, transportation planning
Biomass power planning upto micro level
Biomass power plant at Napaam village, Assam
Supply side
Rice straw as feedstock for power
generation
Assess rice cropland using GIS and
LISS IV image
Estimate surplus rice straw
Estimate energy potential of surplus rice straw
Demand side
household electricity demand survey
