Bharatbook.com has this special report, which sources information of in the hindsight, renewable energy has been exploited as a remedy to such issues; but given the narrowing window to avoid the climate doom, the thrust on their application today is much more than ever before. India’s tryst with energy needs is thwarted by multiple challenges. The necessity of quality and incessant energy supply to support the burgeoning industrial base, the need of additional capacity for rising urban and rural demand and, the increasing vulnerability of energy security are gradually becoming diffi cult to address and more so, in the light of environmental concerns.Although renewable energy resources cannot provide an exhaustive solution to the energy crises, they can reduce the gravity to a large extent. And, the most promising among the renewable energy resources is the biomass, which doesn’t have the problem of inherent intermittency. With an agrarian economy, India has abundant biomass reserves which as per a decade old survey amounts up to 23,000MW. However, till date, only 2,500MW grid connected and 400MW off-grid capacity has been harnessed. Inter alia, the fuel availability has been the predominant factor in dismal bio-capacity gestation. The ‘not-so-high’ yield per hectare of biomass fuel along with the seasonality factor makes fuel a major apprehension for biomass plant developers. In addition, the low density of fuel renders the fuel transportation option economically unviable. Also, technology used in India is not the best practiced in the industry and, the policy and fi nancial environment is not very conducive for technology imports. The low-end benchmarks used by fi nancing institutions to grant loans for biomass plants further impedes the procurement of highly effi cient but equally costly machinery from outside India. This new Business Series Report from Infraline Energy serves as a complete guide to the biomass industry and includes intricate details on fuel resources, their price trends and competitive use; analyses central and state level policies; handholds a developer through the plant setting up procedure; highlights existing technology, evolving technology trends and the increasing role of Chinese players; assesses the economics behind biomass plants and identifi es avenues to enhance the revenue streams; forecasts the biomass capacity additions by 2015; discusses business profi les of key manufacturers and developers, and fi nally eventuates into identifi cation of lucrative investment pockets in India.
