Biomass power as alternative energy source

摘要

Biomass power producers in India are in a quandary with input costs, operations and maintenance costs increasing and tariff structure remaining virtually stagnant, thereby making many projects across the country financially unviable. Nearly half of the installed capacity of around 1100 MW across several states are reported to be lying idle. The producers use wide range of agriculture waste such as rice and coconut husk and forest waste as feedstock and the prices of these are firming up.
