Biomass gassfier presentation
Biomass can be converted into a gaseous fuel through gasification which can then be used to generate electricity. This is more cost effective than diesel generation and reduces carbon dioxide emissions since biomass absorbs the same amount of CO2 that it emits when burned. Biomass gasification systems convert solid biomass into a combustible gas mixture through a thermo-chemical process to fuel engines or generators. This provides a renewable source of power that saves on diesel costs while being more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels.

One main advantage of biogas is the waste reduction potential. Biogas production by anaerobic digestion is popular for treating biodegradable waste because valuable fuel can be produced while destroying disease-causing pathogens and reducing the volume of disposed waste products.
Biogas burns more cleanly than coal, and emits less carbon dioxide per unit of energy. The carbon in biogas was recently extracted from the atmosphere by photosynthetic plants. Releasing it back into the atmosphere adds less total atmospheric carbon than burning fossil fuels.
Thus, biogas production kills two birds with one stone: it reduces waste and produces energy. In addition, the residues from the digestation process can be used as high quality fertilizer. This closes the nutrient cycle.

This paper studies the performance of cogeneration programmes using rice husk gasifiers in rice mills in West Bengal, India from 2005-2009. 76 rice mills installed rice husk gasifiers ranging from 40-350kW. However, all dismantled the gasifiers and switched to grid electricity. The study found the programme failed due to economic reasons rather than technical problems. Operating the gasifiers cost Rs. 141-300/tonne of paddy processed while grid electricity cost Rs. 79-117/tonne. Selling surplus rice husk also provided more revenue than using it in gasifiers.

Solar Power as a Remunerative Crop (SPaRC)_Tushaar Shah,IWMI_ICIMOD-WLE Sprin...
This document discusses solar power as a remunerative crop (SPaRC) in India and two approaches to incentivizing solar generation. It argues that farmers have a comparative advantage in solar generation due to land ownership and proposes that solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) be the core of India's national solar mission. Under an IWMI proposal, SIPs would be grid-connected and farmers paid a subsidy plus guaranteed price for excess power sold to the grid. This could generate solar jobs, reduce carbon emissions, and accelerate agricultural growth while conserving water. However, key barriers to SPaRC uptake include unfamiliarity, coordination costs for solar companies, and opposition from power distribution companies.
