This document presents research on the feasibility of using biomass as a source of rural electrification in India. It discusses how rural India, comprising 70% of the population, has lacked infrastructure development and access to electricity. Electrification is seen as key to poverty alleviation, economic growth, and human development. The research will study various rural electrification schemes in India, analyze the viability of distributed generation systems using biomass, and conduct a feasibility study of a biomass-based power project. Biomass has potential as a renewable source but projects face weaknesses in terms of fuel availability and price fluctuations, while opportunities exist in government incentives for renewable energy.
