3. Biomass vs. Oil & Other resources Parameters Oil&Other Resources Biomass Availability Very limited & depleting In abundance Location Geographical constraints Can be cultivated anywhere Cost of fuel Very high, beyond out control Very low, within our control Capital cost High Normal By Product Many Wood charcoal activated carbon Environmental Unsafe Safe Plant sizing Large in few 100MWe From 10KWe to few Mwe Mode of plant Centralized Decentralized Plant load factor High High
4. Biomass is a renewable energy in which the process can generate CO 2 and recover CO 2 to use again. But Fuel resource have diminishing and emitting CO 2 to atmosphere increasing.
5. - Economical Benefits - Reduced dependence on depleting fossil fuels - Pollution free & Environment friendly source of energy - Encourage energy plantation thus resulting in a green environment - Increased national energy security using locally available fuels - Provides a sustainable, affordable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuel
