Market Research Report - 2014

Renewable energy sources offer viable option to address the energy security
concerns of India. India has one of the highest potential for the effective use
of renewable energy from sources like small hydro, biomass, wind and solar.
There are continuous changes in technology, market conditions and regulatory
environment that have led to the emergence of new trends with in the renew-
able energy sector. National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) aims to
achieve 15% share for renewable power in the total energy mix by 2020.
Energy is the prime mover of all the development process. With the advent of
globalization, development process is finally ignited. India is now the eleventh
largest economy in the world, fourth in terms of purchasing power. It is poised
to make tremendous economic strides over next ten years, with significant
economic development already in planning stage. This development is going
to accelerate the demand of energy. With rapid rise in the price of fossil fuels
and the anticipated shortage, there is a need to develop some sustainable
resource. Renewable sources are perennial in nature and hence can be relied
upon for sustainable development. Fortunately, India is blessed with a variety
of Renewable Energy sources, the main ones being biomass, bio gas, solar,
wind, and small hydro power. Municipal and industrial wastes can also be use-
ful sources of energy, but are basically different forms of biomass.
Biomass is a natural product of solar energy. World wide, energy stored in the
form of biomass through photosynthesis is nearly 10 times the world’s annual
energy use . The growth and the economic utilization of biomass, for power
generation, as an alternative to fossil fuels has been on the rise and is being
considered seriously. Assessments indicate that even if a small percentage of
this vast potential were tapped, it would be possible to meet the total energy
requirements of the country for years to come.
The availability of biomass in India is estimated at about 540 million tons per
year covering residues from agriculture, forestry, and plantations. Principal
agricultural residues include rice husk, rice straw, bagasse, sugar cane tops
and leaves, trash, groundnut shells, cotton stalks, mustard stalks, etc. It has
been estimated that about 70- 75% of these wastes are used as fodder, as fuel
for domestic cooking and for other economic purposes leaving behind 120-
150 million tons of usable agricultural residues per year which could be made
available for power generation. By using these surplus agricultural residues,
more than 16,000 MW of grid quality power can be generated with presently
available technologies. In addition, about 5000 MW of power can be produced,
if all the 550 sugar mills in the country switch over to modern techniques of co-
generation. Thus, the country is considered to have a biomass power potential
of about 21,000 MW.
To tap this potential, MNRE has been implementing biomass energy/ co- gen-
eration program for the last 10 years. The program aims at optimum utilization
of biomass materials for power generation or for replacement of conventional
fuels through adoption of efficient and state-of-the-art conversion technolo-
gies. The technologies being promoted include combustion/ gasification/ co-
generation, using gas/ steam turbines, dual fuel engines/ gas engines, or a
combination thereof, either for generation of power alone, or for co generation,
for captive and/ or grid connected applications. The Program has two main
components- Biomass Power/ Co-generation and Biomass gasification.
Keeping the above points in mind iData Insights, a holistic and accentuate
marketing research firm is bringing out a market research report titled “Bio-
mass in India: Evaluating the potential for Power Production-2014”.
