This document discusses renewable fuels and provides an overview of their use in India. It begins with an introduction to fossil fuels and renewable fuels such as wind, solar, biomass and biofuels. It then discusses the need for renewable fuels due to depletion of fossil fuels, increasing energy demand, and global warming. The document defines renewable fuels as those obtained from biomass and biodegradable substances like ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas. It describes the forms renewable fuels take and different methodologies for their production, from large-scale plants to decentralized and individual units. Advantages include replacing fossil fuels, energy independence, and reducing global warming by balancing the carbon cycle. Disadvantages include potential effects on biodiversity,

6. WHY.?.....NEED & PURPOSE
• Depletion of fossil fuel,
• Increase in demand of power resources,
• Cost to use non renewable & renewable energy
sources
fossil fuel
water,
sunlight,
wind,
• Global warming

7. Definition
• “fuel made from renewable resources”
• Fuel obtained from biomass / biodegradable
substances,
• “hydrocarbon that is produced from organic
matter(once living material)”
• Ex : Gobar gas,
biodiesel,
Ethanol, etc,
4/5/2014Footer Text 7

8. FORMS
1. Liquid
• Easy to transport
• Easy to store
• Easy to handle
2. Gas
4/5/2014Footer Text 8

9. There are number of methods
• In plant - large scale
Ex: Ethanol
• Decentralized plants - small scale
• Ex: Gobar gas
Individual Houses
Ex:Gobar gas
In laboratory
EX : Biodiesel 4/5/2014Footer Text 9

4/5/2014Footer Text 11

12. Decentralized units
4/5/2014Footer Text 12

13. EX:

14. Individual units
• Houses,
• Hostels
• Hotels
• Commercial

17. ADVANTAGES
a) Large cattle population in the countryside ensuring
steady source of supply of the raw material
required for running the gas plant.
(b) Helps in reducing the deforestation as it arrests for
cutting of trees for firewood.
(c) Helps in maintaining ecological balance.
(d) Helps in rural sanitation
(e) Lower capital cost and almost cost free
maintenance.

18. ADVANTAGES BIOFUELS
• Replacing fossil fuels,
• Energy independence,
• Increase in national wealth,
• Cheaper fuel for consumers
• More energy security & diversified sources
• Higher farm incomes & rural employment
• Faster GDP growth, Lower Imports & energy
prices
• Reducing global warming…… How ?

21. The Bio Fuel initiatives in 2009/2010
Baradu Bangara (Waste to Gold)
• Plantation in 6000 Ha.(24 lakh samplings) of
degraded forest land completed .
• 25,000 hectares of degraded land identified and
plantation in progress in 2014. 15 million seedling
being raised across the state.
• 100,000 hectares of degraded forest and other
government land (60million seedlings) will be brought
under cultivation of bio fuels by 2012.
•All plantation activities will be undertaken with total
involvement of Village forest committees, Tank user
groups and watershed committees with usufruct
rights defined.

22. Disadvantages
• Effect on Biodiversity
• Scarcity of food in poor countries
• Land use
• Regional suitability
