Here are Some Key
Points about Bioenergy
in India:
Bioenergy Overview
India has abundant biomass and other
waste resources, making energy recovery
from these sources a viable solution.
Modern bioenergy not only provides
clean fuels but also offers social and
environmental benefits.
Benefits include mitigating air, water,
and land pollution, creating local jobs,
reducing energy import bills, and
developing decentralized communities.
The MNRE has launched the National
Bioenergy Programme for the period
from April 2021 to March 2026 with an
outlay of Rs. 858 crore under Phase-I.
The program includes sub-schemes
such as:
- Waste to Energy Programme: Supporting
energy recovery from urban,
industrial, agricultural wastes, and
municipal solid waste.
- Biomass Programme: Promoting
briquettes, pellets, and non-bagasse-
based cogeneration in industries.
-Biogas Programme: Encouraging
biogas production and utilization.
