PROJECTPROJECT OBJECTIVES (1)OBJECTIVES (1)
Global Objective:
To reduce GHG (Carbon dioxide) emission to atmosphere through the promotion of bioenergy in rural areas leading to sustainable development
3
PROJECTPROJECT OBJECTIVES (2)OBJECTIVES (2)
National: To enhance the share of renewable
energy in the total energy generated To develop decentralised bio-energy
technology for quality rural energy services
To remove barriers to large scale adoption and commercialization of bioenergy technology packages
Local: To provide reliable, timely and
qualitatively superior and affordable energy services to the village population to enhance income-earning opportunities

PROJECT COST RECOVERYPROJECT COST RECOVERY
• Gasifiers & Bio-gas plants•Full O & M Cost recovery•Recovery of capital costs – Phased
•Equity issues
• Plantations•Revolving Village Forest Fund•User Contribution for Watershed and Forestry Development .
20
GENDER ISSUESGENDER ISSUES • Reducing drudgery for village women
– Cooking ( fuel wood collection , smoke)– Drinking water , Children’s study,
Sanitation ,• Additional income from kitchen garden
and decentralized nurseries,• Improvement in nutrition• Fodder – extra income + nutrition from
milk• Empowerment
• Self-help groups, Additional income • 30 % representation in committees• Developing leadership
• Employment for women,
21
Equity IssuesEquity Issues
• Cooking gas for each house• Drinking Water tap for each house• Additional irrigation at half an acre per
household• Water right for all – including land less• Community plantation• Employment opportunities

Potential Risks & Mitigation …Potential Risks & Mitigation …SL
RISK FACTORS MITIGATION MEASURES
1 Non participation or non-sustainable participation of local community.
•Empowerment, community participation, - Sustainable Orgn- Coop or company (Professional mgt.)•Assured supply of BE and quality services .•Involvement of Entrepreneurs
2 Technology Barrier; -Technology not proven at high capacity – 100 KW.
•Dual mode as stand by.•Technical backup by CGPL
3 Govt. Policy.:- low participation -pricing / tariff structure-Excess power
•Phased cost recovery and •Involvement of power utility/govt•Package deal / service package to farmers. •Power purchase – feed to grid
4 Unforeseen - drought ;Grey Area
•Water Harvesting and recharging models being tried.

Potential Risks & Mitigation …Potential Risks & Mitigation …
SL
RISK FACTORS MITIGATION MEASURES
5 Low demand for lighting:-Project villages already electrified.
•High demand for irrigation , Farming package with high income cropping system approach.•Additional demand by existing borewells.
6 Institutional Barriers:-financial risk – cost effectiveness.
-Venture capital funding, -Fin. Institns would be promoted.-Promoting only pure gas engine
7 Lack of land availability for Bio mass production.Non-avaibility of biomassBiomass price risk
Out sourcing of Bio mass along with captive production , Commercial farm forestry based models, Energy forests,Briquetting of Agro. Bio mass.
8 Biogas risk - leaf litter
– Pilot testing
