details from landowners, but also by field measurement. Estimation of biomass
availability was made for both the Rabi & the Khariff seasons using secondary data,
where in important details like residue generation and area of cultivation for each crop
are available. The data gives the average yield expected per hectare for the representative

6.5 BIOMASS POWER PLANT FUEL MIX The biomass power plants located in the Rajasthan state are using the biomass
residues in the form of mixture. The biomass fuel mix includes mustard stalks &
husk, guar stalks, prosopis juliflora wood, cotton stalks and other agro residues. As
discussed in the previous section, it is clear that the mustard stalks & husk are
consumed in huge quantity. There are totally 10 biomass power plant in Rajasthan
and the fuel mix of the below listed power plants are discussed in this section.
1. Satyam Green Power Private Limited
2. Transtech Green Power Private Limited
3. S M Environmental Technologies Private Limited
4. Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd, Ganganagar
5. Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd, Tonk
6. Sanjog Sugars & Eco Power Private Limited
7. Orient Green Power Company (Rajasthan) Private Limited. Kishanganj
8. Suryaa Chamball Power Limited
9. Sambhav Energy Limited
10. Amrit Environmental Technologies
Out of the ten power plants, two power plants namely Sambhav Energy Limited and
Amrit Environmental Technologies are not in operation for the last two years because
of drastic increase in fuel price. The reason for the increase in the fuel price is due to
the increase in the number of biomass consuming industries nearby the power plant
location. Since the year 2012 both of these power plants are not able to compete the
market by procuring the biomass fuel at higher price and that resulted in the
permanent shutdown of these power plants. As the biomass price study requires a
minimum of three-year historical data, both these power plants are not considered for
the analysis due to the unavailability of fuel procurement data.
The summary of fuel consumption pattern in last three years for the biomass power
plants in operation in Rajasthan is given below.
Biomass Fuel Supply Study
54 Abi Energy Consultancy Services Pvt Ltd Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd
The total quantity of individual biomass in the biomass fuel mix of the power plants for
the year 2012 is presented in the above table. Based on a close view on the values of
individual biomass fuel quantity consumed, it can be observed that the total quantity of
mustard stalks & husk is at the higher range and that resulted in higher percentage of
77.30%. The biomass fuel mix also includes 13.40% of Agro waste, 7.05% of Prosopis
Juliflora wood and 2.25%. of Cotton Stalks.

6.67% while comparing with the last year. However, the contribution of juliflora
wood and agro waste in the fuel mix has got reduced drastically comparing with the
last year. The Juliflora wood has contributed 0.18% that is 6.87% lower than previous
year and the agro residue has contributed 7.06% that is 6.34% lower than the previous
year. Therefore, based on the observation it is quite clear that the Mustard Stalks &
Husk has scored the higher percentage of 84.25% among the fuel mix and that is
6.95% higher than previous year.

For the year 2014, it can be noted that the contribution of mustard stalks & husk is
reduced in a small margin. The contribution of Guar stalks is increased to 8.89%. The
Juliflora wood has contributed 2.67% and the agro residue has contributed 4.65%.
Biomass Fuel Supply Study
56 Abi Energy Consultancy Services Pvt Ltd Rajasthan Renewable Energy Corporation Ltd
Based on the last three years data of Power Plant Fuel Mix, it can be concluded that
the Mustard Stalks & Husk acts as the most predominant and stable fuel for all the
power plants.

BIOMASS STACKING & FEEDING COST.
7.0 INTRODUCTION:
Once biomass received in the power plant gate, the following activities required to further
feeding it in to Boiler.
Stacking & Covering Cost
Feeding Cost
7.1 STACKING& COVERING COST:
The major biomass available for biomass power plant in Rajasthan is mustard stalks &
husk, which is available between February to May. So the biomass power plants are purchase
and stoking biomass at storage yard with in the power plant or nearby by collection centers. The
primary purpose for the stacking will be to retain the biomass in good condition in a convenient
place for it to be transferred to the next stage of processing or feeding. Stacking, Covering,
Transportation and Feeding are some of the important operations to be carried out before the fuel
use. Depending on the size of operation and relative cost of labour and capital, varying degree of
automation could be adopted for each of the above operations.
LDPE Plastic Sheets are used to cover the biomass residues from rain and other climate
factors. This means protecting it from direct ingress of rain, but also from groundwater. From
stock yard to feeding site, biomass are transfer by small trucks. The following table 7.1 shows
the Stacking Cost, Covering Cost & Feeding Cost of various power plants.

The average Stacking & Covering and Feeding Cost of Biomass is around Rs 187 per tons.
7.2 BIOMASS STORAGE LOSSESS
Three types of losses considered during the storage of biomass in the biomass yard.
1 Land Settlement :
Biomass at bottom of heap gets mixed with sand and cannot be used in boiler.
However, with leveling of ground and proper drainage system, land settlement loss
can be reduced to about 0.4 %
2 Loss of Fuel during Sand Storm:
This loss can be completely eliminated by covering the biomass with tarpaulin.
3 GCV Loss due to decaying of biomass
Decaying loss can be reduced to about 1.5% by covering the biomass with tarpaulin
and proper drainage
Total Storage loss of biomass is around 2 %

BIOMASS POWER PLANTS IN RAJASTHAN
9.0 INTRODUCTION
The Rajasthan state consists of 33 districts and the average cultivated area of Rajasthan state for
the past three years is coming around 225,44,455 Ha. The residues of Mustard, Guar, Cotton and
Prosopis Juliflora are considered by the biomass power plants as the main fuel for power
generation. The biomass power plants are managing their fuel requirement by mixing the
available crop residues like mustard stalks & husk, guar stalks, cotton stalks, other agro residues
and waste land biomass like Prosopis Juliflora wood. The generation of the mustard stalks &
husk, guar stalks, cotton stalks are quite stable and predictable. There are totally 10 biomass
power plant in Rajasthan and the fuel procurement and consumption of the below listed power
plants are discussed in this section,
1. Satyam Green Power Private Limited
2. Transtech Green Power Private Limited
3. S M Environmental Technologies Private Limited
4. Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd-Ganganagar
5. Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd-Tonk
6. Sanjog Sugars & Eco Power Private Limited
7. Orient Green Power Company (Rajasthan) Private Limited. Kishanganj
8. Suryaa Chamball Power Limited
9. Sambhav Energy Limited
10. Amrit Environmental Technologies.
Out of the ten power plants, two power plants namely Sambhav Energy Limited and Amrit
Environmental Technologies are not in operation for the last two years because of drastic
increase in fuel price. The reason for the increase in the fuel price is due to the increase in the
number of consuming industries nearby the power plant location. Since 2012 both these power
plants are not able to compete the market by procuring the biomass fuel at higher price and that
resulted in the permanent shutdown of these power plants. As the biomass price study requires

a minimum of last three-year historical data, both these power plants are not considered for this
study due to the unavailability of fuel procurement data.
9.1 SATYAM GREEN POWER PRIVATE LIMITED, NAGAUR DISTRICT.
