Department of Energy,Tezpur University,India
Rural power scenario in India
Every tenth village…..no electricity
Fluctuating voltage, power shortage …….day to day phenomena
Dependency on Kerosene
Poor quality light, health problems
Biomass: potential rural energy source
heat, electricity and fuels
Renewable, carbon neutral
35% primary energy in developing countries
Agricultural
Forest productsMunicipal organic waste
Animal manure
Aquatic plants
Rice straw
Wood chip
India generates 139 million tonnes surplus biomass annually
Biomass power potential 22000 MW
Installed 2300 MW
Biomass power in India
RSGIS in Bioenergy
Spatial and temporal mapping of biomass
Collection, storage, transportation planning
Biomass power planning upto micro level
Biomass power plant at Napaam village, Assam
Rice straw as feedstock for power generation
Assess rice cropland using GIS and LISS IV image
Estimate surplus rice straw
Estimate energy potential of surplus rice straw
