Innovative Solution– Biofuel Plants in Rural India
3
Use of agricultural
waste as Bio-Fuel
Implementation
Strategy
Advantages over
alternatives
Rural India is one of the biggest producers of Agricultural waste in
the World
Bio-fuel is cheaper & has low carbon emission than coal
Demand for renewable energy is rising
Additional source of income for Rural India
One briquetting plant will cover 10 villages (~10 plants per tehsil)
Women entrepreneurs in Villages to collect agricultural waste
from farms and ensure delivery to the plant
Storage space in plants to ensure off-season production
Delivery of biomass briquettes to local industries
Agricultural waste is mostly burned away
No intermediate collector of waste and producer of briquettes –
Direct sale between villagers and industry
If implemented nationally, second biggest income generator in
rural India after Agriculture

Biofuel market and future prospects
India is one of the biggest CO2 emitters in the world
Global environment commitments has put a pressure to ensure reduction
in emissions and earn carbon credits
Industries which use biomass briquettes – Beverage, Pharmaceuticals
Biomass briquettes have higher calorific value than coal
Despite the huge demand for biomass fuel, Coal is still widely used

Agriculture waste is the most abundantly
available biomass
But lack of any organized supply limits its
usage
