Biomass gasification utilizes renewable feed stocks for liberating the synthesis gas by thermal decomposition under high temperature conditions. Among the factors affecting the production protocol, cost economics play a critical role and is well pronounced in cases when the scale of operation is magnified. Entrepreneurs of gasification technology often make...

Indian VCs have not really done a good amount of investing in cleantech. Cleantech perhaps  is not really a VC game as it is more of an engineering related discplie that does not offer the types of scalabilitiees that VCs desire or the exit periods. VCs also do not understand...

The trading of Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) s in India started successfully on 30th March 2011. A detailed review of the first trading day is available at http://bit.ly/fg7Dtu . REC trading is scheduled to take place on the final Wednesday of every month. The REC trading for the month of...

Biomass for power generation by combustion or gasification is normally variable in its chemical composition of electron rich reactants, ash content, moisture, sulphur and nitrogen content etc. As a result, selection of the most convenient feedstock is an issue of debate. The degree and diversity of contaminants strongly influence the...

India has initiated its power generation from renewable sources by several different principles namely gasification and combustion. Biomass gasification is carried out at different power capacity levels ranging from 25 kW to 2 MW and above. When a comparative analysis is made between combustion and gasification of biomass, the former...

There are a whole lot of benefits from biomass gasification, both economy wise and ecology wise. Speaking of environmental benefits, gasification plants produce significantly lower quantities of air pollutants, which is really a good thing.  The process can also reduce the environmental impact of waste disposal because it can use...

Agricultural residues never go to waste. Not when they can be used for generating energy. In this context, the government of Punjab, India, plans to produce about 1,000 MW of green energy from livestock residues by 2015. When you think about it, this has huge economical and environmental benefits. In...

Click here to read Part I of the article. Solar Sector Solar was the most talked about sector in 2010 and there was a rush from different entities to enter this sector and profit from its growth. This was very evident when the NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) issued request-for-selection...

The year 2010 turned out to be a watershed year in the history of the renewable energy sector in India. With the launch of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) in early 2010, the country took a big step towards harnessing the immense potential of Solar energy in the...

Large industrial facilities have set up captive power generation to mitigate the effect of frequent shortages of electricity from the national grid. 70% of electricity generated under captive power in the case of wind power was set up by large industrial facilities. It’s worthwhile to look at cement industry, which...
