<strong>Biomass</strong> gasifier<br />

Electricity<br />

Description<br />

<strong>Biomass</strong> gasifiers capable of producing power from a few KW up to 1 MW<br />

capacity have been successfully developed indigenously.<br />

• Indigenously developed small biomass gasifiers have successfully<br />

undergone stringent testing abroad.<br />

• <strong>Biomass</strong> Gasifiers are now being exported not only to developing<br />

countries of Asia and Latin America, but also to Europe and USA.<br />

• A large number of installations for providing power to small-scale<br />

industries and for electrification of a village or group of villages have<br />

been undertaken.<br />

• The <strong>Biomass</strong> Gasifier Programme has been re-casted to bring<br />

about better quality and cost effectiveness.<br />

• The programmes on biomass briquetting and biomass production<br />

are being reviewed and a new programme on power production<br />

linked to energy plantations on waste lands is proposed to be<br />

developed.<br />
