BIOMASS ENERGY POTENTIAL, POWER GENERATION AND RELATED ISSUES: A REVIEW

  • *Ram Singh, Gursewak Singh Brar

Abstract

The energy demand is increasing day by day due to growth in the economy globally.
Accordingly, the power generation planners, policy makers, and the Governments etc. are required to
focus on the issue of increasing energy demand. It is felt that fossil fuels are limited and renewable
energy sources are abundant in nature. Therefore, the renewable energy sources should be promoted
to save the environment and human health. The various issues related to biomass potential and biomass
power generation are considered in the study. The bio-energy is one of the important sources of
renewable energy, therefore, various aspects have been taken into account while reviewing the
literature on the biomass based power generation. In this review, mainly Indian energy status, the
potential of bio energy, the open burning of crop residue, bad effects on environment and living things
due to crop residue burning, scope of setting up new biomass power plants, biomass processing,
collection, handling, storage and transportation issues and the willingness of farmers to sell their cropwaste etc. are the main aspects which has been reviewed thoroughly.
