Scheme Overview

Sponsoring Authority        :   Ministry of New and Renewable Energy

Policy Period                     :   2019-2020

 

Objectives :

  1. To promote setting up of projects for recovery of energy in the form of Biogas / Bio CNG /Enriched Biogas / Power
  1. From urban, industrial and agricultural wastes; and captive power and thermal use through gasification in industries.
  1. To promote Biomass Gasifier based power plants
  1. For producing electricity to meet the unmet demand of captive power and thermal needs of rice mills and other industries and villages for lighting, water pumping and micro-enterprises.
  1. To create conducive conditions and environment, with fiscal and financial regime, to develop, demonstrate and disseminate utilization of wastes and residues for recovery of energy.
