1. Low cost Power Generation:
[1 lts Diesel Can be saved from 4-5 Kg of Biomass]
2. Avoidence of Green House Gas Emmission:
The Gasification of Biomass Recycles the CO2 Produced through gasification is ready Consumed in the Biomass Production itself and hence the Biomass recycles the CO2 from the atmosphere. Gasification of agro waste rather than land Filling avoids potential methane emission.
3. Reduced Acid Rain:
Biomass has no sulphur content and thus can offset emission of So2, A key contributor to Acid Rain.
4. Waste Management Benefits:
Gasification of Biomass (Agro waste) reduces the volume of Biomass send for land filling & extending life of exiting land fills. The char produced can be briquitted with cow Dung or as it is to be used as smokeless fuel for cooking by villagers.
5. Increased local Job & Income:
Gasification of Biomass requires Biomass, that has to be managed, Plant operation has to be managed & thereby increase local job & income.
6. Sustainable development:
As a renewable fuel, Biomass Contributes to sustainable development goal, less dependency on imported fossil fuels, development diversifications and increased rural employment opportunity.
7. Carbon Trading Benefits (CDM):
Use of renewable source of Energy are Environment friendly, as it does not generate green house gases unlike the fossil fuel on the contrary Biomass based thermal system and/or power plant helps reduction in CO2 emission indirectly, as a result the promoter of such a unit is entiled to get monetary benefits on carbon Trading under the clean Development mechanism (CDM). This project helps keep the environment clean.
8. Subsidy & incentives from the Government:
*Installation of gasifier attracts capital subsidy from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
*Credit Linked Capital Subsidy for technology Upgradation
*Income tax benifit-80% depriciation in the very first year.
*CDM benifits.
