SCOPE OF STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the possibility to setting-up biomass power project with keeping due consideration towards

availability of surplus biomass and its consumption for various activities. To ensure availability of sufficient feed material (biomass) in taluka that will cater the need of commissioned, up-coming biomass power project and assessing the possibility to set-up additional biomass power projects. Development of biomass fuel linkage for commissioned, up-coming and likely to proposed biomass power projects.

TERMS OF REFERENCE:
1. 2. Identification of biomass being generated in the taluka with sectorial distribution along with seasonal variations in procurement of surplus biomass.

Quantitative assessment / estimation of the various types of biomass available in the collection area. Details about consumption of biomass in different activities viz. fuel for cooking in domestic activity, green fertilizer and fodder for agricultural and cattle feed respectively, fuel for cottage industry, co-generation and independent biomass power projects using agro-waste as supplementary / primary fuel from given collection area. (information about collection area will be provided by MEDA). 5. 6. 7. Assessing biomass collection mechanism for energy generation from available biomass in given talukas. Assessing possibility of utilizing waste land for dedicated plantation to support biomass power project activity in given talukas. Assessing the possibilities of setting up additional biomass power project in the given talukas, considering the commissioned, up-coming biomass power project and assessing the possibility to set-up additional biomass power projects.
