MUMBAI: Sunlight, biomass and wind will be harnessed to light homes in the island city.

Ropar: The biomass power plants, running in the state, are incurring losses due to lack of fuel, security and disparity in the power tariffs between different plants.

Punjab has two kinds of plants including independent power producing (IPP) plants and the co-generation plants. The IPP are given the rights to produce power only.

The Haryana government has formulated a plan for mass production of bio-fuels from all kinds of biomass and organic waste. A spokesman of the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency said by converting biomass, animal waste, hospital waste, hotel waste, industries waste into bio-fuels, the emission of extremely lethal methane gas into environment could be prevented.

Godrej Industries is planning to commercially generate power from palm oil biomass in the next 2-3 years, a move expected to give boost to green energy production in the country.

 This new report presents a unique perspective on energy access in developing countries. Presents the experiences of energy use and deprivation of people living in poverty & alongwith recommendations on policy, financing & capabilities towards creation of a vibrant energy access “ecosystem” of energy product and service providers, engaging public, private & civil society sectors.

This comparative analysis of two biomass - based decentralized renewable energy companies operating in Bihar, DESI Power and Husk Power Systems, provides insight into business strategy and technological suitability of biomass based decentralized energy generation plants for rural India and highlights critical elements that may be of high relevance for replicating similar solutions in other geographical locations.

This report presents an overview of the policies, programs, and practices undertaken in APEC economies and beyond to ensure that the liquid biofuels they produce and consume achieve desired sustainability . It concludes with recommendations to collaborate on systainable biofuels activities and promote all areas of sustainability.

In recent years, renewable energy has increasingly attracted public and policy attention particularly for its potential to contribute to
reductions in GHG emissions. Most interest has focused on the use of renewables in power generation and as biofuels.

Energy poverty is a frequently used term among energy specialists, but unfortunately the concept is rather loosely defined. Several existing approaches measure energy poverty by defining an energy poverty line as the minimum quantity of physical energy needed to perform such basic tasks as cooking and lighting. This
paper proposes an alternative measure that is based on
energy demand.
