In a significant move towards enhancing renewable energy sources, the Indian government has announced new incentives and policies aimed at boosting biomass power generation across the country. As part of the initiatives under the National Biomass Mission (NBM), several key measures have been introduced to promote the use of agricultural residues and organic waste for energy production. These include subsidies for biomass power plants, streamlined regulatory processes, and financial support for research and development in biomass technologies.
Minister of Environment and Renewable Energy, Dr. Ananya Singh, highlighted the importance of biomass in India’s energy mix, emphasizing its role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting rural livelihoods through sustainable energy practices. The government aims to increase biomass power capacity by 30% over the next five years, positioning India as a leader in renewable energy adoption on the global stage.
