Recent technological advancements have revolutionized the biomass sector in India, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable energy production. Innovations in biomass gasification and pyrolysis technologies have significantly enhanced the conversion efficiency of agricultural residues and biomass feedstocks into electricity and biofuels.
Dr. Rajesh Sharma, a leading researcher at the National Institute of Renewable Energy (NIRE), highlighted the development of advanced gasification reactors capable of processing diverse biomass types, including rice husks, sugarcane bagasse, and municipal solid waste. These advancements not only increase energy yields but also reduce operational costs and environmental impacts associated with traditional biomass combustion.
The adoption of smart grid technologies and decentralized biomass power plants in rural areas is further driving the uptake of renewable energy solutions across India, supporting sustainable development goals and energy security objectives.
