By Anita Khuller Biogas is produced naturally through a process of anaerobic decomposition from waste/biomass sources such as agricultural residue, cattle dung, sugarcane press mud, municipal solid waste, sewage treatment plant waste and distillery spent […]
Anita Khuller The rising heap of waste is creating a public health hazard in the country. In this scenario, biogas has emerged as a promising solution. Anaerobic bacteria break down food waste, which is disposed […]
By Anita Khuller Due to the limited domestic production of petroleum products, India is compelled to import over 80 per cent of its fuel requirement. The country’s energy security cannot improve until alternative fuels are […]
By Dolly Khattar The year 2018 has proved to be an eventful one for the country’s renewable energy sector. India has moved up three spots to occupy the second position on the world renewable energy […]
Anukriti Despite the slow growth in the waste-to-energy (WtE) segment, there has been an overall increase in the grid-interactive as well as the off-grid WtE capacities in the country. In fact, the capacity addition (16 […]
By Khushboo Goyal The total installed capacity of bioenergy in India stood at 9.8 GW as of July 2018. Of this, biomass and cogeneration projects contribute 9.5 GW and waste-to-energy (WtE) contributes the rest. In […]
Delhi generates over 9,600 tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) per day and this continues to grow with the increasing population and the rise of consumerism in the city. Further, the waste is not segregated […]

In order to reduce the dependency on crude oil import and save its foreign exchange reserves, the government announced the Ethanol-Blending Programme (EBP) on September 4, 2002. Initially, the programme mandated the blending of 5 […]
By Khushboo Goyal Biogas is a mixture of different gases produced by the breakdown of agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste, or food waste, in the absence of oxygen. When this […]
Out of the 62 million tonnes of waste generated annually in the country, over 80 per cent is disposed at dumpsites in an unhygienic manner. With the growing urban population, environmental concerns and stressed resources, […]
In May 2018, the union cabinet approved a national policy on biofuels that seeks to not only help farmers dispose of their surplus stock in an economical manner, but also reduce India’s dependence on oil […]
With the deadline for the renewable energy capacity addition target drawing closer, the industry as well as the government need to ensure that the roadmap for planned capacity addition is followed and implemented in a […]
