Techno-Economic Assessment for Bio-energy in India :
The study reflects on various issues of bio-energy in India and identifies prioritized investment opportunities for technology development and its market adaptation under appropriate policies. The study found that among various bio energy options in India, biodiesel, bio ethanol and biomass gasification are found to be most relevant areas, where investments for technology and marketing development could be made. Wastelands could be used for growing oil seed plants for producing biodiesel, irrigated land for sugarcane based ethanol production and small plots in village location be used for producing fuel wood for gasification. Thus their land requirements are complementary, though they do compete with other uses.
