Biomass Gasification and

Distributed Power Generation
for

Sustainable Economic Development
of
Rural India and Africa
The Proposed Focus
Gasification is being recognized as an attractive
technology for Decentralized, Distributed Generation
(DDG).
Large scale implementation of Distributed Power
Generation Systems of 500 kWe to 2 Mwe.
Preferably connected to tail ends of the rural, 11 KV
grids.
Small Power Packs available from 10-kWe onwards for
individual Village Electrification.
The Biomass Arguement
(Logistics & Management)
A distributed resource like biomass is best used in distributed
manner.
Large capacity plants need to cover larger areas for
feedstock.
Are more vulnerable on account of availability and price hikes.
Much smaller radius for biomass collection & transport
minimal use of diesel for biomass transport.
Much smaller water and space requirements as compared to
other technologies.
The Rural Power Quality Arguement
11 KV grids become net producers of electricity.
This will eliminate load shedding in rural areas,
assuring round-the-clock power supply.
Power stability and quality will become comparable
to urban / industrial areas.
[A real dream come true!]
The T&D Losses Arguement
E&Y study on behalf of MNRE.
A minimum reduction of close to a million units of
losses per MW of installed capacity.
This direct benefit itself is equivalent to about 70 paise
(0.1 USD) per kWhr.
The Rural Socio-Economic Arguements
Wealth from Waste.
Large-Scale Employment Generation.
More Equitable distribution of incomes &
employment.
Great boost to Rural Entrepreneurship.
Positive Impact on migration to urban areas.
Benefits
Green electricity.
Use the systems to also generate steam,
chilling, hot water, hot air.
High PLFs about 80%.
Quick and modular solutions with no
pollution.
Generate high energy, high value charcoal &
biochar as by-product.
The Technology
Basic Process Chemistry
Conversion of solid fuels into combustible gas
mixture called producer gas (CO + H
2
+ CH
4
)
Involves partial combustion of biomass
Four distinct process in the gasifier viz.
Drying
Pyrolysis
Combustion
Reduction

Environmental Aspects
Package
Water
Used in re-circulation mode with
zero discharge. Occasional ph
adjustment and simple treatment
may be needed.
Gasifier does not release gas to
the atmosphere.
Combustion in user equipments
(connected to gasifier) is much
cleaner compared to liquid fuels.
Air
Environmental Aspects(contd.)
Package
Solid
Waste
Charcoal can be sold as fuel.
Biological ash can be returned to
the soil.
In case of major user equipment
i.e. genset, noise level is lower
than with 100% liquid fuels.
Noise
Biomass materials contain negligible Sulphur
Schematic of MWe level Power Plant
1.2 MWe, Grid connected Power Plant using Agri-Residues as Biomass
1.2 MWe, Grid connected Power Plant using Agri-Residues as Biomass
Some details on the Project (First 3-4 months under stabilization):
Biomass used Cotton / Tur (Pigeon Peas) / Castor Stalks, Corn cobs,
Waste firewood.
Fuel consumption initially around 1.6 kgs (due to high moisture/monsoon
exposure) and now around 1.2 0.1 kgs / kW-hr.
Hours of operations As per customer demand, can operate for 24 hours
/ day. Till date generated more than 1.1 million units.
Power being sold to a Private Industry using the State Utility Grid.
Auxiliary Power Consumption Around 12%.
Grid Synchronization - Except for initial challenges like local formalities,
documentation and open access, by & large no major issues faced.
Cost benefits Payback period anticipated around 4-5 years with IRR of
about 20-22%.
500-kWe Power Plant being commissioned in California
700-kWe Power Plant using rice husk in a Rice Mill in Cambodia
Rice husk based 350 kWe, Dual Fuel Power Plant in West Bengal, India
