class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian government is taking initiative to help use biomass pellets in thermal power plants. The changed biomass policy makes it a must for these plants to do 5% co-firing with biomass from financial year 2024-25, and then this will increase to 7% starting from the next year, which is 2025-26. This policy change shows India&#8217;s commitment towards reducing air pollution and moving towards greener energy methods. The Indian government has shown clear interest in supporting the use of biomass pellets, particularly for thermal power plants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised biomass policy indicates that there will be an obligatory requirement for all these types of facilities to incorporate a minimum amount of co-firing with biomass: this starts at 5%. In the fiscal year beginning on April 1st, 2024 and increases by two percentage points every new fiscal year until it reaches seven percent from April first two thousand twenty five onwards (2025-26). Such highlighted changes point out not only India\u2019s dedication towards lessening air contamination but also its goal for more sustainable sources of energy. The government has also introduced several initiatives to support the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/niir.org\/blog\/the-cost-of-biomass-pellets-from-bio-waste-manufacturing-business\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">biomass pellet industry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Financial_Aid_Programs\"><\/span><b>Financial Aid Programs<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For starting biomass pellet manufacturing units, there is financial help available from the Ministry of New &amp; Renewable Energy (MNRE) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Priority_Sector_Lending\"><\/span><b>Priority Sector Lending<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has added biomass pellet manufacturing to the list of activities included in Priority Sector Lending. This change will provide more convenience for businesses attempting to secure loans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Government_e-Marketplace_GeM_Portal\"><\/span><b>Government e-Marketplace (GeM) Portal<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A procurement facility solely for biomass pellets has been organized on the GeM portal. This allows simpler buying and control of supply chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Environmental_Benefits\"><\/span><b>Environmental Benefits<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biomass pellets, derived from agricultural and forestry waste like straw, saw dust or leaves, are a recurring source of energy. Since they come from plants that can be grown again, these materials are considered abundant and renewable resources. They also help to lessen the emission of greenhouse gases because when we burn biomass pellets for fuel purposes there is much less CO2 released into the atmosphere compared with coal emissions which are quite high in comparison. Also, biomass pellets do not emit harmful pollutants such as sulfur oxides, which makes them cleaner for producing energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Economic_Viability\"><\/span><b>Economic Viability<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The market for biomass pellets is growing fast, pushed by a rising need for renewable energy. Predictions say that the size of global biomass pellets market will reach from $9.5 billion in 2023 to $16.0 billion by 2033 with compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. In India, there&#8217;s lots of agricultural waste and government support which makes making biomass pellets a good business chance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manufacturing_Process\"><\/span><b>Manufacturing Process<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The making of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blog-description\/13896\/biomass+pellets:+project+report+on+biomass+pellets,+biomass+fuel,+biomass+pelletization\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">biomass pellets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has various stages. This includes screening, drying, separation, molding and granulation, cooling and finally packaging. The process starts by screening the raw materials to take out any dirt or impurities. Next is drying stage where we lessen moisture content in these items. The dried things are then separated to get rid of any left moisture before being pressed into pellets using a pellet press machine (Lappi et al., 2016).
