Benefits of Paddy‐Straw as a Bio‐Fuel

State‐Wise Production of Paddy in India

• After China, India is the world's largest

producer of paddy making paddy straw the most widely available bio‐fuel Surplus • India now produces 98 MMT of paddy p p p y Availability with roughly 130 MMT of straw of which

• nly about half is used for fodder
• A typical 12 MW plant requires only

120,000 MT of paddy straw per year With high silica content, surplus paddy straw has no commercial use and is almost entirely burned – thus its use in power plants would provide additional income for farmers Potential Benefits to Farmers

High

A plant operating on paddy‐straw can operate T echnology on virtually any type of bio‐fuel thus Advantage mitigating risks due to shortage of paddy straw

g Medium

Cost Effective Paddy straw is ~45% cheaper than rice husk

The Challenge

• No established process for sourcing this fuel as direct

No established process for sourcing this fuel as direct sourcing from fields / farmers is required

• Using it as a fuel presents several technological challenges

A player with an efficient sourcing mechanism and the requisite technology in place A player with an efficient sourcing mechanism and the requisite technology in place would be well positioned to tap into the huge potential of paddy‐straw as a bio‐fuel

Why produce energy from paddy straw?

 Energy demand is increasing!  Straw is available in plenty, 70‐80% is wasted in India  Straw as a new income source for rice farmers!  Straw as a new income source for rice farmers!  Burning of rice straw in the open filed is major challenge in India leading to pollution and various chest and respiratory diseases. g p p y  Smoke from burning of paddy straw causes smog in nearby cities such as Amritsar, Delhi etc. and lead to accidents.  As per latest notification from NGT dated 10th Dec., 2015, the burning of paddy straw in the States of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh Delhi and Rajasthan has been banned Pradesh, Delhi and Rajasthan has been banned.  Alternate usage is limited.  Huge potential in power generation uge pote t a po e ge e at o

How does Paddy Straw differs from Rice husk & Bagasse

Significant differences in terms of:  Paddy straw is in abundance and it has little alternate usage compared to rice husk and bagasse.  Paddy straw is not a processed fuel unlike Husk and Bagasse  Paddy straw requires bailing, handling and de‐bailing, fuel Processing for combustion.  Collection of Paddy straw requires a number of capital  Collection of Paddy straw requires a number of capital equipment, i.e.; Cutter, Bailer, Tractor and Trolley and man power in short harvesting period of 30‐ 40 days.

Problems with Biomass Power Plants in India Problems with Biomass Power Plants in India

 Technology issues related to combustion of agri‐residues,  Inadequate Tariff structure.  Fuel Linkages‐ Due to competitive uses and middlemen, high biomass landed cost at factory gate leading to unviable plant operations.  Fuel Processing for specific range of fuel requirements.  C ll ti i d f Bi b i li it d h ll f  Collection period of Biomass being very limited, poses challenges of Aggregation, Storage, Preservation, Transportation.  Require high CAPEX towards fuel collection and processing equipments to maintain uninterrupted supplies throughout the year.

10 MW Jalkheri Paddy Straw based Power Plant

• The Jalkheri biomass power plant was conceived and executed by Punjab State

Electricity Board with the help of state government in the year 1995.

• It is a unique biomass power project which uses paddy straw as the feed stock.

The plant is situated on a land bank of about 20 acres.

• The plant could not run to its full potential, before it was shut down completely.

The plant could not run to its full potential due to varied reasons. p p

• The PSEB made several attempts to run the plant themselves or through outside

agencies without much success agencies without much success.

• Bermaco Energy Limited was entrusted with the task of running the plant in the

year 2000. We operated the plant for a period of 5 years. Thereafter the arrangement could not continue again due to several reasons.

Advantages of Biomass Fuel Over Coal

33

Benefit of Biomass Over Coal

• Biomass power is carbon neutral and renewable technology which

p gy

• ffsets CO2 emissions while coal based power generation directly

leads to CO2 and SOX emissions on account of higher sulphur content in coal in coal.

• Burning of biomass in fields leads to local pollution which results in

various respiratory and chest diseases. Utilization of biomass for various respiratory and chest diseases. Utilization of biomass for power generation eliminates pollution on account of field burning.

• Utilization of biomass for power generation directly reduces the

dependence on imported coal and oil for power generation which also saves valuable foreign exchange reserves of the country.

• Biomass fuel (agri residues such as paddy straw cane trash corn cob
• Biomass fuel (agri‐residues such as paddy straw, cane trash, corn cob

etc.) is still much cheaper than coal on per unit heat basis.

Socio Economic Impact on Rural Development

PRESPL’s activities have created a huge positive impact on lives of people in the areas of operation. Job Creation Biomass Supply Chain is possibly the most labour intensive energy source. Biomass supply chain development will bring about significant job creation in unskilled and semi‐skilled labour in India depending on the scale of production PRESPL i idi dditi l f t f th h l f th Skills Development PRESPL provides training to rural youth and women to acquire necessary skills in biomass aggregation, processing supply from farms to the industry, thus helping them to earn their livelihood. Additional Source of Revenue PRESPL is providing additional source of revenue to farmers through sale of the feedstock which otherwise used to be burnt. Currently ~20,000 households are benefitting from this revenue source and getting a better standard of living. Use of biomass is more environment friendly since it is carbon neutral. Added Environmental Benefits environmental benefits of not burning the feedstock waste but using it to extract
