Abstract

This chapter on utilization of bio-resources for various energy applications is presented with an emphasis on (i) biomass for power generation, and (ii) usage of biogas for heating application. Besides, the overall dialogue put forward is aimed at the Indian circumstances primarily involving industrial applications. Biomass co-firing is gradually becoming common and is already being put to use in several small-to-medium scale plants for power generation. Here, direct co-firing of biomass has been discussed which supposedly offers a superior substantiation with industry users. Further, biogas production has been explained and a sample calculation representing the emission abatement in terms of socio-environmental aspect of using biogas in boiler over coal is described. In addition, the significance of bio-resources in industrial sectors ...
