• Ensure national energy security and climate resilience.

🔶 Achievements:

• Over 1 million MT of biomass co-fired in NCR by 2024.
• CO₂ reduction of ~25.5 Lakh MT till FY 2024-25.
• Rated pellet production capacity doubled to 30,800 TPD (Pan India).
• 68 thermal power plants currently co-firing biomass.

🔶 Technological and Regulatory Tools:

• SOPs and model contracts for co-firing.
• 18 BIS-certified standards for pellet quality and testing.
• 22 NABL-accredited biomass testing labs.

🔶 Biomass Potential & Pellet Specs:

• 228 million tonnes of surplus agri-residue available.
• Non-torrefied pellets: GCV 2800–4000 kcal/kg; Torrefied: 3400–5000 kcal/kg.
• Mandatory quality specs: bulk density > 600 kg/m³, fines < 5%, moisture < 14%.

🔶 Stakeholder Benefits:

• Farmers: ₹9,000–13,000 Cr annual market potential.
• Pellet manufacturers: ₹28,000–30,000 Cr potential.
• TPPs: Reduced carbon footprint, low-cost retrofitting, compliance with CAQM & MoEFCC directives.

🔶 Support & Incentives:
