Agro Residue to Power

Session 1
Attracting investments in agro residue based pellet/torrefied
pellet manufacturing sector and enabling policies for financing,
affordable pricing and sustainability
 Issues

 Selection of Appropriate Technology (in Indian conditions)

 Business model
 Govt. support
 Capacity building
 Scope of Work

Aims at discussion on the above issues and find some solution /

thought provoking discussion
 Technology Selection

 Incineration  Biomethanation
 No segregation  Effective utilization of wet / organic waste
 Matured technology  High level of segregation
 Plant availability – O&M issues  High amount of residue / sludge.
 High Cost

 Composting  Gasification
 Effective utilization of organic waste  Suitable for Distributed application
 High level of segregation  Lower capacity
 High amount of residue  Medium level of segregation

Customization of Technology as per Indian conditions

 Business model

• Understanding of main objective

• Scientific Disposal of waste
• Power generation only a by-product.
• PPP model
• EPC model
• JV model
• SPV model
 Govt. support

• Available supports from Govt.

 Swachh Bharat Mission – Major thrust
 Mandatory purchase of power
 Exempted from Scheduling
 Awareness for source segregation

• Enforcement of Emission Norms

• Technology based Special power tariff / Cost Plus tariff
• Provision of Tipping / Gate fee
• Viability Gap funding
• Facilitate in getting approval (single window)
• Funding under Swachh Bharat Mission
• Promote indigenization of technology
 Capacity Building

• Creation of Database for Quantity / Quality of Waste

• Source segregation
• Recycling of Waste
• Separation of C & D waste
• Testing facility for emission (Dioxin & Furan)
• Manufacturing capacity in India
• Technology development
• R&D on WtE
 Scope of Work

•Waste collection & Transportation

•Plant O&M
•Landfill (SLF) Management
•EPC
Way forward ……………

 Discussion Thread
• Impact of awareness campaigns being run in other countries for reduction/
disposal/collection/ segregation of waste in an effective manner. How can
these measures be utilised in Indian scenario? (Mr.Ghiath Bilal)
• Experience of PSUs on supporting Swachh Bharat Mission in India? What
kind of support do these organizations expect from local government and
areas to be focussed? (Mr. Subodh Kumar ED IOCL)
• Kind of supports are being offered by Government entities in promoting
Swachh Bharat Mission and setting up of WtE plants, like single window
clearance, etc.? (Dr. Nitin Bansal)
• Technology options does an Indian technology provider consider suitable
for WtE especially in an Indian environment, where source segregation is
not being done? Gasification as an emerging technology views and
experience? (Dr. B C Jain)
• Based on experience of waste collection agencies, the important is the
role of door to door collection in a waste management. Ideal method to
ensure integrated way of waste disposal. (Mr. Aditya Handa)
 Discussion Thread
• How does a technology supplier from a developed country consider the
market position in Indian Waste to Energy sector & what sorts of support
are needed to leverage government effort? (Mr.Ghiath Bilal)
• Experience of operating Waste to Energy Company in India. Kind of
critical point needs to be addressed to ensure successful operation of
plant. (Mr. Sundeep kumar )
• Methods & types of wastes utilised in other countries and what are is the
impact on environment (Mr. V K Chaurasia)
• Effective pollution control measures for a Waste to Energy plant and its
enforcement. (Mr. V K Chaurasia)
• Whether Waste to energy plants are more feasible in centralised manner
or decentralised manner catering to small towns as well? (Dr. B C Jain)
