4. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI Rationale of Project Farmers had a problem disposing of the agricultural waste left after harvesting. Biomass Briquettes is the best alternative fuel. Biomass Briquettes give much higher boiler efficiency. Government is encouraging this Industry. Our product helps in reducing the carbon content in the atmosphere and it will also helps in Carbon Trading. Biomass Briquette
5. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI The Indian government has announced plans to provide power to the entire population by 2012 Coal is the dominant commercial fuel. Objective Coal currently provides around 69% of India's electricity demand. Biomass Briquette
6. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI Environment friendly and alternate source of energy should be available to bridge the gap. By the use of Biomass Briquettes it is possible to bridge this gap. Briquettes are cheaper than COAL, OIL or LIGNITE once used cannot be replaced. Biomass briquettes are a renewable source of energy and help reduce the carbon content in the atmosphere. Energy is a key source of development and growth in any economy. Biomass Briquette

9. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI Biomass Briquette Industry Analysis India is the sixth largest electricity generating country in the world and accounts for about 4% of global annual electricity generation. India is also ranked as the sixth largest electricity consumer worldwide. The growth trend in global energy consumption is expected to continue in the future

12. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI Unreliability of electricity supplies is severe enough to constitute a constraint on the country's overall economic development The Indian energy sector faces a number of challenges. Lack of investment in mining - in spite of the economic liberalization of 1991 the coal mining sector has not seen major investments. India has not been able to develop a comprehensive solution to deal with the high levels of fly ash generated at coal power stations through the use of Indian coals. Lowering energy intensity of GDP growth through higher energy efficiency is key to meeting India's energy challenge, ensuring its energy security and tackling CO2 emissions.

15. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI This product cannot compete with coal or lignite. Thus in states like Orissa, Bihar, and West Bengal etc. which are near to the coal belt the briquette industry is not competitive. However, in states such as Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala etc., which are situated away from the coal belt, and incur high coal transportation costs the briquette industry is competitive.

16. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI Installed Capacity The project is with an installed capacity of 1500 tons of briquettes annually on one shift basis to 'operate at 60% capacity in I year 70% in II year and 80% from III year onwards. The project requires about 1500 sq.ft. of shed which can be taken on lease/rent. A monthly rent of Rs.5OOO is considered in working out the economics.

25. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI The agro waste is dried, if necessary, up to 12-15% moisture content in a drier, pulverized to small particle size in a pulverizer and fed to the hopper of the briquetting machinery when the briquettes are extruded continuously which are cut to required length and packed. 1. The first step in Briquetting is to collect a large amount of the material. 2 . Then the material is cut or crushed to make it smaller. 3. Next it is combined with a small amount of water and a substance called a binder. 4. A binder keeps the material from falling apart when the pressure is taken away. Clay, mud, cement and starch are commonly used binders. Biomass Briquette Process
26. Centre For Retail Management, FDDI Right now the central and state governments provide a capital subsidy amounting to 10% to 25% depending on the location of the industry in backward areas. Government provides Incentives are such as Income Tax, Sales Tax, VAT, and Excise Duty. The Pollution Control Board also granted to run the plant without NOC from the board. NGO or nationalized banks are giving priority to finance the project. Biomass Briquette Financial Incentives
