#Energy #Biomass

The Power Ministry in October 2021 had decreed that all thermal power plants ensure compliance by October 2022. But, India is severely lagging in ensuring that at least 5% of coal used in thermal plants was mixed with biomass despite guidelines mandating them to do so.

Biomass pellets have the same calorific value as coal and mixing them with coal saves consumption as well as reportedly cuts emissions.
