Study on Biomass potential: A comparative analysis of India and EU leading towards Bio-based economy
PIYUSH JOSHITERI, INDIA
International Conference on Advances in Energy Research
10th-12th December, 2013
Strengthening Networking on Biomass Research and Biowaste Conversion – Biotechnology for
Europe India Integration
“SAHYOG” at a Glance
SAHYOG is co-funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme (Project No. FP7-289615) and by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), India
The project will help to identify opportunities for joint initiatives between the EU, its member states and India in the field of biomass production and biowaste conversion
A Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) and a R&D road map will be developed in order to facilitate concerted planning of future joint EU-India research initiatives
The project will identify actual biomass availability and promote new technologies that will drive Europe and India to an increased exploitation of biotechnology for biomass production and biowaste conversion
Fact Sheet “SAHYOG”
Objectives of SAHYOG
To bring together leading organisations in the field of biomass production and bio-waste conversion research carried out within EU research programmes and related programmes by Indian national institutions
Inventories of biomass and biowaste potentials and research projects are planned to be elaborated and analysed within SAHYOG
These inventories will be the basis for the joint Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) finally leading to a Roadmap for policymakers and researchers
SAHYOG will ensure wide-range networking of relevant industries and scientific communities and establish linkages between on-going research and innovation projects from EU and India

Biomass availability in India
The current availability of biomass in India is estimated at about 500 millions metric tones per year
About 32% of the total primary energy use in the country is still derived from biomass
Biomass power generation in India is an industry that attracts investments of over Rs.600 crores every year
Estimated 5000 million units of electricity and yearly employment of more than 10 million man/days in the rural areas
Sugar industry has been traditionally practicing cogeneration by using bagasse as a fuel
India do not have surplus vegetable oil and biodiesel production should depend on imported oil !
The nation does not have land resources to support the cultivation of oil crops or any energy crops at levels which can meet the production demand !
India generates ~600 MMT of agricultural residues annually and this could be a potential feedstock for fuel production.
~51 % of the land surface in India is cultivated and the cultivated lands are mostly rain-fed !!!!

The Potential in India for Biofuels
Strengths
Alternate fuel source
Energy security of the country
Less GHG emissions, environment friendly
Higher Cetane number and better lubricating effect for biodiesel
Weaknesses
Wasteland requirements
Need for engine modifications in higher blends
Market still in nascent stage
Still in field trial stage in India
Opportunities
National Biodiesel policy
Keen interest of private players
R&D across the sector
Less dependency on depleting fossil fuels
Threats
The discovery of huge gas reserves in India may push biofuels on the back foot
Food vs. fuel debate
Cost effectiveness of Biofuels
Raw material
Comparatives analysis of Biomass in EU and India
Methodology followed for making common Biomass inventories
Criteria adopted for data collection
Collection and compilation of information (last five years duration)
Visited Agricultural Universities, State Agricultural and Forest Departments, Central and State Research organizations and several Institutes of National importance
Collection of data from various sources (Reports, manuscripts , reviews, books, relevant online sources, Universities/ Institutes library and resource persons)
Preparation of Inventory sheets
Separate sheet for separate states and Pan India
The data collected is compiled and filled in the excel sheets
Includes all the possible data reported from relevant source
Most recent data was included in the sheets
All the crops grown in India was placed in the sheet and one master file was created
All data filled should have been converted into similar units so as to compare easily
EU sources for preparing inventories
In Europe the information was obtained through the
relevant ERA-NET networks on Bioenergy, Industrial
Biotechnology, Plant Genomics, EC Cordis database and
the relevant European projects like Star-Colibri, Bioref etc.
Pan India and state level inventorisation
We considered the several relevant sources of Govt. of
India which gives data on Biomass/crop production/yield,
but crops considered in each database in not uniform

Total growing stock of wood follows a decreasing trend (Table ) in
forest and trees outside forests (TOF). Moreover, average growing
stock per hectare of forest area has declined to 58.46 cubic meters
(cu. m) in 2009 from 61.72 cu. m in 2003. Thus there are legal
implications for usage of forest biomass as a substrate for its
conversion to bioenergy by Ministry of Environment and Forests,
India
The type of conversion processed used for conversion of the
biomass to energy as identified in India were mainly Pyrolysis (57%),
Gasification (29%) and Combustion / Anaerobic digestion (14%)

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE … Indian Scenario
• Energy content in waste is not being used • No creation of new jobs
Source : CPCB report, 2012
For agricultural data, the total amount of residues (actual biomass) were calculated using CRR ratio but the data for used and surplus residues (net biomass) were not available
TOF (Tree outside forest) data is present in scattered form and no information on there consumption is present with ministry or on net
Short rotational forestry and energy plantation were reported from some regions but there is no such Pan India data base
Limitations faced during Biomass inventorisation
Data for industrial waste generated is not available since
there is no reported data indicating the actual amount of
industrial wastes from whole country
Since the amount of MSW generated in whole country
was not available, thus extrapolations were done on the
population basis, in order to calculate the actual amount
of waste generated and the power generation potential
that can be derived from it
The major challenge in India is related to centralized documentation of authenticated databases and updating of relevant information of Biomass availability and projects funded for biomass research, as it is available in Europe. Therefore under the present study we have tried to compiled all the latest available data into one web page, for easy access in the future research.

Conclusion
A bright future for bio-based economy in EU and India
